I’m seriously considering checking out SC soon before the snow starts here, gotta make sure my car is in tip-top shape for the 12 hour drive. Unless I find another job that won’t start me for under 12 bucks an hour which is doubtful.

Really, l-fucking-l oh l. Every political post you make is pro-left, and pro-left NY just fucked you. In my best Nelson voice, HA-HA.

You know what NY’s biggest cost item is? Medicaid. It’s 40% of our budget. You know who stops us from cutting Medicaid every year, despite NY paying as much as than the next two highest cost Medicaid states combined? Sheldon Silver and his democrat controlled Assembly.
