Barbour wants to hold Mississippi back - by prohibiting positive changes in literacy, education, health care, --and economic growth. The population of many of Mississippi towns is decreasing. Why would folks want to stay or move back? Good schools with strong community involvement and good health care -- could infuse the economy by keeping or bringing in new teachers and doctors and nurses (jobs) -- and energized communities. The Republican strategy of supporting only rich corporations does not create a stable economy. Business cannot thrive without citizens,-- communities of healthy and happy families. That's what the stimulus package has supported in Mississippi -- working class families. Governor Barbour should thank President Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765254784941176688.post-30308541982797154152009-07-27T14:47:44.771-05:002009-07-27T14:47:44.771-05:00Bobby Jindal seems to be an even bigger "ingr...Bobby Jindal seems to be an even bigger "ingrate".

If they get too self-congratulatory on the credit side then they risk an equally sized helping of scorn. It is all in the measure.<br /><br />But, short of the stimulus, I never hear anyone on your side of the aisle, from McCoy on down, articulate exactly what they would do here at the state level to bridge our budget shortfalls. <br /><br />You seem to be a man with many opinions.

I'm totally in favor of the stimulus, and would likely support a second one if needed. My point was that Gov. Barbour and State Sen. Nunnelee attack the stimulus, but are not shy about taking credit for the programs they will fund with the money.Jim Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414789047570011778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765254784941176688.post-80604482532787989312009-07-27T11:04:18.042-05:002009-07-27T11:04:18.042-05:00How would you have bridged the budget shortfalls J...How would you have bridged the budget shortfalls Jim without the stimulus?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
