State bailout

Five states seek a $1 trillion federal bailout, give me a break. Why can’t government do like the rest of us when times are tough and cut spending. While I suppose you wouldn’t want to piss off the government workers unions or all of the special interest groups. Why does the government fill the need to pay higher wages and provide better benefits than the private sector, could it be because it’s not their money they are spending its yours. If our government just did what it is supposed to do instead of thinking it has to provide for everybody’s every need we wouldn’t have revenue shortage. We have created a huge group of people who think it is the government job to provide for our every need, but that’s a huge problem for another day.
