While the "Senate moderates" gutted the stimulus in the stimulus package while embracing Republican tax cut pork, in the country there is severe economic pain. The Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland expresses his frustration with the "Senate moderates":

Gov. Ted Strickland says the $827 billion stimulus package the Senate is expected to approve today would be "hugely harmful" to Ohio. Because the revamped measure reduces money for states, it now threatens Ohio with a tuition increase for 40 percent of public-college students, the loss of thousands of state- and local-government jobs, closure of two "medium-sized" prisons, and 50,000 fewer people receiving mental-health services, the governor said yesterday.

While embracing GOP tax cut pork, the "Senate moderates" are blocking real stimulus where it is needed. It is disgraceful

What is every indication? Obama's public pronouncements? Perhaps you have forgotten about this:

Before Emanuel arrived, Collins said, Democrats were advocating $63 billion in cuts. "Then Rahm got involved, and a much better proposal came forward," she said.

I suppose we have a choice. Choice one: Obama was fine with cutting state and local aid, even encouraging it behind the scenes, as recently as late last week, but had some kind of "come to Jesus" moment over the weekend and is a new man. Or, Choice two: Obama has the same ideas as last week, and is putting up a public front of wanting state aid even as he worked behind the scenes to scuttle it so that he can have it both ways. I'm not a big believer in "come to Jesus" moments, myself.

I went to sleep on the night of January 20, 2009 thinking we had a Democratic President and Congress. But I can't wake from this nightmare where the Republicans somehow took over. It's weird, because they look like Obama and the rest of the Congressional Democrats, but they're pushing for tax cuts, and gutting food stamps and needed aid to states, education, and mass transit.

State governments are major employers (5.00 / 6) (#5)
by Cream City on Wed Feb 11, 2009 at 09:54:34 AM EST

and often more so than even major corporations. So on that count alone, I don't see the sense in bailing out for-profits but looking the other way as the largest employers in state after state -- the states themselves -- are forced to do massive layoffs. In my state, much like Ohio, we were told last week to plan budget cuts of 10 percent, and our budgets already have been so stripped in recent years that about all that is left is layoffs.

We are struggling to find other means, but laying off even 5 percent of the employees in the largest employer in my state, the state, will mean even more cuts in service to the public, of course -- and at a time when public need for services is increasing.

with protection from or at least collective ability to protest and negotiate. In my state, though, the clerical and custodial staff have that protection -- and the only state employees denied collective bargaining by law are the teachers at state campuses. (Even their TAs aka grad students have a union, but the teachers cannot have one -- not one with any teeth, i.e., collective bargaining ability. This is unusual, though, and in states such as California, campus teachers are unionized.)

I've been following the California (and other) furloughs. Interesting to see the court uphold Arnold's right to order this but the resistance by many state agencies. Quite a showdown there, and significant as a potential pathway for other governors to follow, if he keeps winning his way.

That said, I'm stunned to read about the benefits that California gives its state employees, and I mean gives -- with little or often no contribution by them. No wonder the need for budget cuts.

P.S. UC employees are a special bunch as UC system is constitutional and the rest of education system and employees aren't. Non UC-employees definitely contribute to their retirement and medical plans and co-pays.

that help to understand what is happening there. The size of California and its state government -- and its university system -- mean that what happens there can have huge impact elsewhere.

I surely do hope that help is on the way somehow for the conscientious single mom. Been there, been scared by such scenarios myself. For one thing, for the sake of the kids and for themselves, she and other single parents I know here, men as well as women, really need the reinstatement in the stimulus bill not only of aid to the states but also of the extension of Medicaid to the unemployed. Seeing that all that is left is more funds for COBRA does not reassure me. From experience with it in my family, COBRA sucks.

With Senate approval in hand, Barack Obama's economic recovery program moved quickly Tuesday into late night negotiations in the Capitol with the president stepping forward to put his stamp on the package and defuse intra-party wrangling that might delay final passage.
Scaling the package back to the $790 billion to $800 billion range, with the goal of still generating 3.5 million jobs, is part of the discussions. To facilitate this, the administration appears open to reducing Obama's signature "Making Work Pay" tax break to $400 for individuals and $800 for couples--down from $500 and $1000 respectively.
House and Senate clerks worked through the night to craft a package within the new format which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D- Nev.) can take back to Republican moderates in the Senate Wednesday. This would set the stage for a formal meeting of House-Senate conferees announced for 3 p.m. Wednesday, which could then ratify any agreement reached and send it back to both houses for a final vote.
"Basically it is whatever Obama wants," said one House staffer. In the face of the continued market turmoil and troubled economy, action seems a first priority for the administration

by Jlvngstn on Wed Feb 11, 2009 at 10:22:17 AM EST

because too many large banks are insolvent. In 2007 Martin Wolf talked about the impending liquidity crisis and it rang true. Bush did nothing to address it and crippled our economy. The democrats did nothing last September when 850 bn would have had a dramatic effect on slowing down layoffs in order to pass it when O was in office (hedging their political bets).
Now it is too little too late and the liquidity crisis which has long been global is nearing 6 trillion dollars to reach "stability".
Quite simply, we waited too long. The hedging by the democrats has caused irreparable suffering of millions of Americans and they are now using the obstinance of the right to their political gain. The problem with that political play is we are too deep now and a 2 trillion dollar infusion today would last about 9 months as we simply do not have a growth industry to carry us as we had in the 90's.
More than 2 million people faced foreclosure in 2008, my guess is we will have 3.5 million this year. My vote is to let the banks fail and spend 450 bn on helping Americans who lost their jobs because the banks over-leveraged securities causing the financial crisis. I say this as one who has 22% of his portfolio in financial sector and of course will lose it.
If we let them fail we have a depression for a year. If we bail them out we have a prolonged recession. I think we lose more in the prolonged recession because we will continually address the same problems of foreclosure and bankruptcy for 5 years instead of 1-2.

That America has become so dog eat dog and we have swallowed that indoctrination of being SOOO competitive for so long that many Americans do not understand why we must help each other right now or we all sink. I'm not talking about helping CEO's either, I was never much for bailing out Wallstreet outside of what needed to be done to prevent total crash.....and then they still took us for a ride. We have to bail each other out though and 50% of us aren't considering this to be a good idea because in America we all must pull ourselves up by the bootstraps that don't exist anymore and haven't existed for quite some time.

Interesting, though, is that much talk about my gov going to DC or getting some other plum prize has turned out to mean nothing for him -- or for us.

and signs that the govs are organizing on this -- as we await word next week in his budget rollout as to the full impact. Would have been nice to know we have that $600 mil in the House bill, although only a small fraction of the state shortfall:

Madison - Workers who provide essential services in Wisconsin could lose their jobs if the federal economic stimulus package approved by the Senate doesn't include $25 billion for states to help pay their bills, Gov. Jim Doyle said Tuesday.
Doyle and many of his fellow governors are sounding alarms about the need for the funds for education and general-purpose state aid, which weren't in the version of the bill passed by the Senate on Tuesday. . . .
For Wisconsin, the difference between the two bills is about $600 million, Doyle said.
"It doesn't make much sense to be working to put operating engineers and laborers to work on the roads, which is a very, very good thing and we really want that to happen, when on the other end you're laying off health care workers and teachers," Doyle told reporters. . . .
Doyle said he and other governors have been appealing to senators who are sympathetic to restoring some of that support so states don't have to make deeper cuts to health care, police and fire protection, and education.
Facing a deficit of $5.7 billion through mid-2011, Wisconsin is one of 43 states with a budget shortfall this year, as the economic crisis led to a steep drop in state revenue. . . .
