Bailouts for a favored group of political supporters, using borrowed Chinese cash? <br /><br />Sic 'em, wolfpack. <br /><br />Not to mention, smart states don't have as much need for the bailout cash, and they also have better bond ratings, so they can borrow cheap if needed. It's the profligate states that are in most trouble, and we know who they are, and why. <br /><br /><br /><br />Obama blew it. He passed out the Porkulus sugar, and once the sugar buzz wore off, the layoffs started at the state and local level, right in time for his reelection. And the suicidal package of Bailouts, Porkulus, Cap & Tax and ObamaCare were obviously destined to bring about the tsunami that would end his induced sugar jag, leaving him naked at the worst possible time. This has to be the dumbest exhibition of politics I've ever seen. <br /><br />This guy is just a political neophyte. He understands little, policy or politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
