How is this about race? What about unfunded mandates that would lead us to having higher state taxes or property taxes? In order to shave costs of the plan they're forcing states through Medicare/Medicaid to cough up cash they simply don't have. I'm pulling this statistic from memory but Medicaid is funded 57% by the federal government and has been an unfunded mandate on the states. States simply can't afford anymore of these unfunded mandates without having higher taxes.

Why can't a governor look at his state books and say his state can't afford such a program without being labeled a racist? How do you propose paying for these unfunded mandates people? Should Texas institute a $10 subscription fee to porn sites in order to help pay for it? You guys support that? I swear some of you people think high taxes and printing money isn't going to have any consequences at all.
