If this provision does shove it down the throats of governors who are of higher integrity than the Democrats, then I'm sure they'll go ahead and take it. This is what you call an "unfunded mandate". It seems Obama wants to return to the pre-Clinton welfare state. On a related note, Jindal used to think very differently about unemployment insurance. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) noted today, "In the wake of a natural disaster after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005, then-Congressman Jindal cosponsored and supported legislation to expand unemployment benefits and inject federal dollars into Louisiana's unemployment trust fund. Yet today in the face of a financial disaster and record unemployment, he opposes similar action under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. What changed?" This, of course, is typical of the liberal lie. Don't present all the facts. As usual. Of course, when you had a natural disaster that destroyed all business in the region, you would want more unemployment money. Nothing wrong with that, if you're going to pay into the federal fund, that's what it is there for. This situation is entirely different. But you being an idiot, would not recognize that, would you?
