Oh. Give. Me. A. Break.
Most if not all of these states are running severe deficits and are praying that the feds will throw them some dollars.
governors supported the stimulus because they don't want to see massive layoffs in their states. It's not like we're a poor country.
Here's a comparison of individual state economies to those of other countries. I think it's the whole tax cutting craze that has hurt many states: hello, states have to collect revenues to spend on public projects (roads, bridges, schools, safety net programs, etc.)

That used to be called taking care of the community. Do you want to live in a gated community with your own rentacops? Or do you want a community with police, fire, roads, public health services, etc?
Some days, I think you're a jackass.
