This piece is really getting a lot of attention today. Lots of people are talking about it, which surprised me because I thought nobody watched 60 minutes.
This is why Gov. Sanford wanted to turn down stimulus dollars. He knew, eventually, these cuts had to happen. He wanted to change the system in 2008 but couldn't (for reasons political and, obviously, personal) but this is the real tragedy of the stimulus. We spent 1.3 trillion and didn't CHANGE one damn thing. So we spent the money and now the cuts still have to happen.
What a tremendous waste and, truly, missed opportunity.

ReplyDeleteNot only that, Obama and the Dems laid more costly programs and regulations on us.
Hope and change.
