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?

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'm from Missouri and all of my family is still there running small family farms and "ranches"*.

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 :-)

I suspect this fella also supports forced euthanasia for old and sick/disabled people, if they're poor... I didn't see anything about stopping free health care for illegal aliens...But I did see this though,,,

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 the legislative session that just ended, social services and mental health programs shrank, economic development funding was cut and higher-education spending dropped. Many programs, including education programs at three prisons and management of motor vehicle offices, will be taken over by private contractors or volunteers — or eliminated entirely.

And yet the 2006 budget is higher than the 2005 budget. Blunt isn't cutting government, he's just redirecting it.

Are you listening, Gov. Rick Perry and the Texas legislature? These RINOs just passed a 12% increase in spending for the next two years, in spite of the Texas economy being up on blocks like an old jalopy.
I wish Missouri every success so that other states see that nanny-state government can be reigned in if real conservatives are in power.
