In reply to the discussion: Sen. Josh Hawley is a winner! 🏆 [View all]BlueHurricane
(51 posts)40. I don't feel bad for Hawley, I feel bad for Missourians
Hawley voted last year to cut FEMA funding so I call BS he wants FEMA. This reminds me he keeps saying they shouldnt cut Medicaid.
The voters expanded Medicaid a few years ago in Missouri via a constitutional amendment and that means if federal funds are cut to Medicaid then the state will be on the hook to make up the difference.
Repubs in Missouri recently got rid of the Capital Gains state tax which obviously helps wealthier folks. Repubs next goal is to remove the state income tax. They dont seem to care about their people, they care about being able to push through their regressive tax cuts.
I watch how Repubs vote not what they say since those things dont always agree.

FAFO will prefer red states since they are most of taker states, a term they use erroneously to deride blue states. nt

Hope Democrats are approaching him on FEMA and Medicaid cuts, rather than just calling him a POS.
