He is for multinational big money corporations like BP who is was a paid lobyist for and for big investment wall street banks who he was a paid lobyist also for. Brad Elsworth knows what the middleclass and poor are and has not been corrupted by Washington special interest like Mr. Dan has. We need jobs and the Government needs to be creating them like FDR did in the 1930s. Roads need to be fixed, schools need to be repaired and nursing homes enlarged. Untill we have jobs we need to give the unemployed help and now. Coats is just mean. Dan Coats is not going to represent the middleclass or poor as he has forgotten what they are.

By abruptly cutting off of the HIP program, he causes headaches for Indiana gov administrators and the hurts the people affected by that program. This is obviously a move to make the reform of health care hurt people so he blame his opponents for it. I'm an independent voter; but Daniel's actions are typical Republican politics. Goes hand in hand with Republicans sending someone from Carmel IN to our area to run against Hill. Keep up the great work! Daniels actions are a clear case of politics coming before the people.

Daniels reaction to Congress passing Health Care reform is typical. Daniels was against the bailouts of the banks and automotive industry, and stimulus monies for the States, but yet he accepted them. When Washington gave our State millions of dollars for education programs, he took that money and put it towards the State's budget deficit, and claimed that he balanced the budget. We know that the money that the State received from the 75 year lease of the Toll Roads was invested in Junk Bonds, and risky investments, however we can not get an account of how much of that money was lost in the market. Governor Daniels is an expert at playing the Shell Game with our tax dollars. He complains against any program that our party creates to help our country move forward, and then profits from those programs by taking the money to cover up his mismanagement of our State. By him canceling the HIP Program, is another way for him to cut much needed services to our low income families, needy children, and Hoosiers with disabilities. Most likely he will take that funding that was designated for HIP, and put it towards more risky investments. Daniels claims that he was a successful businessman, and claims that government needs to ran like a business. However, if he is using the same methods to run our State Government that he used to run his companies, I doubt that he was that successful in business. Before Daniels came back to Indiana to run for Governor, he Secretary of the Office of Budget and Management (OMB), under President George W. Bush. As Secretary, he approved of the Federal bailouts of World Com and Enron. There are things that we can learn from business like how to be more efficient in our spending, and maximizing our material and human resources. Where I disagree with the idea of running government like a business, is that government is not out to make a profit! Government, unlike business, does not serve exclusive demographic groups. For example, Apple gears it's advertising for it's IPod to persons aged 15 to say 35 years old. Government is in the business to serve all of it's people, not certain segments of the population. Now critics might say that aid to needy families, or the elderly is an example of government serving a particular segment of the population. I argue that these programs and services were created to help these groups, however, one day we or members of our family, and friends, may need these services to get back on our feet. God willing one day we will all get to reach old age, and may need Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Governor Daniels leadership is abysmal, and I guarantee that our next Governor will have the same challenges that President Obama faces, after 8 years of President Bush.

The ISTA has determined that legislating permission to shift available cash funds to school General Fund accounts would just about completely cover this shortfall over the next two years. Please write about what the Indiana Democratic Party is doing to fight for teachers' rights while keeping in mind the best interests of the children of Indiana.

When a door closes, a window is frequently opened. More importantly, Chrysler and GM are not Indiana state's treasurer concern. Managing the investments of the state of Indiana is.
