So four of the 33 states
that can't pay unemployment benefits because they are bankrupt have joined the lawsuit suing the Health Care Bill. Now I didn't look very far..they may be a lot more of the 33, but KY, LA, MI, AND VA can't pay unemployment benefits, but they want to pay for a lawsuit to sue the government.

Now folks if I was from one of those states I would be looking in to forming an organization to recall my governor, wouldn't you.

1. This is the most stupid lawsuit ever...
States can opt out, right? This will end up costing those states a hell of a lot of money they don't have.

2. it should be noted that even though a state "can't pay" unemployment, they get paid by the feds
the states are required to pay it back but benefits don't go unpaid.

3. Add AZ to your list.
Our Democratic AG won't take it up, so our wonderful Republican Governor, Jan Brewer, will attempt a lawsuit on her own.

6. The Governor in Michigan is directing the AG to investigate himself for joining the lawsuit....
..... This didn't come from Jennifer Granholm. Mike Cox is a rogue agent.
