It figures, once their debts are paid off, cities and states will be too broke to bribe congressmen.

They should be using what money they still have to bribe congressmen. The ROI should be more than enough to cover their debts!

I hate articles like this that conflate the Fed with the government. TARP had nothing to do with the Fed. And yes, it's fucked up, but it actually kind of makes sense for the Fed not to bail out the states. Congress should do that, and those buttmonkeys won't since they're busy measuring their budget-cutting dicks and strutting for the cameras and don't actually have a plan for how to try to fix anything.
