My earlier post related the shenanigans of the Republicans in DC. Now our Georgia GOP is up to their usual trouble.
Governor Deal, Mr Smaller Government, lower taxes, etc. has increased his staff and raised salaries. According to the AJC his office payroll is up 30%. All while Georgia faces nearly insurmountable budget shortfalls.
But, really my favorite is Representative Bobby Franklin’s proposed “Right To Travel” legislation that would eliminate driver’s licenses. Rachel Maddow (I do so adore it when Georgia makes it to the big show) quotes Representative Franklin:
One of your inalienable rights is the right to travel, the right to move about without needing your papers,” Franklin told WSB in Atlanta. “You shouldn’t have to have permission from the state to exercise a right that has been inalienably given to you from your creator.
I’ve said it before – Republicans, the gift that keeps on giving.
