Virginia is facing a budget shortfall and Tim Kaine wants to spend more - to cover illegals! It doesn't compute.

Richmond ping.

Hold on to your wallets.... Governor Gridlock is at it again.

[iceskater]

He’s a Dem.... it doesn’t have to compute. It’s for the children, doncha know?!

[xcamel]

The more the pols demand coverage, the more expensive it will get for everone else. They are indeed clueless.

[brothers4thID]

Grrrrrr That’s it, I’m moving to Texas.

Dear Guv,

When you donate 100% of your assets to cover "the poor", then I'll consider accepting a slight increase in my taxes. Until then. F.O.

Gov. Tim Kaine yesterday announced a plan to expand health care coverage to thousands of uninsured, low-income Virginians as the state faces a projected $641 million budget shortfall.

"People, we're out of money. Let's spend some more!"

[albie]

Just doing his part in keeping this once red then purple now blue state blue. Also, don’t forget the chillen. Illegal, legal, black or brown, the chillen can’t hep it.

[Brilliant]

The VA Dems are committing suicide.

Grrrrrr That’s it, I’m moving to Texas.

LOL, and you don't think Texas is not paying free medical for every illegals that walks across the border. Why do you think they can no longer afford their own highway system, besides the corruption of the TDOT.

I guess now the cops are going to start writing thousand dollar tickets for having tires on your car.

And how does he propose to fund it? Most likely with another increase on cigarette taxes. Why not, O’Malley and Minner just did it in Maryland and Delaware.

[iceskater]

He’s been very coy about how he’s going to fund it. We’ll find out next week when he submits the budget to the GA. My guess is increased taxes on gasoline, cigarettes, real estate transfers, car licenses and registration, repeal the car tax relief.

[iceskater]

There’s a big brou-ha-ha going on around here about the extra $1 on annual vehicle license. That was tacked on to pay for Jamestown 2007. Tommy Norment wants to keep it going to pay for other stuff. Never mind the fact that the reason for the tax is now over. Since there are several million (at least) cars registered in Virginia that’s not a trivial amount. Norment was questioned about it on WRVA and basically said “It’s just a dollar, what’s the big deal?”

The fact is, it isn’t his dollar. It’s my dollar he confiscated from my wallet.

The VA Dems are committing suicide.

But not quickly enough!

He's a stupid, pandering Democrat. It is really not a surprise.

[iceskater]

Go here to sign a petition to ask for your Jamestown 2007 Dollar back from Mr. Norment.

Just what we DON'T need.

Accomack coutny just sent out the new property reassessments. Our place went from $39,000 to $94,000. I'm not looking forward to my June property tax bill.

[AppyPappy]

There is no way he can raise that much money like that. He will have to raise income and sales taxes to pay for a monster program like health care.
