Looks like the Tea Party are going to find out if their policies work in Texas.
Pretty radical stuff, no increase in revenue and a 25% cut in the State budget, I suggest all Americans keep an eye on Texas
• Spending cuts to public schools, already among the nation’s most poorly funded, could mean some 100,000 teacher layoffs, pre-K programs decimated and schools closed
• Huge cuts to Medicaid could push an estimated 60,000 senior citizens out of their nursing homes.
Bill Hobby, the former lieutenant governor, was marveling at the extremes to which the Texas Republicans have gone. “There’s an evil mutant gene in the Republican Party,” Hobby said. “I don’t know if there’s any cure for it. I guess you can only hope the disease runs its course before it kills the patient.”
