California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he would gladly take any stimulus money Republican governors are turning down.

From the Politico.

Fresh off a grueling budget battle in his state, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Saturday that if fellow Republican governors threatening to turn down stimulus funds follow through on their pledge, he’d be happy to have their share.

“Everyone has their own way of thinking,” Schwarzenegger said of those governors in an interview with POLITICO at the National Governors Association’s annual meeting. “I just hope they give me their funding.”

Schwarzenegger supports President Barack Obama’s $778 billion stimulus, but four Republican governors have said they may reject some of the stimulus funds.

The governor said he was “feeling good” after several late night sessions with California lawmakers trying to pass the budget. “I think everyone had to stay up late a little bit, but we were able to make it work,” he said.

That’s right, rather than save taxpayers some money, just dole it out to irresponsible governors like Schwarzenegger so they can waste even more money.
