A governor doing exactly what he was elected to do? Can you believe that?
Maybe those in the Senate in Washington D.C. can learn a thing or two from this article?
You know more Missouri folk on here than I do bump.
hope he runs for pres at some point. bump.
If he keeps doing this, exactly what he said he would do, I can see him running. But we get to keep him for two terms as governor before the country gets him.
He has a lot of work to undo from one term Bob.
I live in Kansas City, Missouri. Up until now there has been no accountablity or means testing in the Medicare program. I think it is a step in the right direction.
It's funny, on the immigration threads, there are scores of comments about immigrants turning the U.S.A into Mexico, but this is surely modeled after Mexico City, and few will even complain.
“Missouri is a laboratory,” Dunham said. “If Missouri gets away with these cuts, it will be a sign of what the public everywhere will accept.”
Let's hope so, and let's hope that the Show-Me State can show something to the folks in DC - like ending socialism in America.
For Those non-Missourians, Governor Blunt is a Navy officer and was our Secretary of State before becoming Governor. He is only 34 years old so it is very likely he will be president some day.
I think this great news and it gives me hope that there may be something to go back to someday.
* "ranches" in Missouri are not like Ranches in Texas :-)
And insurance companies will no longer have to worry that complaints about their underwriting practices or refusal to pay claims will be available to the public.
He's all for big business robbing the general public and getting away with it...This guy doesn't represent American people...He represents multi-national corporations...Very big money...I'm all for smaller gov't but this person clearly has no conscience...
In 15 years he'll be eligible
It takes a really despicable person to levy that kind of attack just because their national socialism dream is being dealt a setback.
I don't think I'm dispicable, but who knows???
A 'little bit of socialism' is what makes this country great...I suspect this governor didn't say a word about the Fed gov't cutting back socialist spending of our dollars in Mexico, or 'Palestine'...Or 3 billion to Egypt every year or 15 billion to Africa...
He wants to make sure the owners and investers of the power companies get their 'maximum' benefit...He doesn't want to just get rid of the free-loaders on Medicaid, he's going after ALL the very poor and poor disabled...
So when you heard this good news, you had an ear to ear grin with dollar signs in your eye sockets???
I'm a conservative and I know we can afford to take care of the destitute Americans...We give hundreds of billions of dollars to everyone in the world, including our enemies...We can certainly afford to have some charity at home...
I live in KC too. The paper here is crying so loud I can hear it if I open my window. The socialists are squirming like slugs wearing a salt coat.
It's a great to be a Missourian.
"I'm a conservative and I know we can afford to take care of the destitute Americans."
But should we? That is what charities are for, not my tax dollars. I should not be forced to "take care" of anyone but my family. No conservative I know would have uttered that sentence.
"Up until now there has been no accountablity or means testing in the Medicare program. I think it is a step in the right direction."
and yet the local media spins it against blunt
What you mean is, you don't want to give your own money to help the poor (private charity, very efficient) but you want the government to take other peoples' money to help them (govt charity, very inefficient). Conservatives give their own money to organizations they deem worthy -- liberals try to take everybody's money and give it to the government.
You don't care about charity, just socialism.
In one year he will be eligible.
The constitution calls for a natural-born citizen at least 35 years old.
Very encouraging article. Sometimes elections do make a difference!
I didn't know the minimum age to run for President was 50, dude. If that had been the case, we would've been spared the rapist (at least until 1997). ;-)
