Well I just found this thread so I am a bit behind. So there is a question I would like to see asked in one of these conferences. It should go something like this.
"Governor, you have said it is bad practice to borrow money to pay for running expenses, that it is bad for the state, and that is why you would not borrow money to do that.
Governor, do you realize that when you ask the Federal government to give you money, that's where they are going to get it from. That they are going to borrow it!"
