I'm damn glad NC took the money. State employees have already been
told that we wouldn't have gotten a pay check last month if it weren't
for the stimulus package (even though those of us, still with a job,
were subject to pay cuts and forced furloughs).

****ing borrowed money down the drain on state "employees" is not economic
stimulus. It's simply exacerbating (for those in Maryland, that is not a
sexual term) the problem that already existed.

It's certainly stimulus if those folks would otherwise be out of work
and out of money to spend.
