Funny how they don’t seem to mention that the federal money comes with cables attached that will last LOOOOONG after the money is gone.
The state governments that accepted the “stimulus” are either desperate or run by fools.

It's not the strings attached that will do the damage. The federal money forces the short-term expansion of social subsidies that will bankrupt the state in the long-run.
Sanford is not alone in realizing that taking the $$$ will ultimately drive his state into depression. He is just the most likely GOP governor to have a real shot in 2012 (sorry all you Sarahitis sufferers). Hence the NYT's target on his back.
