what an a**hole!
Of course I'm talking about Rick Perry.
Slick Rick rejects medicaid expansion money but sticks the federal contribution in the Texas budget plan anyway to hide his deficits. Really, our state government is such a joke. I despair sometimes.

"Eight days after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate and ruled that the federal government cannot penalize states that refuse to expand Medicaid, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) announced that he would not open the program to more applicants. But while he was making a public show of turning down federal funds, Perry was using the additional dollars in state budget projections."

Thank you!
My mom used to say that Texas was about 20 years or so behind California. 
Right? I just hope I can live to see it.
I think I may have to revise my mom's numbers to 30 years behind California, but I still have hope that Texas has a brighter future. I hope I live to see it too.
I'm beginning to think Texas is a few centuries behind human evolution.
