Tennessee's Republican rulers plan to take medicaid away from underemployed parents that can't find full-time work.

Doing this will cost the state a substantial amount of money. It may be a net loss to the treasury -- but Republicans believe that kicking poor people while they are down is so important that it's worth every penny. Especially since they are taking this cost away from welfare benefits for poor people.

This is possible because of Bill Clinton's "welfare reform", which Liberals like me condemned. The effect was to teach me how right-wing some Democrats were. Since then, I have not voted for Democrats unless I could see they were Liberals (though the term "progressive" is now used).
