Schwarzenegger Declares Californians "EXPENDABLES". Asks them to just kill themselves.


In an unprecedented move possibly influenced by his latest movie, Governor aka "The Terminator", Schwarzenegger has decided to dispense with what he called "trivial stabs at dealing with the budget crisis in California."

After considering slashing programs that aid the most needy in the state, such as the physically and mentally disabled, the poor, and children, as well as selling off state property including Cal Expo and San Quentin in addition to slashing the pay of state workers which are supposed to serve California citizens, Schwarzenegger has declared Californian citizens as "expendables" and asked citizens in the state just to kill themselves.

"I mean, c'mon. Here we are talking about da poor leetle children and stuff and cutting salaries of state workers and selling off stuff and I mean, c'mon. Lets just get to the point which is that if there were fewer Caleeforneians, it would make it alot easier to balance the budget and stuff."

Schwarzenegger is apparently negotiating a deal with the private prison industry to not only release thousands of prisoners, but to insure the most dangerous prisoners are released just in case citizens are not up to the job of expending themselves on their own.

"I mean, c'mon," Schwarzenegger said in the same interview, "we are not just releasing thousands of prisoners into da society of Caleeforneia. We are offering these prisoners an opportunity to contribute in a positive way to the state." Apparently a hotline will be set up

1-800-KilURSlf4Ca (Kill Yourself for California Campaign) to assist people in planning their exit.

 "I mean, c'mon. Let's just get to the point. There are too many people in Caleeforneia and they are not happy. I know de are not happy so, you know...I mean, c'mon. Dis is a win win situation."

Apparently the legislature is slated to consider enacting a "dignity with death" law soon similar to that in Washington to further encourage citizen action in the direction of "expendability."

A legislator who asked to remain anonymous was quoted as saying," I mean, he does have a point. I mean, for example, I am a legislator and could not possibly kill myself because my role is fairly, well, important and gosh, I mean, I am already taking $20,000 a year less in per diem costs than is offered." (Legislators are eligible for $40,000 in per diem costs for serving on the legislature) but some little convenience store clerk or something...do I need to elaborate here?"

The Kill Yourself for California Campaign is expected to run through 2012.

Eet requuires 2/3 majority to pass tax increases... seemple majority to pass tax cuts... but only individual participation to die.

Zee math is seemple even for Gullyforneeuns.
