American Recovery and Investment Act (Stimulus) is designed to hlp all of the country, I thought. Now can you really believe that a lot of states with republican governors are going to turn down the money from the stimulus act. Isn’t that a crock? Lots of them have said they don’t like it and the strings attached to the American Recovery and Investment Act.
IMO and from what I’ve heard or seen is they really don’t like is the Buy American provision of the stimulus pkg. Now it seems to me that this American Recovery and Investment Act is designed to help the American economy. Considering it’s the republicans who got us where we are now you’d think they’d want to see America getting stronger and our economy getting stronger.
However if that’s what you think you’d be wrong. Evidently they want to buy Japanese steel because it’s cheaper than American steel. They also want to buy other things from foreign nations because those things are cheaper. However it is the American Recovery and Investment Act, not the Japan, China, India or German investment act. If you are trying to get America back on track it makes good sense to Buy American. The republicans who say they will probably reject the money are a hindrance to our economic recovery and one could even say they are Un American and unpatriotic.
I find it really interesting they’d rather help other countries economies rather than investing in ours. Just what the hell is the republican agenda? It sure as hell isn’t a stronger, safer America or they’d be more than happy to get their states education, infrastructure and health care up to world standards. This is about as unpatriotic as it gets.
Seems to me the republicans are acting like spoiled children who didn’t get what they wanted so they aren’t going to take anything. My way or no way. I know two year olds like that but I really thought politicians were more adult than that. Evidently this is one of those rare times when a long held opinion is wrong. Actually I think it’s political suicide but hey, what do I know?
It’s going to be hilarious if these republican governors don’t accept the money. ROTF, it will be a good thing because the people of their states will probably elect a Democrat for governor in the next race. Go ahead, dumb ass republican governors, turn down the federal money meant to get us out of this recession and see if you get elected again. I dare ya. Hell, I double dog dare ya. It will be a good thing if they don’t take it then we can get rid of all the dumb ass unpatriotic republican governors.
Lol, I have a tendency to agree with Gov. Arnold (The Terminator) Schwarzenegger. He said “If the other governors don’t want the money just send it to Calif and we’ll take it.” Struck me funny that the only man among them who can’t be President is more than willing to do his part.
Just makes the others look even dumber, for depriving their citizens of the things the money could do, for political reasons. Good luck getting reelected. That’s about the worst political strategy I can imagine. Shooting ones self in the foot isn’t fun but the republicans are about to do it many times. All I can say is it’s going to be fun to watch. Hopefully they won’t kill what’s left of the economy during their suicidal republican death throes.
[...] course it all goes along with what the republicans allow and you can see what I think of the republican agenda as someoone else stated it so [...]
