If she thinks that state legislatures can just repeal this later then she hasn't been paying attention. Governments never remove programs, they only get bigger. I applaude these govenors. If you don't stand on your principles then you are no better that an AIG employee or Barney Frank/Chris Dodd.]]>

The Fed is Terrified
