Great Column by Tom Humphrey...Republicans luv that "free" Federal Money

He is absolutely correct. Republicans talk about fiscal austerity but in many cases their solution is to replace state money with "free" money from the feds because it doesn't "cost" anything....BULL FEATHERS!

The same family budget that is the source of State taxes is also the source of Federal taxes...it is NOT FREE!!

What we have here is a mixed message. Our politicians, particularly the Republicans now running the state show, roundly denounce federal deficit spending while happily handing out federal checks to hometown folks.
