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'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.
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.
