For Ryan, he knows Schwarzenegger's current situation very well, and the position of governor of California has never been easy to sit on, and in some way even surpasses the one in the White House.

In the eyes of many political and economic celebrities, and even the concerned public, California is a small universe in the United States, a testing ground for all things important in all aspects of the country, especially politics.

In 2004, Schwarzenegger defeated more than 100 opponents to become the second Hollywood star since Ronald Reagan to take charge of a U.S. state government as an actor.

It may be as showmanlike as all politicians, but California does need a strong figure to get it out of the quagmire, and Californians want a strong governor to get California back on track.

Californians support the Hollywood movie star Schwarzenegger to come to power, they hope that Schwarzenegger, who is a halfway monk and has a lot of money, will not be subject to any interest group, and hope that the "terminators" will break the partisan politics and change the political atmosphere in California.

Although Schwarzenegger also has the support of some interest groups and represents the interests of these interest groups, frankly, he has made some efforts.

Since coming to power, Schwarzenegger has taken some tough measures against the special interest groups he identifies, but has been met with strong resistance and countermeasures.

In November 2005, the California Special Election Commission prepared to hold a referendum on a number of governance issues proposed by Schwarzenegger, such as the budget, gerrymandering, and tenure of teachers, and the interests of teachers, nurses, and the elderly were affected by Schwarzenegger's policies.

When Schwarzenegger called these people "special interest groups" and said that special interest groups did not like him, these so-called "special interest groups" instantly united, and the union organizations, mainly nurses, teachers, firefighters and retirees, became the main force of opposition to the reform.

As a result, Schwarzenegger's proposals did not pass the test, and his political and economic reforms were defeated by the trade unions and the huge interest groups they represented.

At one point, these unions even sought to remove Schwarzenegger from power early.

If it weren't for the covert support of big groups such as Disney. It's hard to say whether Schwarzenegger can still sit in this position right now.

After that catastrophic failure, Schwarzenegger, who lacked political experience, learned his lesson and began to think about the reality of politics in California, and he took responsibility for the failure, saying at a press conference that if I were to play "The Terminator" again, I would let the "Terminator" travel back in time to tell Sù Arnold not to hold that special policy issue reform.

Later, as a Republican, Schwarzenegger appointed a Democrat as the governor's chief of staff, and Schwarzenegger gradually gained a foothold, and his policy line turned to the left, as if moving closer to the "moderates". in order to lay the groundwork for re-election.

One of California's biggest problems is undoubtedly the fiscal deficit, and even the East Coast media once ridiculed that California could become the first state in U.S. history to declare bankruptcy.

What Californians want most is for Schwarzenegger to end the state's deficit, and Schwarzenegger has promised that his first priority in office is to solve the deficit problem, and even intends to push for cuts in state budgets.

Faced with California's budget dilemma, Schwarzenegger called for the abandonment of the partisanship of the past, and he even coined a term -- "postpartisanism." That is, the two parties work together to seek common ground while reserving differences and actively cooperate.

"Seek a new policy, a new policy that can get rid of the positioning of traditional labels, break the constraints of old conventions, and break out of the shackles of old mantles."

That's what Schwarzenegger said in a televised speech.

But reality is always crueler than ideals, especially for politics.

Back as an actor, Schwarzenegger once said that I admire any powerful figure in history. Even the dictators, the great people who are still remembered thousands of years later, like Jesus, are my idols.

Although it is moving closer to the moderates. But in reality, he still wanted to play the role of a powerful man and implement his own fiscal policy, so he took government employees and cut their salaries. But this angered the powerful employee unions, which at one point joined forces with other trade union organizations to launch another campaign to remove Schwarzenegger.

Eventually, Arnold? Schwarzenegger had to compromise again, and the tough guys and terminators on the screen, even reduced to the disadvantaged group in real politics, had to completely throw themselves into the 'moderates'.

The vested interests will never sit idly by and watch reforms that are unfavorable to them take place, and it is extremely difficult for a staunch reformer in any country or region in the world to sit in a high position, and even if he sits on it, it often does not end well.

Schwarzenegger was by no means a staunch reformer, and after a series of setbacks, he naturally chose to put these issues on hold for the time being.

Perhaps he did not have in mind the idea of leaving these problems to his successor to solve.

