And if they did pass another stimulus then Bachmann would be there again with her hand out. As she would with a third or a fourth. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.
I’ve explained it numerous times. She would not want another stimulus. She wants Minnesota money to stay in Minnesota, not to be confiscated by the federal government and then — maybe — handed back to Minnesotans at the pleasure of he feds. But, once the confiscation takes place and there’s nothing she can do about it, what possible point is there in standing on “principle,” and not trying to get it back to its rightful owners? To do otherwise is to say, “Well, alright. Take Minnesota’s money and redistribute it somewhere else.” That is not principled, it is stupid.
