I always thought My Man Mitch was a smart guy. He balanced the budget, and made hard choices. He continues to push for balanced budgets and continues to move the state forward. Indiana is fiscally sound. But the current logic is that because Indiana has money, they need to give it to MI, and NY because they can't manage anything much less their money.
So I have to conclude that Mitch is an Idiot is the lesson. Spend as much as you can, while you can and if you get in big enough trouble the Federal government will violate the constitution and steal money from the citizens of some states and provide handouts to failed mismanaged states.
Following the logic that if the Auto companies take bail out money the Federal government can tell them how to run their business, with no experience actually running a business. The federal government must certainly believe it will have the right to tell States that accept money how to run their state. Haven't they always tried to do this in the past? Its the great power shift, that the States allowed the Federal government to assume a superior role to them, by accept money for roads and education it has a been a slippery slope to lost independence and full dependence on a totally incompetent organization like the Federal government.
Last, I wonder if anyone reads the Constitution anymore. All of this activity is totally illegal and we the People are going to have to step up and fight what is right, our rights.
