South Carolina’s governor — Mark Sanford — is challenging the Washington pork bill known as the stimulus package
“A problem that was created by building up of too much debt will not be solved with yet more debt,” the gov said Sunday on CNN. “We’re moving precipitously close to what I would call a savior-based economy” something “you see in Russia or Venezuela or Zimbabwe or places like that where it matters not how good your product is to the consumer but what your political connection is to those in power.”
“A lot of people who’ve made some very stupid decisions are being bailed out by the population at large,” he added.
Unfortunately, the end of the interview is problematic. He, too, may be tempted by federal dollars in the end. Senators Specter and Collins jumped ship and voted to pass the monstrosity.
