Gov. Jerry Brown delivers a keynote address during the 2011 Pacific Coast Builders Conference Thursday in San Francisco.
With California’s new fiscal year starting Friday and no compromise with the GOP on a budget in sight, Gov. Jerry Brown’s chief spokesman called Sacramento Republicans “basically moronic” for failing to strike an agreement.
Brown wants a fall election on taxes and to extend vehicle and sales tax hikes that will otherwise expire by Friday. Republicans are demanding pension, regulatory and spending policy concessions in exchange for such an election. They have balked at extending taxes.
“The Republicans in Sacramento are basically moronic. But we’re hopeful that they can realize we’re on an unsustainable trajectory here, one that is not fiscally responsible and one for which they are at least partially responsible,” Gil Duran, Brown’s press secretary, said in an interview with KPCC.
Duran also questioned Republicans’ competence in drafting the policy changes they are seeking.

Uh yes,that’s right folks. Living within your means without having others pay for it (sort of) is moronic! Have you ever seen such a broken record? Watch out, next they left will fling the baby killer and senior killer epithets.
Can’t even be original.
What is moronic is burdening California’s middle-class with even more taxes that is a result of wild over-spending by Democrats in the legislature. Enough with taxes. We are already taxed enough. Please, stop.
