The only differences between this new spending and the fiscal stimulus enacted last February are that this money would be unrestricted in its use, and, depending on the legislative language, it could be a permanent subsidy to these 17 States rather than a one-time stimulus. That is an absurd conclusion. The fed subsidy formula is made more equitable and that may result in more $$ going to these states...so instead of saying that the states, who are all in a state of severe budget deficit, don't have to come up with this extra money, he says that they can spend the "extra dollars" they don't have elsewhere. Ridiculous and partisan at its best. Al
