Faced with an $8 billion budget shortfall, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to rally his state's congressional delegation Thursday to stand together to "get everything possible" for the state.
"We are not asking the White House, and we are not asking the federal government or anyone in Washington to bail us out," Schwarzenegger said. "We are not asking to go and get a handout. We just want our fair share."
Schwarzenegger said his administration is grappling with problems "that were created in California by Californians." But he said California has some "unusual problems" that he considers a federal responsibility, such as the incarceration of undocumented immigrants.
