Killing government with starvation
Do you know what ALEC is? Well you should. The American Legislative Exchange Council is the body that actually gets laws passed in this country at the behest of business owners willing to pay for that service. Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones, R-Eureka (top left) is an ALEC poster boy. Click the link for more on ALEC’s Missouri operations.
We’re living in a golden era for conservatives. The federal government is spending at the lowest level since the Eisenhower Administration. Vets can’t get an appointment at the VA but that’s o.k. because we’re being “fiscally responsible.” At the state level things are much worse. Take Missouri for instance. The governor tried to veto a bill that radically cut taxes to the point where it would cripple basic services. But state lawmakers won out in the end. What kind of revenue loss are we talking about? Try $620 million. So if you’re a public employee in Missouri and you were hoping for a raise you can probably forget about it.
