Is a witch hunt going on here in South Carolina?

Alright, I am now on my soap box. It seems to me that there is a witch hunt going on here in South Carolina over Governor Mark Sanford not wanting to take the Federal stimulus money without being allowed to pay down some debt.

First off I have to say that I am not a Republican nor am I a Democrat. My views simply are logic and trust in what is right and not go with party affiliations. Most people who know me understand that I do not always agree with our Governor but this is one issue that I do.

The problem here is that the local media I have seen on TV would have you to believe that he wants to use the entire stimulus to pay down debt and worst take away from the school system. They simply are not giving the whole story. See for yourself just what Governor Mark Sanford would like to do with the stimulus.

He is simply asking for a quarter of that money to pay down debt which would in turn free up even more than the bailout would to begin with. Did I miss something here? Have all of the economic professionals said to pay down debt first in your personal lives to get your money back on track to the right direction?
