Breathtaking hatred…

Well…if you have been following the news lately, you’ve seen how the idiot repub governors across this country have basically abandoned the poor by refusing the medicaid expansion that the feds would pay for from savings that are contained int he ACA…but the idiot governor of Georgia has gone over the edge on his hatred….it’s bad enough that 4 rural Georgia hospitals have already closed due to un-reimbursed emergency care that would have been covered by the Medicaid expansion…but now, this idiot is showing his true colors and the true colors of most of the right. Nathan Deal, the governor, has proposed that the federal law, proposed and signed by
saint Ronnie, that requires hospitals to care for the uninsured be repealed…meaning that any hospital would be required by the threat of bankruptcy to not care for anyone who is not insured since they would never see a dime for that care….and would allow the sick to be turned away to die…the Ayn Randian winner takes all philosophy that treats the poor as disposable since they are the “takers” from society and have nothing to contribute. I am not really stunned or even surprised at this from the right these days…shame on you Deal…and your cronies in Georgia…geez…

Some funny stuff…

Well…I don’t know if you’ve heard or not, but Georgia has recently passed on of the toughest anti-immigrant laws in the country that basically allows them to stop and arrest anyone that looks hispanic…that may be a little bit of hyperbole…I do that sometimes, as you know, and the wonderful rule of unintended consequences kicked in to bite them in the ass. What has happened is that all of the illegals that the farmers exploited to get their harvests in have fled the state, leaving them with no one to do the low paid, backbreaking work that Americans won’t do, leaving this years harvest rotting in the fields and costing the farming business there millions. I am just laughing my ass off since this completely dispels the tired old repub notion that the illegals are taking the jobs of American citizens….and shows these neanderthals what pandering the the fringe of their party without thinking about the consequences will do….now…I don’t support the idea of people being rewarded for breaking the law and coming here illegally, but couldn’t we do something like a documented guest worker program that would allow people to come and do those jobs? Just a thought….
