Oh joy! Utah is getting $4 billion of the "stimulus package" handouts. It is part of all that free money being generated magically in Washington these days and is being greeted as if it were a great blessing.
Doesn't anyone there have any common sense?
The process was best described by a man who said: "Getting money from government is like having a blood transfusion from one of your arms to the other — with the tube passing through Washington, where there is a large leak."
Getting $4 billion from Washington equals several times that much we will pay in future taxes and inflation, which will be stolen from our savings and any other assets we have.
