Jobs Plan splits leaders of strapped states
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-jobs-plan-splits-leaders-strapped-states-070319398.htmlA state-by-state breakdown of the president's plan shows that Florida could receive more than $7.5 billion for schools, roads and other projects. That money would come into a state with a 10.7 percent unemployment rate and one of the nation's highest home foreclosure rates. But Scott spokesman Brian Burgess left open the possibility that the Florida governor could reject money under Obama's latest plan, especially if it added to the federal debt.
Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is running for president, dismissed Obama's proposal as wasteful spending and argued that budget cuts were the only way to help the economy.
"President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity," Perry said.

Interesting info about Florida. I'm sure it's a mess there, but Obama needs to win there in 2012 right behind Ohio and Pennsylvania.

I can't imagine that Obama won't win Florida with everything Rick Scott is doing to drag them down.
You can't spend to prosperity? You certainly can't save to prosperity.
That would be like getting a paycheck and not spending any of it at all. Money isn't much good if it isn't spent.
