Conservative Ideology Is Saving The Luxury Yacht Parking Industry

by: David Dayen

This is really kind of priceless.  So the Assembly caucuses are having their legislative retreats this week.  The Assembly Democrats are meeting at the UC Davis Medical Center.  The Assembly Republicans have booked out this hotel.  In addition to the many amenities at the Le Rivage Hotel, they offer:

Marina - Offers luxury yacht parking, long term and short term

Whether it's welfare queen Tom McClintock grabbing $300,000 in tax-free per diem payments even though he lives a short commute from the capital, or Jeff Denham pretending to decline pay raises while accepting them a few months after everyone stops paying attention, or Assembly Republicans making sure their retreat has luxury yacht parking, the contrast between the party of the people and the party of self-enrichment is striking.  The Yacht Party detests runaway spending unless it's spent on them.

Why Yacht Party is such an appropriate name (0.00 / 0)
They are no longer a republican party in the traditional sense of the term. They now quite clearly are espousing aristocracy. Rule by the wealthy elite. Teachers and Medi-Cal patients get fired or cut off from benefits, but yacht owners and Republican legislators get sweetheart deals. Only the nobility deserves to be treated lavishly; let the teachers eat cake.

You can check out any time you like but you can never leave

Or as KNBC asks: Is Tom McClintock giving So Cal the middle finger? (0.00 / 0)
Seriously, that is the title of a David Markland post.
