described as a still for the republican lawmakers in attendance meanwhile yesterday virginia governor terry mcauliffe a democrat told radio in d.c. that it was quote time to put partisan ideology aside and let us be able to bring back our taxpayer money so mcauliffe argument is the argument that i've been making for two years or however long it's been on this program which is the citizens of virginia the citizens of mississippi the citizens of you know fill in the blank they paid federal taxes the federal government taxes over a billion dollars in texas taxes went to d.c. d.c. is saying here's your billion dollars back and rick perry saying no send it to california we're not going to give it to work number one and number two in order to qualify for the medicaid expansion you can't be really really poor if you're really really poor in other words if you're lazy shiftless not working whatever actually using these horrible story of types the fact the matter is most people who are really really poor are disabled or elderly or you know but and already covered by medicaid that's my point you're already cov
