I just read an article criticizing South Carolina Governor Sanford for saying that he will reject some of President Obama's stimulus money. I can't say I am a fan or opposer of the Governor because I haven't followed him very closely but I have to say I am impressed that he would put himself in the spotlight of criticism to stand up for this. The way I understand the way the bills are written, it is putting permanent line items in our budget but only offering temporary money. This IS definitely something to think long and hard about because our budgets are already stretched.
I appreciate the Governor thinking of our long-term interests. It seems we will be paying for enough of this stimulus until we die anyway.
"The name of the game is staying true to the principles that got you into politics in the first place and letting the chips fall where they may." Governor Sanford
Call me about the 10% or $8,000 home buyers incentive money available only for purchases in 2009.
