…it appears that Republicans in Congress have decided that instead of compromising—instead of asking anything of the wealthiest Americans—they’d rather let these cuts fall squarely on the middle class. And here’s what that choice means…thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off, and tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids.

—he’s always preferred Jerry—arrived from Sacramento not on a state aircraft (and certainly not a private jet, as was the preference of his predecessor, ) but aboard Flight 896 on Southwest Airlines. As Brown walked off the plane…he was essentially alone, save for a few police guards who hung off to the side. There were no press aides, no advance staff, no speechwriters, no policy mavens; in short, nothing like the bustling entourage…that typically buffers a chief executive.
