75 billion goes to the States - Repuke talking point

[rufus dog]

So Graham and all of the other Repub mouth pieces have the daily talking point that 75 billion goes to the States and that isn't stimulus.

Tweety doesn't say a word. But how can a Repub, the supposed defenders of States Rights, argue that 75 billion going back to States, where the people live who pay the taxes, be a non stimulus. Do States paying teachers, police, fireman, fixing roads, etc, not constitute a stimulus?

1. It's all about business

In their minds if the money doesn't create jobs in the private sector, it isn't a stimulus. The End.

They're idiots. That's all there is to it.

2. i can tell you the Crist here in FL WANTS the stimulus badly.

4. Great point

I have seen Mayor Villaraigosa from LA on but not one Republican Mayor or Gov. Strange, could the media be suppressing Republican dissent?

6. We need to keep the University functioning; things look bleak

We got a scary memo yesterday about what might happen when the legislature meets in March.

3. Isn't that good? Many states are facing budget shortfalls.

Especially California and Florida.

5. Is it good for the State and the people?

Hell yes, I live in CA and things could get ugly. But Republicans will screw the people to win a battle.

7. We are the UNITED STATES of America. Not red states, not blue states.

We are the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THere is no USA with out STATES. There are no congress people or senators without STATES.

8. Republican = Worse Than Useless

Had enough "bipartisanship" yet, folks?

9. My bigger complaint is the media framing

If these jerks were called on the inconsistencies they would be less likely to come on a spout B.S.

13. You're right rufus dog, except when you point them out you don't get invited back.

You know, liberal media and all.

10. What a load. I'm working on a document at my state employer

to show exactly how what we stand to get (housing money) will stimulate our state economy. We can create over 1000 jobs with just a small part of it. Idiots.

11. It's called "federal revenue sharing" -and its been a staple of economic policy

in tough times not only in America- but in similarly organized countries abroad (like Canada and Australia) for many, many years.

Until Bush, that is.

12. Uh, I live in a state

and right now our state is really hurting.
