Fuck Politics
I emailed my state assemblyman asking him to oppose the governor’s proposed budget cuts, which would hurt poor families, etc., as such cuts always do.
He emailed me back and said that — of course, since the Gov. is Dem and he is GOP — he, too, is concerned about the governor’s plan, and has an alternate proposal for eliminating “irresponsible” spending.
It includes $600 million in cuts to Medicaid and eliminating Medicaid translation services (even though they only cost a rather paltry by government standards $10 million).
Suddenly, I’m feeling the urge to smash things. And/or have a stiff drink.
