YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME
Apparently, it's not just New York State (or California) that's seeking bail-out money.
No, no.
Seems that Greenwich, Connecticut wants its part of a $700 billion "economic stimulus package." (H/T The Cunning Realist). Greenwich, for those of you not in the know, is one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, with a per capita income of nearly $75,000. As of 2000, it was, in fact, the richest town of more than 50,000 people in the country.
Included in its proposal for its piece of the $700 billion is a "list of $38.4 million in 'shovel-ready' projects that officials said includes everything from road repaving and drainage improvements to bridge repairs and the construction of a new town animal shelter."
Shovel, huh? You ain't kidding.

we're so fucked
But for some reason no one wants to face this obvious fact.
It's not just Greenwich. All of the towns in my state (or at least Fairfield County) are jockeying for a piece of the pie. I think part of it comes from the fact that our governor has been sounding the alarm about a massive budget shortfall. So, these towns and cities are looking for other sources and the Fed gov't looks ripe for the plundering.
Oh, I don't blame any individual, company, or municipality for lining up at the trough.
I blame the Feds for picking our pockets and offering our swag without asking.
