To pay for all of the outrageous union contracts, Governor Jerkinator has suggested -- not pay cuts -- but, wait for it,

"We pay them to build the prisons down in Mexico and then we have those undocumented immigrants be down there in a prison. ... And all this, it would be half the cost to build the prisons and half the cost to run the prisons," Schwarzenegger said, predicting it would save the state $1 billion that could be spent on higher education.

Future generations will marvel at this, the pinnacle of design achievement in the 21st century.
