Its a short term fix to a long term problem. When the $3 billion is gone, the state will still be broke and the mismanagement will still continue. The problem is the reckless manner in which Indiana (and Michigan, too) spend money and run up huge bills on projects that they have no idea how to pay for.

Only a complete moron would view this type of situation as a good thing for this country. Any time we send money out of the US, it weakens our economy here at home. They should have never gotten the Chicago Skyway, either.
