Bush Decides Against New Aid Grants for States,
(Bush needs the tax money to fund Israel's $14 billion request for 2003--there is simply not enough to fund both the needs of Israel and the needs sof the states. Mr. Bush had to make a decision.)

Reuters, January 7, 2003
"President Bush has decided against offering grants to cash-strapped states as part of a $674 billion economic stimulus package he is to unveil on Tuesday, the White House said. The White House had been considering providing $10 billion to states to reduce budget woes but White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters that Bush had decided against it. 'The goal of the package is to stimulate the economy, not transfer money from one taxpayer-funded source in the government to another taxpayer-funded source in a different government,' Fleischer said."
