Many states have severe budget issues. Getting themselves laden with expensive programs that will put them deeper in the hole is not going to help things any. Just get them more dependant upon federal money than they already are, which I suspect is the real agenda here.
Sanford is a grandstanding SOB with big political ambitions who makes a lot of noise to woo the base but will end up taking the bucks.
Without jobs there will be no economy, period, and he knows it. The whole purpose of the money is to help states put people to work.
The stimulus may not work even at that if the economy doesn't catch fire and start to build on the jump start, but from what I have seen there has been no other plan put forward that would accomplish anything.
Cutting taxes and deregulation didn't work for Bush, and won't work now. Taxes were cut, jobs were exported. South Carolina is one of the states hardest hit by jobs sent overseas, and currently has the dubious distinction of being one of the most unemployed states in the nation.
Ask Leader Mark what he intends to do about that and get back to us, somebody. He led S.C. into the Sea of Red Ink. Let him lead it out.

Have you really looked at what is in this joke of a bill???? Not many jobs are going to come out of this huge expenditure.
A hug portion of the money in the so-called stimulus will be leaving the country (there was no provision that money had to be spent with U.S. companies).
