Reply #4: And yet they LOVE government money for themselves

[ladym55]

A grand total of these fine Republican Representatives turned down their publicly funded health insurance ... that terrible thing they don't want any of the rest of us to have.

They LOVE public money to fund their stadiums and building projects ... as long as they get all the profits and the people's money is used for all the risks. That's the way it's been in Ohio for years.

They are happy to have public jobs for themselves and their buddies. The new governor of Ohio in his efforts to "save money" hired his buddies for $$$$ because you have to "pay for talent." Teachers, firefighters, and other public employees are all on notice that their gravy train is over, however. Bunch of lazy bums! :sarcasm:

Ohio and Wisconsin jumped immediately to dump high-speed rail after the election. I forget how many jobs and how many millions of dollars Kasich and Walker cost their vulnerable states before they even took the "oath" of office. But not to worry ... Kasich didn't want the press at his swearing in ... didn't want reporters "seeing what people were eating." And, hey, he only spent $607,000 of the $1.6 million he collected from his corporate pals to fund his inauguration.

See all these fine Rethuglicans and Tea Partiers LOVE money ... for themselves ... and love using public money ... for their personal profit.

And it is all very, very short-sighted. As JK pointed out in the speech to the Center for American Progress the media "forgot" to cover, we desperately NEED to use public money to invest in our infrastructure.
