Man, I Wish I Had a Billion Dollar Credit Limit or, that I was employed by a public works contractor.

 

The Minnesota Senate overwhelmingly passed a $1.1 billion state borrowing bill today, setting the stage for fast-track negotiations between the Senate, the House, and Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

So much for being in a transportation crisis. Most of the money went to municipal and higher ed welfare.

Once again, the tax and spend liberals prove that they think that somehow if the Government just gets a little bigger, and spends a lot more, it can save the world. Of course they refuse to admit why we are in or headed towards a recession. That is high energy prices and the looming debt of all the tax revenue required to pay for the government spending, binding payments, and deficits.

Next stop for the contractors and bureaucrats looking for free money for their pet projects? The MN House will take up the bill Wednesday or Thursday to add their own pet projects.
