I mean we spent TRILLIONS in bailouts for auto companies, financial companies, banks, auto supply companies, foreclosure owners, unemployed, blah blah... it seems several hundred Billion would solve the state problems for one year... to me, it seems Obama seems to like social programs a lot and it seems this is a cause for a lot of problems in the various states... so states are cutting social services which goes against Obama's desires... so why doesn't he bail them out? Just curious... He is ready to spend trillions more by turning on the printing press for all sorts of new social programs but he doesn't want to keep the social programs already setup and eating up the states' budgets? I don't get it...

I don't get it either Evilnewbie... We spent several billions bailing out private entities but when a state is suffering a severe financial crisis, Obama turns a blind ear. You'd think that bailing out one of your own states would be a priority versus the private entities that have received taxpayer bailouts. Where are his priorities???
Why don't we all just open our wallets and empty them out? Maybe they'll be kind and let us keep a Lincoln for a cup of coffee.
If I open my wallet there is nothing in there. The govt already took it all. We gotta keep on giving trillions in aid to countries who hate our guts, fight wars that is none of our damn business, send trillions to the moon where we already know there is nothing up there, buy $500 toilet seats, give billions to colleges to study what happens to an orange if it sits in the sun and on and on and on..........
I don't approve of bailouts of either states or corporations but, if I had to pick one, I'd choose states any day.
Well, he probably would if they would sign an in-perpetuity agreement to never secede.
Personally, I prefer secession to slavery.

Why doesn't Obama bailout the states?
