So This is What He Meant by "Buy Indiana"

Apparently the whole state is for sale, provided you aren't from Indiana. News from Indianapolis is that the Medicaid and welfare administration is for lease, the price tag is expected to be around $1 billion. Now I'm sure we all remember Gov Gump campaigned on the idea of "Buy Indiana." So how's that going you ask? With this contract the state will so far have funneled $1.5 billion in state contracts to out of state companies, all tax-payer funded. And we still have his fiasco idea of leasing the toll roads to come.

$1.5 billion in state contracts being pumped back into the Indiana economy would help offset the cost of these contracts, but $1.5 billion going out of state doesn't help anybody. Maybe some day people like Brian Howey will notice. I won't hold my breath waiting for it.
