Can’t they use dynamic scoring to say the $279M deficit is actually a surplus. I mean the Laffer curve says its got to be true, and Laffer wouldn’t lie to us.

> OThe GOP cleverly stigmatizes social services as being for THOSE PEOPLE. This tactic is more effective where people are more likely to blame victims.

Good point. Living in Georgia, I have personally seen and experienced the entrenched racism of my fellow Georgians, and I’m not even black. “The niggers are taking over” I was told about two decades ago by a lobbyist for a supposedly enlightened urban group. I think one problem liberals have is that they don’t KNOW how thick the racism still is here in the south.
