Nice of the socialist CBS to frame the governor in such a negative light by harping on the poor quality of some schools. It was nice of them to interview people other than that brainwashed girl to make their point.
Miss Teen USA South Carolina 2009? "They uh need uh stimulus money in our education places such as in South Africa and uh The Iraq, everywhere, like, such as". "I uh don't understand why printing large such as federal reserve notes will uh devalue our currency such as". "The Governor is like such as so mean uh to not such as uh bankrupt our country to uh bailout our almost bankrupt state such as".
This little girl is being brainwashed into believing that accepting the money will be helpful, yet no one is explaining to her the terms and conditions of the money and the long term negative affects of such a drastic loan.
Haha this girl is so foolish. She has never even had to pay taxes. She'll soon realize that that federal money towards public schools does not help TEST SCORES. This is fact. Good parenting which comes from personal responsibility helps test scores.
Typical spoiled teenager, unable to think of any consequences beyond graduation.
To Tracy's peers who CAN imagine a brighter future: Speak up against your schoolmate and demand that money be given back to the taxpayers to do with as they see fit. Or watch out: One of these days the government will tell you how you must spend ALL your money.
SC pays in 130% in education taxes compared to the rest of the country and we still get shit. This bitch is stupid for fighting a real fiscal conservative. She wants to lay trillions of debt onto future generations. Selfish bitch.
You guys give me hope that in 4 years we can escape our march toward Marxism.
Whenever a state accepts funds from the national treasury that state is better off and the rest of the states worse off to a greater extent. When all states accept funds from the national government all states are dragged down.
It's nice having people at the state level taking the responsibility to stop trying to disadvantage others for an inefficient gain. I hope the nation reciprocates SC's responsibility.
Lets see, only about 35% to 40% of people that work for the public schools are actually teachers. Most of the rest work in the district office. So instead of firing the people who work in the district office(which make way more money than the teachers) we are going to black mail the voters to accept federal money (control) or fire the teachers.
Have you ever heard of homeschooling? (It's REAL educaton.)
If you feel so strongly about getting more taxpayer debt to pay off the rest of your life, maybe you do need more education. Fight for more homeschooling.
Yay! Let's take the "stimulus" money and be happy for 2 years, and after it runs,out, what do we do then? File a lawsuit on whoever is Gov? Does she think $700 mill is going to fix a broken system? Money has been thrown at the SC school system for years, and guess what, it is still awful. When will people understand that government makes everything worse?
It's about NOT accepting the Federal central planning, the federal debt, the socialism and the democrat-socialist & neocon-fascist "new deal" USSA future.
It's about THIS governor's willingness to actually HONOR his OATH to the Constitution.
This is way politicians that think long term don't stay in office. They don't do what's politically expedient so they are chastised for it.
Paying down debt is the smartest thing to do in these troubled economic times. Unfortunately, that's not immediately tangible so public works projects will always win.
If only we could get Clark Howard to intervene. This kid is GREAT at at identifying a cause and raising SOME serious dough for her HER cause. KEEP BIG GOV'T OUT if You WANT lasting RESULTS
She can't see that this so called stimulus is really stealing not from these kids but from future generations. How hard is it to understand that we are borrowing money and someone will have to pay it eventually.
everybody who whrigt this "in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck!!!
im sorry i dnt wnt to die" is a fuckin idiot... no such things as ghosts...
This is the first time that this nation has dealt with a stimulus plan of this size and magnitude. Also considering the fact that we are in a recession rather than a depression, how are you able back up your statement, whether through examples or reasoning?
At the core of these conservative principles are more than fiscal elitism and there is not enough reason for lifelong conservatives to change their views.

And why even a child shall lead them? Because that is how dumb are the Sandfords, Palins, Perrys, Jindals, bush, cheney -- as dumb as a bush. lol
These bible thumpers prolly never read about & learned from the INCOMPETENT scrooge who buried the one talent, rather than INVESTING it!
With a bit of COMPETENCE, the BADLY NEEDED, stimulus monies can be INVESTED WISELY, so as to save future generations the burden of repayment
If Sanford, Palin, Perry, Jindal, et all

Socialists, like most corrupt people are easily bribed with other people's money and debt.
This child is a product of the Statist, central planner's failed school system.
More money = less competition and more public schools failures like this child.

If the federal government wants to give states (us) back our own money... there should not be conditions on how we can spend the money.
The governor is right.
