  The AP (Administration Press) article is just what you can expect from the liberal/progressive democrats. Spend, spend and spend some more. To them it's their philosophy that a big government can't spend enough to achieve social justice.

  Yep, if we have extra money, spend it on progressive programs and grow them. Then when the money is gone, claim we cannot cut them and lobby for tax increases.
  God forbid we should have a reserve fund. Just raise taxes some more.

  I would love to see the day where a state is fully prepared for a recession with 6 months 'living expenses'(in AZ case about $4b). The minute the Dems got control if would raided mercilessly, recession or no.

  Yeah, spending money on stuff like getting teachers back to work is so socialist. Our tax dollars are better spent on things like redistricting lawsuits, gun lockers for schools and tax breaks for those "job creators".

  And that big government the Liberals like so much like the birth control bill and sb1070.

  Yeah, those Libs are sooo dumb to want money spent to fix bridges, battle forest fires and even worse, helping children with medical conditions and feeding the poor. It is sick I say.

  I bet Jesus would have kept all his money to himself as well.

  Ha ha. Good one. Jesus would have VOLUNTARILY given all his money to the poor. Not teachers and firefighters....please don't bring him into this.

  I imagine I give more money to my church in one month that you give to any charity in a year. Also willing to bet my community service hours dwarf yours.

  Key word is voluntarily. You "kind hearted" libs are great spenders of other peoples money. Compassion is not defined by how much of other people's money you spend, or advocate spending.

  Jan Brewer isn't Jesus, ya'll? Smarter than the average cabbage headed liberal. SB1070 and other laws designed to remove the importation of uneducated poverty has resulted in less need for those teachers and for the social services they relied on. We are now starting to see the payoff for the austerity this conservative government has worked so hard for. So lets go spend it like a crazy fool for they take it all away? lol, way to go Jan. Please, don't expect our government to act like you think Jesus would have. Jesus had no business sense at all. Much like Obongo. Hey, maybe that is why they refer to him as the messiah. First the left wants to remove God from government then they want government to act like Jesus? I tell ya'll, liberalism is a mental disease.

  ah yes, i can see it now. the money will be placed in accounts. the accounts will be supervised by someone's lazy brother-in-law. the money will go to money heaven. no one will be held responsible.

  Yeah, those Libs do not pay taxes, own homes or work hard for their money. And that austerity of selling the AZ capital building to an Austrailian company, to balance the budget, then to rent them back really shows that awesome brain power of our beloved Jan Brewer.

  Not allowing same-sex marriage, defunding planned parenthood and the fact that Jan Brewer signed S.B. 1282 that provides no religious assembly or institution will be required to register as a political committee, in no way brings Jesus/God into the political discussion.

  Yeah, those Libs wanting the Repubs to practice what they preach is absurd. Everyone knows that Capitalism requires half truths to get ahead and churches are businesses.

  Liberalism is a metal disease, based on facts with the absence of God. Without imaginative control of the masses there would be no war on Christmas.
