  • The word you look for is sense so your post made no sense. 

  • You know Sarah Palin and Glen Beck celebrated 9/11 with a beer party this year? Makes sence since the gop tried to finish off what's left of the 9/11 first responders today.

  • If Sanford was a Democrat caught cheating on his wife he would be thrown out of office

  • sanford hyprocrit his state gets lots more in spending than it pays in taxes for years now 2005 they got $1.31 in spending for every dollar in taxespaid in SC sure can spend look it up so he lies sc uses money for what repubs would call crap for some time a ton unemployment is 10% second worse in country and he just doesnt care most in Sc are very upset repubs and dems with him and I dont blame them

  • i think governors are right to voice concerns about the stimulus bill, it wasn't debated in congress just rammed through by parliamentary procedure, so this is what should happen in a democracy...its called checks and balances

    surely even people who voted for democrats and obama don't want these spending bills to be implemented without discussion or debate?

    our congressmen are like spoiled children who want to buy everything they see in walmart without any thought put into the decision

  • All republicnsfrom the Bushera should not be voted for next election>they are all bad people with all the wrong ideas>hypocrites at best!

  • Someone against "this" stimulus can still take the money.

    1) They are not against a stimulus. They just don't agree on how to spend it.

    2) The money is going to be spent regardless, might as well spend it.

  • CBS is owned by GE, who will directly benefit from the stimulus at the expense of taxpayers' money..it's not suprising they're critical of those who reject being force-fed bad policy and bankrupting their states so GE can pump up it's profits.

    unbiased? hardly..

  • CBS is not owned by GE. NBC is owned by GE.

  • These guys are honorable and so different from politics as usual -- refreshing! I think if the Federal gov't were truly fair, they would gracefully and respectfully keep the money that these governors are declining to take and put it back in the treasury where it belongs, which would save all the taxpayers some of that stimulus debt. That would be the noble thing for the Fed gov't to do.

  • These are the states that have a surplus. In good times and bad they do what it takes to balance their budgets -- these states and these governors should be respected for that, and should be held up as examples of good governance. States are supposed to be independent -- this is a republic and that is what our founding fathers intended.

  • (cont'd)

    Once states sell their souls to the federal government the US is no longer what it was founded to be -- we become another step closer to a socialist "nanny state". People, banks, industries, and states all bailed out by the Feds.

  • money is not needed to get country stimulated...if its that easy why not just print 1000billion everyday. most people don't understand this, thats why washington keep printing and borrowing and think it will help....

    imagine living your life without work, all u do is borrow money from frds, family and banks.

  • What a blithering idiot of a comment. You make ZERO cents. Did you ever take a finance class? An economics class? Got to the store to buy a can of pop? Get a paycheck from an employer?? Man, you're STOOOPID. I know I'm gonna waste my time trying to explain this, but here goes. THE U.S. FINANCIAL MARKETS ARE FROZEN. Banks are NOT LENDING THEIR CAPITAL TO ANYONE. Why? They have NO CONFIDENCE that they'll be paid back. That means, no cash for businesses, the economic engine of the nation stops.

  • banks are lending money, they are just not lending to people with bad credit. The people with poor credit are going to get money from the government. They will still have bad credit and 6 months from now they will need more money. They will again look to the government who can continue to lend them money because the gov doesn't have to worry about being payed back. The Federal gov is the lender of last resort because it can print money.Utlimately it is inflationary. Gold is now at $1000 an OZ.

  • What's more, you moron. If businesses buy material, can't make product, they stop. Layoffs. Employees then can't buy stuff. Can't pay their mortgages. Lose their homes. They go on the street. Home prices plunge. Local economies crash. It continues to spiral down. Folks go on welfare, and the government has to step in to help. That's why the government is the ONLY PARTY IN THIS GOP-CREATED MESS that can do something. That is, to spend and buy things. Get the economy moving. It's called STIMULUS.

  • Lastly, your STUPID and IGNORANT comment that, "Money is not needed to get the country stimulated..." reveals that you are a COMPLETE BAFFOON. Like a child asking her father when Santa Claus is gonna drop by with her new horsie.

    Before you open your ridiculously-simple-minded trap, open up a newspaper and read the financials, or get a book on Economics 101. Or at least TRY TO SOUND marginally un-stupid.  It makes no sense to save this economy, or the Worlds, if you're the one we're saving.

  • haha explaining econ to me...thanx.....

    pumping money = stimulus ahh so simple

    i see that ur professional econ knowledge tend to exclude understanding of gov. savings, nominal values, inflation and market price.

  • the more money they print the less money you have. stop the madness.

  • the money is needed to get the country stimulated again and the lag is just it being given out over a long time and not in one big fund.
