Matt Welch on KFI's John and Ken Show at 5 pm PDT, Talking California Budget Politics

I'll be on the West Coast's premier talk radio outlet, KFI 640 AM, at 5 in the evening local time, to discuss California's silent big spenders, L.A. Times columnist Michael Hiltzik's lousy math, and the ongoing scare campaign from the state's failed political class. You can listen live at this link.

Since it's John & Ken, I assume that LoneWacko will be listening.

Christ, it's 5:07 and still listening to commercials. Now I remember why I don't listen to terrestrial radio anymore.

[====BudgetChats.COm====] is where you get to meet states with the biggest *BUDGETS* you've ever seen! Indulge your wildest spending fantasies as you increase the pay of unionized public service workers! No man has ever satisfied these insatiable government agencies - they'll just come back for more!

But we're not a B&D site, so just leave those fiscal restraints at home. Pervert.

[Q]

Why the J&K hate? They're pretty libertarian. They're the *only* media figures standing up for the taxpayer here in California. They hit whomever they think needs hitting. Witness how they originally supported Gov. Arnold, and now excoriate him as one of the biggest betrayers of the voters to even gain office.
