JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Gov. Matt Blunt on Friday signed Missouri's $22.4 billion operating budget -- or at least most of it.

The new state budget is to take effect Tuesday. It includes spending increases for public schools, college scholarships and medical providers who treat low-income patients.

In fact, the budget increases state spending at a greater rate than its expected revenue growth. The state is able to do that by tapping into money left over from previous years.

Will you be directly affected by any budget changes this year?

Maybe tell people if the budget is balanced. How many years of a balanced budget, and majority controlled by, who? I know, do you?

He still didn't cut the social services budget enough. We still have too many people eligible for medicare that will just choose that path rather than be responsible for their own healthcare.

Yeah, Blunt budgets help the poor.

He granted, after much lobbying, a 2% increase in state money for medical providers who treat low-income patients.

Of course, inflation is running at, oh what is it now under the Republicans, about 10%? Well, even the official number is 4 to 5% now.

But he increased spending 25% on rural cattle farming welfare handouts to all his hick rural friends!

Blunt - what a great guy! I'm sure he will go down in Missouri history as one of the best and most loved!

Well, we all know what kind of people still like this guy, don't we, hmmmm?
