#1 So this is normal, fiscally prudent behavior. Good for them, if more difficult for the people who were expecting more government help.

I'm going to respectfully disagree here, although the lack of available money is a factor. I am simply wondering how many of those programs would have been suspended if they were in CA, MA, or NY. If programs in those states had been at risk, you would have seen Congress tripping all over itself to find the money somewhere.

#3 None. I'd say get in line. We are from the government and we are here to help.

Greensburg waited nearly 3 years to get a hospital built; construction started. Joplin had a big box conversion into a school in a matter of months, shows what waiting around for fed assistance is.
