Arnold Schwarzenegger's seven-year term as California governor ends Monday, but his exit is not much of a Hollywood ending. The former bodybuilder and movie actor ends his final term with an approval rating of just 22 per cent after using up the state's two-term limit on being governor. He leaves as the state deficit grows, schools struggle and federal courts have taken control of part of the prison system.When he entered politics, Schwarzenegger promised to fix California's financial mess and balance the budget. He pruned expenses through layoffs and salary rollbacks, but the recession got the better of him, and he will be leaving behind a $28-billion US budget deficit.
