If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

The Governor’s proposed sweep of $1.5B from cap & trade funds would cut emergency transit funding for operations & capital. For example:
Muni: $200M cut
BART: $290M cut
