Lieutenant Governor In Action

"Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante has signed an agreement to establish a public-private partnership to promote trade between California and Mongolia," reports the Sacramento Business Journal.

I like Mongolian beef as much as the next guy, but what the heck is going on? See if this gives you a clue:

"Two California firms will receive assistance from the Business Forum as they conduct a feasibility study and develop a contract with the Mongolian government to build a hospital in Ulaanbaatar and equip it with state-of-the-art technology."

Mmmm hmmmm.... Whenver "firms" get "assistance," I smell "welfare for the rich." How much "assistance" did YOUR firm get from the government this year?

Whom should we elect as California's next Lieutenant Governor? Does it matter? Will he or she manage to sign a deal with Madagascar?
