Iowa may absorb $3M cost of cutting Planned Parenthood funds

Ugh

Iowa Republicans may order the state to foot the bill for a new family planning program that excludes funding for Planned Parenthood.

Key GOP lawmakers confirmed Monday they plan to use state money to fund the estimated $3 million program, which requires Iowa to forfeit millions in federal Medicaid dollars.

Such a move would tap the Iowa Department of Human Services to pay for the program amid separate budget cuts, raising criticism from Democrats that the GOP plan is short-sighted.

1. "Absorb"

That's a polite way of saying "screwing the taxpayers".

2. so how much have these assholes pissed away this year?

"tax revenues behind projections" well sure after you cut the fuck out of taxes for the rich and businesses
whoops a second warning on tax revenues

bailing out the "medicaid modernization" which was working extremely well before Branny touched it.

Fucking over the schools, hosing the universities etc

Just my opinion but I smell the stench of corruption
