Do we really need another big use of taxpayer dollars?  Patty Murray and Christine Gregoire are now begging for federal dollars from the new piggy bank, President-elect Obama.  Where do they think these dollars come from?  The tooth fairy?

No more bailouts.  The car companies can recreate themselves as something much smaller, and the unions can pitch in to cut their lucrative contracts.  Maybe they can start by not requiring the car companies to pay those who have been laid off.  What a scam.

This spending has to stop.  It isn't stimulus if we borrow trillions or print dollars.  Why not propose a tax cut on businesses, so they can keep the money they earn?  How about Gregoire rolls back part of the $8 billion she added to the state budget over the last four years?

I don't expect common sense to prevail.  The Democrats are in power.
