As Chairman of the Senate Health & Human Services Committee, Senator Nelson is urging lawmakers to carefully consider the federal strings attached to the federal stimulus package, especially those dealing with entitlements.
In an op-ed published by Texas Republic News, she points out that Texas is one of few states with positive cash flow. "We will meet our responsibility this session to those who depend on state government for their health and well-being -- with or without the stimulus," she said. If we accept the entire stimulus, "Taxpayers will have to live with this decision for years to come. Make no mistake about it -- there is no such thing as a temporary entitlement."
