Here's a funny little exchange between Gov. Schwarzenegger and Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters during a budget press conference in a Capitol hallway yesterday.

GOVERNOR:...I think that Democrats and Republicans are working together on this. And the key thing is now to just really make sure they don't come up with one-time solutions, because even if you go and withhold your taxes, it's a one-time solution. Or if you go and move the date of paying your paychecks from June 30th to July 1st, to kick it over to the next fiscal year, that's a one-time solution. It doesn't help you in the out years. And so what we have to think about is, how do we make sure that we get rid of the structural deficit once and for all? I think this is what the people expect us to do, to solve this crisis, to solve these problems. Then our credit rating will be good again, people will want to do business with us, people will get money to us. So all good things will happen if we solve this problem and solve it, solve the entire $24 billion.
WALTERS: Governor, don't you have one-time solutions yourself? You have the accelerated withholding. Isn't that a one-time solution?
GOVERNOR: Absolutely correct. And what we don't want to do is add to those, because we make --
WALTERS: So it's all right if you do it but no all right if they do it?
GOVERNOR: No, not to add onto it. Very good point, Daniel. (Laughter) I mean, we don't want to add onto the problem.
