More money, more problems

摘要

Mark sanford, the Republican governor of South Carolina, is a strict fiscal disciplinarian. When Washington announced its economic stimulus plans last year, he opposed the whole idea. At the time his state's unemployment rate was among the highest in the nation, and in December the fund that doles out unemployment benefits ran out of money. As the months went on South Carolina's situation only worsened and Mr Sanford accepted bits of federal money here and there, complaining all the while. And in June the South Carolina Supreme Court ordered him to request the unemployment money.
