I do not support the whole concept of spending our way out of economic problems. However, once the decision is made in Washington to spend a set amount of money I expect my Governor (Sanford R-SC) to do everything in his power to see that the money is spent for the best possible benefit for the people of our state. I'm sure the people of Alaska expect the same from Gov. Palin.

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

“It seems a shame,” the Walrus said,
“To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!”

I see that we're being eaten alive. My point is that once an appropriation battle is lost in Washington the front in the war of fiscal conservatism moves to a more local level. Saying public money should have never been spent does not relive one of the responsibility to fight for it being spent in the most prudent manner possible.
