To be clear... Tariffs are not necessarily bad, but the way they were put in place was illegal. That's the argument .

I also had no idea that Grandpa Walton (Will Geer) was his duet partner in LA. My understanding was Will was a card carrying member but Woody only agreed with their general beliefs. That led to Geer being blacklisted in the 50's

Many people were unaware of Woody's service in the Merchant Marine during WWII. He was a mess worker & dishwasher. On one mission their ship took German torpedos and diverted to North Africa for repairs. Another ship carrying troops to Omaha Beach on D-Day survived torpedos as well

~15 yrs back, a family friend was approached by a realtor, representing an anonymous buyer. At the time the house was worth ~$2M. He kept turning down the offers until he sold it for $14.5M. Recently one of the compound homes was used for an illegal school which their kids and others attended.

Your devil's advocacy is helpful since you are right about the game the GOP Disinformation Machine will play. But Newsom is up to the challenge because the economic game the GOP is playing is suicidal.

Trump's tariffs have Effed the entire market for equities. Free trade is good for CA and the entire country.
Stephen Troyer (@ephman86.bsky.social) reply parent
The surpluses started with Jerry Brown and that's who helped teach Newsom their importance for preparing with "rainy day funds". His predecessors, like Arnold, never figured this out. Simple to show the surpluses result from capital gain sales of real estate and successful growth company stock.

His fiscal record is pretty strong. As you know, CA budget surplus/deficits are driven by a very lopsided revenue system that long predates him.

$100B budget surplus was the result of his COVID governance era. He hasn't been Mayor of SF for decades.

I lived in CA for 33 years. I had reservations about Newsom throughout his career. During the pandemic, shortly after he became governor, he really stepped up and proved he could make things happen, including a $100B budget surplus. He's still a little slick for my taste but I am a believer.

There are probably 20 FLW homes within walking distance of the Home/Studio. The Walter Gale home @ 1031 Chicago Ave does not look like one but it was the first home he designed after he got fired for Louis Sullivan who caught him doing commissions under the table while working for his firm.
