Ask AP: Stimulus Money Refused, US Base Opposed
If that doesn't happen, the money goes back to the Treasury Department, where — depending on how you interpret the government's heavily out-of-balance balance sheets — it'll be spent on other programs or it will slightly reduce the huge federal deficit.
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is considering refusing $700 million in education money, saying he prefers to use the money to pay down state debt. If that money doesn't get spent, it could get distributed to other states. It's important to remember in all this that governors control only a fraction of the $787 billion in stimulus money. Washington spends the rest through existing programs. Matt Apuzzo Associated Press Writer Washington ___ I have a savings account that I had to open with my father because of my age at the time.

After all, they took my money, not his.- Loading Comments...
