In her annual State of the State address, Brewer acknowledged the pragmatism behind her decision, saying she agreed to go with the expansion in order to receive the program's funds and create jobs for the people of Arizona.

Someone is lying, federal funds never, ever, ever, never create jobs.

If Obamacare is inevitable, they may as well lie back and enjoy it.

You gonna get Medicaid.

TimonC346: I'm pretty sure their stance against it was about posturing way more than actual feelings. As has been said a million times in a fark thread: this party was entirely in on this idea until the black guy agreed with them.

overplaying their hand has pretty much been the strategy of the republican party since the 90's

She believes the expansion will give aid to those on the lowest rung of the state's economic ladder and will also provide assistance to hospitals and caregivers whose work has previously gone unpaid.

"And that makes me so angry!" she added.

It liver how EVERY republicans governor asked for stimulus funds. If it was going to create zero jobs like they kept saying why did they ask for the money? Why did they help Obama "throw tax dollars away".

The fact is that the expansion makes an enormous amount of sense -- financially and morally -- for the States.

Governors rejecting the expansion are doing it either to boost themselves politically or because they hate the president more than they love their fellow citizens.

No no no - see when you're talking budget numbers cutting spending will not cost any jobs - when you're taking the money it creates jobs but only in your state - - - all those other states just waste it, but you.... you have the magic in you.

Ahh, yes.....the derp bravado was so nice while it lasted, but at some point they realized that there is no more poop to come out and they have to wipe their conservative butts.
