The line between the States and the Fed continue to dissolve. Why do we have individual States again?

This is a great article about the States who have their hands out for a bailout from the federal government.

Pay close attention to all the figures about how much various States have increased their budgets in the last several years.  Mind you, these years of excess were under the Bush Presidency that supposedly was so horrible on the economy.  How did these States come upon so much prosperity, hmm?

It's important to remember the proper role of the Federal Government here.  Remember, the Federal Government does not create any money.  It only takes money away from taxpapers who reside in the various States.  So, if the Federal Government "gives" (and I use the term GIVE very loosely here) money back to the States, they are essentially giving money back to the States (the people) who gave it to them in the first place.

This is in direct line with the redistributionist philosophies of the Obama White House, the Pelosi House, and the Reid Senate.

STEP #1) Take money from the productive members of society.

STEP #2) Redistribute said money to people who are unproductive; i.e. the States, social services, welfare, etc.

STEP #3) Repeat.

How to balance the budget? Increase the number of abortions.

You've been warned about this thinking coming from the Democrat party, and here it is straight from the lips of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

In these tough economic times, the way to reduce the cost of government is to reduce the number of people by way of increased abortions.

This is the way they justify money in the ill-advised "stimulus" package.  It will help the bottom line because there will be less people being born who will cost money.

Nice, Madam Speaker.  Real nice.

Don't say you weren't warned about this.  Democrats will talk out both sides of their mouth on this issue until their blue in the face.  In the end, they want your tax dollars to fund abortions simply to reduce the financial burden on the federal budget.

Folks, ask yourself this question: Why is there ANY money in the federal budget going to anything related to abortion, whether pro or against?  This is a state issue, at best, and the federal government should be silent on it.

Let this be a lesson: Don't over pay your taxes.

The state of California announced today that it will begin delaying tax refunds starting February 1st because the state is out of money.

Sorry Californians.  I hope you didn't over pay.

Never mind the fact that you shouldn't give the government extra money and then feel happy when they give it back without interest at the end of the year.

Question: Doesn't it seem like the states that are in the most trouble right now are run by liberal spenders?

Blago impeached; wastes reporters time with bogus press conference.

Illinois Governor Blagojevich was impeached today by the Illinois House 115-1.  No surprise there.

What was a surprise was the lengthy and quite bogus press conference he held shortly afterwards.

I just watched the whole thing on Fox News, and it made me want to puke.  What an arrogant fool.  Instead of answering questions related to the actual impeachment or his shady "pay to play" schemes, he went on and on... and on and on about all his accomplishments as Governor and how the Illinois House has been out to get him since his reelection in 2006.

Whatever, Governor.  Whatever.  Consider this situation unresolved and continuing.
