All posts in the topic President Pawlenty would rather slash health care than take Federal money (Short link)

This is outrageous!

   The state is facing an enormous budget deficit.

   Instead of asking for Federal aid, President Timmy is pandering to the
right-wing base. Pawlenty is kneeling at the feet of Grover Norquist, hoping
for a Papal blessing.

   The state is facing a huge budget deficit. Governors of both parties are
asking for Federal help.

   During a bad recession state and local budget cuts make the recession
deeper. The Federal government can run countercyclical budger deficits during a
recession. States can't.

   Here is a Star Tribune story: "Pawlenty cool to stimulus proposals"
