The Sacramento Bee’s Capitol Bureau is collecting Jerry Brownisms, assembled at a Twitter feed dubbed JerryBrownSays. A sampling:
- It’s a pretzel palace of incredible complexity (state budget)
- Government can best solve those problems that it itself first created.
- I did it once in nice weather and it wasn’t that great. (On Occupy members he sees sleeping in tents in the cold.)
- We’ve got more balls in the air than I’ve ever seen in California, and they all could come down the wrong way.
- I think we’ll get this done well before the seventh generation. (high-speed rail)
