Stimulatin' Stimulus

Some good things are in this upcoming bill, more money for education which is good news for the Commonwealth as diplomas are one of our biggest exports.
Apparently, health care subsidies will be offered to the unemployed as well so some of the sting will come out of the recession.
All this lifts burdens off the Commonwealth...but I'm wondering though, in the light of another billion dollars in cuts...maybe just maybe it's time we rethought the state's balanced budget rule, either as a temporary measure or a full repeal...d'ye think we are getting full value for those even-steven balance sheets in a recession?
Just sayin'....
