Don't be a cementhead. Do you understand how bad this nation's banking situation is? The stock market is telling you.
You need to uncement your head. The banks didn't one day just fail. It was all from greed, people living far above their means, the housing bubble most of all brought about the bank problems.
Easy credit, housing loans given to people who had no ability to pay their mortgages. Far too much spending. Too much credit, too much irresponsibility and fraud.
That's why more spending, spending trillions more dollars that we don't have will not solve the problem.
In the past, they could pull off this type of thing because their constituents were too dumb to know what was going on -- but now we have the INTERNET! And that means their constituents are a lot smarter than they think they are.
Also from Greenville, SC, and think Sanford is being an idiot, as do my friends. We take a lot more federal money than we put in as a state, can't pay for the 10% of the people who are unemployed here, have gone to the Fed 2x already this year for unemployment money. Now Sanford is taking the money he fought so hard against. (http://www.thestate.com/business/story/694418.html - broken link)
That's telling the Fed "how it is"!!!!!
I really think that you would like California, Southside Chicago or NY better than Greenville, the political filth is so much prettier this time of year.
It's just cheap political posturing. Not to mention that having made their splash with this crap they may take the money anyway and spin it in the usual political fashion. Still, they're partisan idiots. Arnold is taking the money, you can bet that, he puts the welfare of his citizens and his state first, not insipid GOP grandstanding. I hear that Gov Crist of FL is also taking the money. If those GOP idiots really do refuse the money, and their people suffer, the idiots are just signing their own political death warrants.
Well folks, the spinning is over. The clown-assed Governor of SC was the last holdout, but as of today, Sanford and all of the GOP holdouts now are taking the stimulus money and running with it. Told ya so. You betcha.
Excerpts from the news item:
- South Carolina's Republican governor will break his political logjam with the White House over stimulus funds today, becoming the last governor in the nation to officially seek billions of dollars in federal economic recovery funds.
- Gov. Mark Sanford will announce at a 1 p.m. news conference that he will comply with today's critical deadline for governors to claim the money allocated by Congress and President Obama in the $787 billion stimulus bill, ...

What an idiot Sanford is....All that smack talking he was doing....You know this will be recalled if he does indeed run for President in 2012.

So all this talk about not accepting the money was just political posturing? When push came to shove, he took it!
