Stimulus Money For States Comes With Strings Attached

. So far three governors have claimed they are not going to accept the stimulus money targeted for their states. We will see if when push comes to shove they are serious or if this is political posturing.

One member of the house basically said that opposition to the stimulus bill is racially motivated. He claimed that a governor not accepting the stimulus money was equivalent to a “slap in the face to African-Americans.”

But race isn’t the reason why some governors are leery about taking the money. There are legitimate concerns over the stimulus money. The stimulus money is not free, there are stipulations that must be agreed to in order to receive the money. And that is why many governors, even those who are going to accept the money, have concerns.

Different states have slightly different stipulations but the end results are all the same. Some states have to overhaul their welfare programs other states; unemployment. The bottom line is that social programs must be expanded if a state wants the money.The overhauls are to be PERMANENT! Once the money goes away the programs will need to be funded. Where do you think that money is going to come from? Why, us of course. Didn’t President Obama just say yesterday that he didn’t want to burden future generations with our debt? He is doing just that.

Rahm Emanuel once quipped about crisis, “never let a good crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

It appears that President Obama has taken those words to heart. He is using this crisis to expand entitlement programs and left wing agenda items and he is doing it on the backs of future generations. He is trampling on what is left of states rights by forcing them to expand their entitlement programs.

He is using this crisis to further an agenda that otherwise would not be acceptable to the American people. Rahm Emanuel is probably smiling. I am not.

Is this enough Gwester.
