The blame is already on the Democrats. Democrats get "food stamps." Democrats get Medicaid. Democrats get disability. Democrats commit crime and go to prison in extraordinary numbers.

Democrats are black!

The State House just proposed and passed a budget essentially ending Medicaid, virtually putting all the budget shortfall in Medicaid funding cuts amounting to almost $500 million in lost funding including Federal match. The State Senate rejected this when the governor said, "Don't even think about it!" (definite veto), and pointed out what it would do financially to healthcare service providers and facilities all over Alabama. Even worse crisis!

This is what the voting majority of the people wanted.

This is government so small you can drown it in the bathtub.

Elections and voting really do matter.
