The GOP agenda here in AZ and across the US is to reduce the size of government. One of the best ways to do that is to cut back on how much money states take from the Federal Government that obligates the states to give a shit about the least amongst us (usually in the form of Medicaid, Planned Parenthood, etc).
The 6 month organ transplant moratorium that Gov. Brewer imposed was really a hostage taking situation. Unfortunately, some of the hostages died as a result. Now that there’s blood in the water, the GOP sharks are circling ready to strike. The GOP is so eager they can taste it. Look at Paul Ryan’s federal budget plan. The seas will run if he has his way and others think it’s not tough enough (like Rand Paul). The question is, when are we going to stop throwing out the chum that attracts these predators in the first place?
