Governor Jerry Brown (D-CA) has imposed emergency water restrictions on California residents due to the drought, which include up to $500 a day fines on households who take too long of showers. This seems rather draconian on residents, especially since agricultural interests do not suffer similar strictures.
Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlitt Packard who unsuccessfully ran to represent California in the US Senate in 2012, has not minced words about where to place the blame for the drought-- liberal politics.
Carly Fiorina, who made an unsuccessful bid to represent the California in the US Senate in 2012 and is currently contemplating a run for the Republican Presidential nomination, did not mince words at who to blame-- liberal ideology.
During an interview with Glenn Beck to promote her upcoming book on leadership as well as her inchoate Republican Presidential campaign, spoke knowledgeably about how Golden State liberals prevented building new aqueducts and hydration infrastructure, despite a doubling of the population. Moreover, environmental activitists who championed federal lawsuits to protect the delta smelt which has turned what Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA 22nd) called an agricultural Garden of Eden back into a desert. The dirty truth is that the environmental suits root water rights to California's coastal urban areas while parching inland agricultural California.
Fiorina's fact that the water used in almond production alone represents 70% of California residential use shows how liberals who have run California for the last 30 years have made tragic mistakes on water use and infrastructure decisions.
Climate Change evangelists like Jerry Brown prefer big government solutions which take away individuals freedom to address insolvable issues like assumed anthropogenic global warming. The way that liberals are progressing, they may start articulating Mikail Gorbachev's modest proposal to tackle the "ecological crisis"-- eliminate 90% of the human population.
Some Tea Party types and activists in the conservative base question Carly Fiorina's viability of winning the Republican nomination. Her media hits and recent CPAC appearances have shown that Fiorina is an effective foil to criticizing Hillary Clinton. Fiorina's prowess on providing leadership against liberal environmental excess may be another important element in developing the Republican message in 2016.
