Where does it end? I saw this story on Drudge linking to Reuters (see article here).

The Democrat governors of the spend-happy states of New York (David Patterson), New Jersey (Jon Corzine), Massachusetts (Deval Patrick), Ohio (Ted Strickland), and Wisconsin (James Doyle, Jr.) all propose that the government provide ONE TRILLION dollars in "aid" to these states due to tax revenue shortfalls and their inability to meet their commitments. Now correct me if I'm wrong, what's wrong with the government slashing its own pork off of its fat ass??