At a party earlier this year, Mr. Schwarzenegger complained to Mr. Ryan's old friends that when he first stepped into the governor's office, he felt that the governor's power was enormous, but he felt that his power was limited, because it was not a one-man show. When you want to reform taxes, you have to consult with 120 MPs, all of whom have their own views. ”

Schwarzenegger even thinks it's the fault of liberal democracy, "Democracy has its benefits, but it also has its disadvantages." ”

His words are not unreasonable, such as Schwarzenegger's several attempts to push for tax reform on Hollywood and the film industry, but he has not been able to get through the Guò state legislature.

In the past two years, Schwarzenegger's public approval rating has been declining, and California's already messy fiscal problems have become even more chaotic in his hands.

However, Ryan is not a political idiot who knew almost nothing in his previous life, and this situation does have a lot to do with Schwarzenegger's lack of political experience and his own position is easily shaken, but the California financial crisis must not be attributed to anyone.

California's fiscal crisis is a deep-seated problem, not just for who is responsible, but for the systemic state of California, where the two political parties are unable to overcome their differences and find a solution to the country's huge deficits and worst credit ratings.

And when, for example, Schwarzenegger and previous governors want to push for fiscal and tax reforms that offend their interests, these guys will immediately jump out against it, and this is not the case with Schwarzenegger's governorship.

So, like all governments in the world, problems like these most difficult to solve are naturally pushed to the heads of their successors.

As for whether the successor can solve the problem, they don't care as Hollywood does with the voices of overseas protests, and even if the state government goes bankrupt in their office, life may not change much for these wealthy lawmakers.

The biggest reason why these interest groups from Hollywood, including Ryan, support Schwarzenegger is that they want him to push for the reform of California's film tax laws and preferential policies, but in the current form, the hope is extremely slim.

Schwarzenegger's biggest appeal now is to seek re-election and reach the peak of his political career, although there are various rumors that the outside world ridicules him for running for president, but he is not qualified to run for president.

The federal constitution clearly states that a candidate for president must not only be a U.S. citizen, but must also be born in the United States!

Arnold, so to speak, the governor is already Arnold? Schwarzenegger is at the peak of his career, and if he succeeds in his subsequent re-election, he will inevitably become one of the most criticized governors in California's history.

Next year, one of the worst years for the United States, real estate is the backbone of California's industry, and when the next governor takes over, he will be left with a fiscal deficit that is even more terrifying than the current deficit of more than $25 billion.

Perhaps in the near future, Californians will have to pay a higher price for courage and sacrifice.

But Ryan and these people are definitely not in this ranks.

The sun tilted to the west, and the guests who participated in the party duì said goodbye one after another, and Ryan and Nicole sent off most of the guests, except for the younger ones, who stayed for the time being.

"Allison ......"

The doorway of the villa, Lily? Mo? Xin looked at Taylor, who was packing his handbag, "Aren't you spending the night here?" I'm here to hear you talk about the concert. ”

"I'm sorry, Lily."

Looking at Scarlett, who drove the car to the door of the villa, Taylor turned around and hugged Lily, "I have something to do with Scarlett today, and I will definitely tell you more about it another day." ”

"Okay then." Lily is much more reasonable than Taylor when she was a child.

"You two don't drive."

Ryan hurried out of the villa and stopped Taylor and Scarlett, "If I'm not mistaken, you two were drinking. ”

"That ......" Taylor put his hands behind his back, his royal blue eyes looking at the sky.

"Scarlett, get out of the car."

Gestured to the blushing Scarlett to get out of the car, and Ryan said to the housekeeper who followed behind, "Elsa, tell the driver to drive the car over and send them back." ”

"Did something happen?"

Nicole also walked out, and when she saw Scarlett with a blushing face, she immediately understood, frowned and said, "Scarlett, Allison, don't leave today." ”

"It's okay, Elsa has already informed the driver." Taylor's eyes rolled, and he took a few quick steps to pull Scarlett over, "We made an appointment with someone to send a duì to Scarlett in the evening." ”

The black Rolls-Royce drove to the front of the villa, and Ryan waved his hand at the two of them, "Let's go." ”

"Bye-bye, Ryan."

As soon as Scarlett waved at Ryan, she was pulled into the car by Taylor.

Watching Rolls Rouss drive out of the gate, Nicole suddenly asked Ryan, "Why do I always think Scarlett and Allison are weird?" ”

"Haven't they been like this since they were young?" Ryan thought it was normal, "Don't worry, they're all smart." (To be continued......)
