The blue state budgets are going to explode big time because of Medicaid. In these states, there will be a real battle between the teachers unions and the Medicaid interests. Most state budgets consist of the 3 Ps: pupils, patients, and prisoners. Watch for an epic fight at the state level between these interests.
Raising taxes won’t work because productive citizens will flee. My guess is that blue states will call for nationalization of prisons, education, and health care.
Yep. This is why Obama is pushing the red states so hard to expand Medicaid.
In 3 years it will be clearly seen that blue state budgets are failing and red state budgets are prospering. Why? Because red states didn't take on the burden of Medicaid.
Obama doesn't want that to happen. He wants all states to fail together.
