NJ has been a mess for decades. This present governor was in the right place at the right time. Just the beginning of the fall out from the obama/pelosi/reid administration.

Maybe Steinhauer, he should just spend, spend, spend, spend, spend and borrow, borrow, borrow borrow and spend some more. Then all will be well.

Obama hasn't borrowed any money...Bush borrowed 863 billion.  The only actual spending so far has been money that Bush didn't get to.  Health care will have its costs, but it will also save people and the money in the long run.  Think of it like the highway system, you need to spend money to get return.

Stein check your facts, Bush was responsible for TARP and the war debt but Obama has to be responsible for the stimulus, omnibus, GM, AIG, Fannie and Freddie, Goldman Sachs, extended unemployment for who knows how long, and now he wants to bail out Greece and the teachers.

He isn't bailing out teachers, he is bailing out school districts who can't afford to educate their children because they fell below their tax expectations and weren't able to cut other things.

Unemployment went from 4.8 to 8 under Bush, 8-9 in the first 4 months of Obama (hard to call that his fault) and 9-9.6 under Obama.  New jobs are coming for the 1st time in 4 years under Obama and it was Bush who borrowed 800 billion for stimulus.    It was something that was debated heavily during the election because Obama voted for the stimulus that Bush proposed.

Obama Administration Makes Emergency Funding Request for Teachers
By Stephen Clark
- FOXNews.com

Despite President Obama's pledge for honest budgeting and billions of dollars in stimulus money spent to save teachers' jobs, the Education Department is asking for off-the-books emergency funding to keep local districts from laying off school teachers next school year.

President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan stand with 35-year-old Johnston High School teacher Sarah Brown Wessling of Iowa, the 2010 National Teacher of the Year, during an event in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Thursday, April 29, 2010. (AP)
Despite President Obama's pledge for honest budgeting and billions of dollars in stimulus money spent to save teachers' jobs, the Education Department is asking for off-the-books emergency funding to keep local districts from laying off school teachers next school year.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan sent Democratic lawmakers a request Thursday to pass a $26 billion emergency supplemental to fund up to 300,000 teachers' jobs that he says will otherwise be lost in the fall.

Administration officials want to add the teacher funding to a $60 billion supplemental request sent to Congress to pay for ongoing military operations in Afghanistan as well as Haiti relief and money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed that measure on Thursday but Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, has said he is reluctant to load the bill with additional spending goodies.

The request comes just a year after an unprecedented $100 billion in federal stimulus money was allocated to school districts as part of the $863 billion recovery act. Of that amount, $48 billion was designated for saving teachers' jobs and investing in educational programs. Another $31 billion in stimulus funds were sent to states for Pell grants, competitive funds and programs helping disadvantaged students.

An additional $21 billion in stimulus money is still available but not yet obligated for district expenses, according to the U.S. Education Department.

Economic Stimulus
Updated: March 18, 2010

Overview

An economic stimulus is an effort by the goverment to pump money into an ailing economy, whether through spending, tax cuts or interest rate reductions. By replacing money not being spent by businesses or consumers, a stimulus is meant to put a floor under a recession and pave the way for a return to growth. In most circumstances, economists consider interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve to be the most effective form of stimulus. But when the economy continued to sink in late 2008 even after the Fed cut rates to practically zero, pressure grew for a fiscal intervention, that is, action by Congress.

Even before taking office, President Obama began work on a stimulus package. On Feb. 11, 2009, Congress gave final approval to a $787 billion bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The bill had been bitterly resisted by Republicans — none voted for the measure in the House and only three did in the Senate. Conservative protestors regularly cited the bill's pricetag as a sign that the Obama administration was running up unaffordable debt and was devoted to big government

By S.A. Miller and David R. Sands

The first major spending bill of the new Obama administration came stuffed with some old-fashioned pork as a $410 billion omnibus bill covering a slew of federal agencies won final approval Tuesday in the Senate.
The bill to fund the government through the remainder of the fiscal year now goes to President Obama, just a day before a temporary spending law was due to expire. The clash over pork projects and spending levels foreshadowed the battle ahead for Mr. Obama's $3.55 trillion budget for 2010. Stein if you're going to be a cheerleader for Obama and company you had better learn what your idols are doing to our economy first.[color=red][/color]
