"President Obama is asking for $50 Billion to distribute to state and local governments to avoid public-sector employee layoffs. (And for 'public-sector employees', you can read 'SEIU and Teacher's Unions'.)
The GOP is sure to oppose it, but may not be able to stop a concerted Democratic push.

Bailing out the states (especially California) is going to take a lot more than a piddling $50 billion, of course.
The first tranche is simply to establish precedent."
