The Fuckery of Wingnut Governors

First up: Rick Scott, governor of Florida. His plan is to do quarterly drug tests on state employees. Guess who will do the drug tests? Some company named "Solatic", which is apparently owned largely by Rick Scott and/or his wife. Now supposedly Scott is unloading his shares of Solantic, which means that he is giving a nice little gift to the people who paid extremely good money for his stock.

Next up: Chopper Chris Christie of New Jersey. Since it costs so bloody much to buy jet fuel for Secaucus Fat's helicopter fleet (not to mention his tax cut for his rich buddies), Chopper Chris came up with the idea of sharply limiting eligibility for Medicaid. For a family of four, eligibility would end if they made over $103 a week, or $5,317 a year.

That's going to piss off Wal-Mart big time, since a good chunk of Wal-Mart's business plan is to push the costs of employing people for minimum wage onto the states.
