Revenue sharing, am I now against it?

 Sure, why not, send me the 700 bucks.

We will get another layer of bots who work well with earmark sharing and be second least worst solution to the government wobble problem.  

But revenue sharing will come up again, likely in a year, and folks will remember Pelosi and McConnell haggling over the 150 billion.  Newsom will regret not taking the 13 billion and getting stuck with net 5.  

So is this a permanent failure? My inner anarchist says yes, move on; my inner Markov says no, we will do it very slightly better next budget cycle. But for now, send me a check and I can deal with Newsom out here one more round.

I think Newsom is using early retirements to cut his budget, dropping higher salaried and deferring current costs to pension costs. He has otherwise run out of bullets, losing a tax battle, and not looking forward to a huge income tax battle with the Swamp involved.  None of his Swamp bailouts worked. 

Republican senators do not trust governors with slush funds, in general. They know the caliber of governors we are stuck with. We are going to attempt a can kick with earmarks dragging us down. I am not sure Newsom can convert 10 billion in covid medical funds into pension payments. Illinois, ditto.
