MO Senators Say “No Thanks” to Stimulus Money

Evidently, the fact that our country is in economic crisis hasn’t hit the Missouri General Assembly yet. Senators, on Wednesday, in the Senate Select Committee on Oversight of Federal Stimulus expressed the need to ignore or even send back the funds being offered to States by the U.S. Congress.

The arguments? Most said that this was “one time” money and should not be used for continuing projects. Evidently, many Missouri Senators plan on crashing our economy further into recession so that no further revenue will be collected even after the rest of the nation has begun recovery.

It makes sense really, Republicans have been so committed to destroying our economy for the past four years that they have stolen money from health providers and low-income Missourians and given it away in non-matched corporate welfare.

Never mind that the Federal Government is more than happy to match funds used for Medicaid 2-1.

What’s that sucking sound? California?…Massachusetts?
