Sanford to put some meat on his ideas. I recommend he put South Carolina on the gold standard-Let's quit pretending our U.S. dollar is worth a dam as Begala and buddies print trillions of dollars out of thin air and pretend they are geniuses for doing so. Let's make a stand now before it is too late. Let's not allow our children to be in debt all their lives to a wasteful out of control bullying, bankrupt federal government. Let's legalize marijuana and tax the hell out of it and balance our own books - and pay all state employees in gold and allow all businesses to accept and trade in gold coins. Let's scare the hell out of the federal establishment and force them to quit debasing our currency and balance their budget. If someone has any better ideas let's hear them. It is time for Gov. Sanford to put some meat on his ideas.

By the way. Go look at the brand new Obama Administration propoganda site, http://www.recovery.gov, and check out the timeline for the so-called "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act." It scrolls out past the year 2100! Apparently that is how long it will take for our children's children's children to pay off the (non) stimulus package. Side note: Mike Huckabee rightly calls the Stimulus Package the Congressional Relief Action Plan - check out the pithy video at Were it that we could get rational and thoughtful political analysis and commentary – such as Joshua’s – into the mainstream media…

It's entirely possible that Sanford and Jindal (and Perry of TX, and others) could decide that it would cost us more as a state to implement some policy changes than the money itself, and turn down those individual provisions while accepting those things we have "no choice" but to accept. Remember - this is the result of a badly worded, hastily written, 1100 page bill that the White House itself doesn't entirely understand. It's internally inconsistent, which we should expect from the nincompoops in the House & Senate Dem caucuses. In short: don't expect one short answer to this - it's too complicated for that. something to consider – what the folks in the Gov’s office (in SC and in LA from what I’m hearing today) are trying to figure out is which hoops would we have to jump through to get what streams of money?

Likewise, their savings accounts and all future paychecks should be annually increased from the federal treasury to match the coming inflationary increases in the Consumer Price Index. These provisions will also apply to all future generations of South Carolinians. Begala should at least be challenged on the negative impacts of this onerous bill.
