I can only hope that list for Tulsa isn't really getting any of the money.

What a crock.

[we vs us]

So we should refuse the stimulus money, right?  Just like the governors of South Carolina and Texas did, right?

Oh wait.

I like the $99k for doorbells or the $1.5 to coax hookers to quit.

Great stuff.

Honestly?   Yes, we should refuse the stimulus money.

You're going to have to explain that to me.

"We are going to spend $500,000,000,000.  If you would like part of that money raise your hand.  If you do not want part of that money we will proportionate it out to other parties who do raise their hand.  All parties, if they take the money or not, will be required to repay their portion of the money."

Explain that one to me.

Oklahomans are going to be paying the original debt and the interest on this money.  Tulsans will be paying just the same.  What good would it to do refuse the money?

If you are pretending like you are standing on principle because you don't agree with the spending package, it simply doesn't make sense.  To punish those damn blue states that voted this package in Oklahoma will refuse the money and give them more... then help them pay off the debt that only benefited them.  Surely an act that would cause them to be very troubled.

I just hate the people pushing the low water dams.

Anything to punish those people.

[cannon_fodder]

Wow.  Baby and the bath water huh?  Rather than let them have their low water dams, you'd really rather see Tulsa pay for something else for some other city AND forgo whatever other benefits the package might have for Tulsa?   That's pretty spiteful.  

Do me a favor, if you have it in your power please abstain from costing Tulsa $500,000,000 and just blow up the dams at a later time.

Well at least he can still refuse his tax rebate if he is getting one.  I wonder how many conservative Oklahomans will refuse any tax rebates they get so that our country wont have to borrow as much? Na, they will probably keep it and buy oil from the Middle East or electronics from China. Those economies are having a hard time too ya know.

But yes, if there is any money going to be spent, would rather it be local so our economy can compete better. Its going to need to do better to help pay for the debt lol. But who knows, perhaps those other cities would spend the money more wisely and make more money on our share than we would?
