Nice article

A much better idea would be put steel-building Detroit in line to get a slice of the $300 billion the natural gas pipeline will cost. They'd still have to work and do the work right, but the city would get the jobs it needs with sticking US taxpayers with loans they may never be repaid.
The same for the rest of the Rust Belt. The Republicans should campaign on setting up job training so laid-off worker from the Belt could do what's no doubt going to be high-paying work. And the money they earn could jump start new businesses and new careers.
Who better to set this up than the person who got the pipeline rolling--Sarah Palin.

They do seem to be missing, haven't seen " of " or the Tenn troll for a few posts. Maybe Daily Kos needed a few more loonies to dig some dirt on Palin?
On the article, I agree mostly with Michael's first comment, don't lend them anything. If they can't make it without government help, they shouldn't make it at all. If we have to lend them something, and it seems to be the current theme, Pubbies as well as the usual leftists, then make it unpleasant.
