Certainly but they should give it right back to the taxpayers in their own state in the form of a check.

Your argument is ridiculous because the taxpayers in those states are liable for this debt whether they take the funds or not. This is why pork is so hard to to get rid of, as disagreeable as it is you have to pursue those funds because it's your constituents tax dollars.

The bailouts were paid by the federal taxes, not state, and each state did not get amounts equal to their input some states such as Alaska get far more than they ever put in. Yo were saying?

Technically it was paid for by taxes future generations will contribute. You're under the impression Federal taxes are picked from the money tree on capital lawn?

and each state did not get amounts equal to their input

You are using this as argument for or against the bailouts? Seems to me its good example of taxpayers getting screwed.

That's an untestable hypothesis, and as such, we have to simply take it as a "hypothesis" and nothing more. Just like someone else could come in here and state that without the stimulus the American economy would be in a better position today.

It didn't do the very thing he said it would do--keep unemployment under 8%. No matter how he spins it, it didn't work.

Would someone tell the lame duck idiot there is nothing he has done to recover anything.

The only recovery is once we get his sorry arse out of our WH.
