Scott Walker: I rejected Medicaid health care funds because I ‘love the taxpayers’

[C0RYH0FFMAN]

23. Even if we pretend that Scott Walker is sincere...

It just means he doesn't understand the nature of the United States Treasury.

Look, let's pretend for a second that Republicans and Conservatives are acting in good faith when they deny federal funds because they think they Federal Government is on its way to insolvency, that such deals will mean higher taxes in the future and that taxes are immoral, etc. etc.

We have all heard these sentiments from Conservatives before.

The bottom line is, if Governor Walker believes this, it is even worse IMHO than if he's not really sincere. Look, the Federal Government, having the Power of the Purse, can always and forever provide State Government's funds for Medicaid. To think that the Federal Government will go broke or somehow be unable able to keep this promise is patently false.

It's like saying the Cleveland Browns will somehow be unable to give you tickets they've promised you. They are the creator of Cleveland Browns Tickets!

There is literally no such thing as "putting the taxpayers at risk" States have entered into a bargain with the Federal Government to pay for Medicaid.

Scott Walker's answer should have been, "Because I erroneously think the only entity in the world from which all U.S. dollars come from might run out of dollars".
