Dangle It, and They Will Cave

All the federal government needs to do is dangle “free” cash for long enough, and eventually, states, even those who vowed not to accept more cash, will cave in. Los Times:
Mr. Sanford joined several other governors who had initially expressed hesitation about the money but later relented, including Dave Heineman of Nebraska and Sonny Perdue of Georgia, both Republicans, and Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat.
Way to have some integrity. If you’re going to run your political ideology in such a way as to shun federal funds because of a small government socio-political philosophy, it’s best to actually avoid eating from the fucking federal trough.
