In real words they mean TO SUSTAIN THE PROGRAMS THAT TAKE CARE OF THE ILLEGAL ALIENS EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT AND FOOD STAMPS. SC Government is too big. Schools have too many administrators. Contracts given to questionable projects with predictable failure rates...all costly and wasteful. People will hopefully get invovled in politics and run for the seats of these politicians who keep doing the same insane things. Vote out 75% of all incumbents. Clean house. Wipe the floor with the dirty bastards.

If SC didn't get the $$ then another state would have and the people would still have to pay..... When it comes to the Federal Gov we are all responsible.... So much for Obama and his job creation. When he was ellected he said he was going to create millions of jobs.... So far his policies have tanked.... Obama wants a weaker dollar.... Increase the deficit.... He really doesn't care if he gets re-elected..... He just wants to make a name for himself.... Every "Czar" he has appointed has a corrupt history 2010 will tell another story People have had enough Quit giving Sanford credit…. If SC didn’t get the $$ then another state would have and the people would still have to pay…..

Considering the boiler plated socialism/scandal du jour/titty talk nonsense on this site, I’ll mark this down as undistilled irony at its finest. Well, couldn't agree more that we all took it in the ass from Wall Street and Obama hasn't deviated one inch from the previous administration on that matter, but that wasn't the point. As the market slumped, you could predict with mathematical certainty a post about the loss of confidence in the market caused by the new administration. At that time, the market was the barometer for economic progress. Now not so much. What changed? Predictable and inane?

DDSN has cut rates and services to families who desperately needed teh services to keep their loved ones at home. They have changed program to cut those services not provided by the local DSN Board, assuring the Boards' monopoly. DDSN and HHS have actually increased by 70% the rate that will be paid for respite in institutions and cut out the option of providing respite in the home, which cost less than 1/3 of the institutional costs. Many parents will lose their jobs come Jan. 1 when these cuts are put into effect - all the while the stimulus funds paid to DDSN are being returned to the Budget and Control Board in violation of the Clyburn Amendment.

Why are the states acting like children bowing down to the federalist Washington like it's there Daddy. The States rule, not Washington, the states made the U.S., the U.S. did not make the states. We are not going to be able to save the U.S., lets focus on SC, and getting people in office who understands SC has more power than the federalist.

If I thought the DOW and unemployed were more closely tied together, I'd cheer at the Wall St. folks doing better. I don't think those two go hand in glove as cleanly as they used to.
