A Picture Is Worth 2

Pa. Republican Governor Corbett's limo drives over Medicaid recipient.  Voice from inside says,

This applies not just to Pennsylvania’s Corbett, but to most Republican governors. Their equation is simple:

    Most poors are black (that’s not true, natch, but it’s what they and their racist base believe), and Medicaid helps the poors, therefore it helps the blacks, and we can’t have that, now, can we?

It’s the politics of hate, because hate sells.

    Corbett’s plan was just to turn Medicaid health care for the poor into a punitive workfare program with checks and rules that made it easy to eject people. I had a statistic, see if I can dig it up fast. Yeah, here — one requirement, to use a state website and send out “72 job applications/6 months,” “20 hours of work a week..” http://dickdestiny.com/blog1/?p=17064
    It’s the GOP prescription for food stamps recipients, that’s all. It was not at all popular when he and his assistants took it on the road. They had to get an OK from the federal government to do it and, as yet, it has not been granted. The only silver lining is he will be eliminated politically, for good, in the next vote.
    He has family roots in my hometown. So he’s certainly of the world view I departed. I have hatred for people like him. They have taken their various animuses to a national level and made it personal.
