If Arnold ask Bush* for help, and gets it, won't other States demand the
same treatment? I have seen several threads referring to Arnold getting help from Bush...who did not want to help Davis or other states before. Won't this stick out like a sore thumb?
...he will most likely get it. The fact is Bush* needs CA is 2004, so now he is going to have swoon the wonderful state to make up for all the disasterous shit he has pulled on the state since stealing office.
Of course if Bush* gives things to CA then the rest of the country is going to demand the same, but Bush* will most likely only work on those states he truly needs to pull in for next years election.
8. The US government still owes Wisconsin a bundle...
...along with a lot of other states.
As far as I know, they still haven't paid out a lot of the matching funds and grants they are bound to by legislation. I think I remember our Governor Doyle saying it was nearly a billion dollars (or in that neighborhood) that Wisconsin was still waiting on.
If Bush gives a handout to California and not the other states who are still owed money, I guarantee you will see a lot of anger from other governors (whatever that's worth).
In case anyone missed it, the Fed is bankrupt and Bush is having trouble getting another 87 billion for Iraq (Which will add to the 500 billion deficit already there). Bush simply does not have the power to just hand over money.
About 35 other states in the union are either in deficit, or have cut their programs dramatically.
