—When Matt Blunt balanced the state budget by cutting spending three years ago, while almost every other state was bleeding red ink, he was run through the mill by the P.D. for that. Let’s see how they portray this bit of news in the next few days. Should be “revealing”.

Oh come on dr-debunk… Nixon will be made the hero, you know that, same as I do.

While I’m all for cutting state spending Nixon is cutting spending or placing a hold on it… including projects funded by federal stimulus funds.

What’s up with that? The One means that money to be spent…

Isn’t it amazing that when a democrat blows up the political world that these message boards are empty? No party hacks writing supportive explanations of this budget mess? Wow!
The blogs are EMPTY this morning! Can’t we blame Blunt or Ashcroft for this shortfall? And Political Fix is covering show dogs better than the state budget!

Governor Nixon is cutting the funds for a China Wal-Mart “hub” at Lambert Airport.

That’s slightly different than cutting 120,000 Missouri children from Medicaid.

Jay is a piker.

This was the same amount TheTelePrompterJesus ordered his cabinet to cut.
