Idaho gets $1.28 back from the feds for every $1 they send off in taxes.

Dumbasses.

Isn't it hilarious that the reddest states are the ones getting the most from the government? Unbelievable.

This is really dumb. This will serve as a warning to the rest of the nation and the people who voted these dumb fucks in office.

Or maybe it's just pandering to the base and it won't really be nullified. They can say look we tried but those damn big government liberals. O_o

The sad part is people will suffer and may redirect their frustration at the wrong target. Welcome to Tea Party Nation!

Not to mention the family members and friends of those 223,198 people who actually give a shit about their well-being.

Oh, right, I forgot. Real Americans don't give a shit about the well-being of others.

If they drop Medicaid I hope every one of the people it covers rushes immediately to emergency rooms, and hospitals have to go to the state for the monies they can't recover from the poor. Maybe then the state might see what a good deal they have.

And add in days of work lost, larger unemployment roles, etc.

Me too! Its unfortunate, but sometimes you have to let the stupid happens so people understand that doing stupid things has consequences. I just hope this doesn't become like the Arizona transplant debacle.
