A Second Mathematical Postulate Coming from Arkansas State Government in Two Weeks—a government program that will save money!

The first postulate you may recall came from the mouth of Rep. Greg Leding who postulated that money taken from citizens by force by the federal government and redirected to welfare recipients was defined as part of GDP.

Close on the heels of Rep. Leding’s creation comes a second postulate from Bo Ryall, president of the corporate Arkansas Hospital Association, who stated that the introduction of ¼ million more deadbeats injected into the already burgeoning 870,000 recipients of Medicaid would save Arkansas money by letting the Feds pay for this outrageous deal proposed by Gov. Beebe, the Democrats, and the corporate hospital association, but only for the first three years. It should be noted that the federal government is already $17 TRILLION in debt…pay with what?

A report said that by expanding Medicaid it could save the state $664 million between 2014-2020.  I challenge Gov. Beebe, Bo Ryall, and any other Big Government enthusiast to present any government entity that ever saved money, most particularly Medicaid.

Moving along with this new mathematical postulate, Mr. Ryall opines that with the introduction of another ¼ million welfare deadbeats (legal & illegal) injected into Arkansas society will create between 8,500 & 11,500 new jobs, i.e. government positions.  I would suggest to Mr. Ryall, Gov. Beebe, and other proponents of forced redistribution to take the mean between 8,500 & 11,500 and multiply by $75,000 (avg. government yrly salary) of the aforementioned individuals (expansion of state government paid for by taxpayers), how much of that so-called $664 million savings is left? First, the money for the new jobs is funded by taxpayers, and then they are taxed again by having to subsidize the expansion.

In addition to this faux bloviating by corporate Arkansas & the state government, here comes the copout introduced by the POI (Party of Irrelevance) to show cause why Arkansas producers should pony up more hard earned tax dollars to be dumped into the Never-Never Land—that by a “Consultant” at the rate of $55,000 per month to tell Arkansas lawmakers how to introduce more theft.  Understand that the consultant wallowed in the government trough for decades and that’s his credentials—no friend to the producing citizens, nor is the state legislature.
Do Arkansas legislators ever discuss the big conundrum?  Will the welfare throngs have their hands out in perpetuity? Do the legislators ever discuss between themselves putting an end to their destructive and criminal behavior? Or do they say let the next bunch worry about it? And finally…

Senator Joyce Elliot is playing around with the Right of Eminent Domain, and no good can come from this woman’s meddling with that Right.
