The Republican (of course) governors of South Carolina Mississippi and Louisiana
Mark Sanford, Hayley Barbour and Bobby Jindal all came out recently and said that they wouldn't take the portion of the Fed's Stimulus Package that had to do with extending Unemployment Benefits (A portion that really amts to about 1% of the overall pkg)
Wow ... these States must be really doing very well right?
So let's take a look at these three great places to live now shall we?
Unemployment
South Carolina comes in third with 8.2%
Mississippi 7.2%
Percentage of College graduates
Mississippi dead last
with South Carolina and Louisiana following close behind
with Just Kentucky in between
Infant Mortality
Louisiana and Mississippi win this one with a TIE for first
South Carolina has the Fourth highest mortality rate
Hmmm .... This then must be them there Governor's Mansions

A handful of Republican governors are considering turning down some money from the federal stimulus package, a move opponents say puts conservative ideology ahead of the needs of constituents struggling with record foreclosures and soaring unemployment.
