NH State Senator Jeanie Forrester just announced her candidacy for NH Governor; I have a question you won’t like at all

ME Fiscal Note

I have a question for you, Jeanie Forrester, now that you have announced for Governorship run.

You are running on a platform of Limited Government (sheesh, don’t all Republicans do this?  Whether they actually act like it or not)?

HOW THE HELL can this be limited Government, Jeanie? You voted for this part of Obamacare back in 2014 – you helped set this horrible financial hot mess in motion!  And you just took the tax pledge on not instituting an income or sales tax?  Knowing you are responsible, in part, for this upcoming $50 million hole?  So riddle me this:

How can Medicaid Expansion be paid for without instituting an income tax or sales tax?

You folks quibble about adding just a couple million dollars at times – where is this money going to come from?  Cognitive Dissonance much?

I guess I’m gonna have to now get your latest Op-Ed on this topic, too – having glanced at it when it came out, it will be (all of the flowery words and tax hand responsibility waving aside) very easy to tear to shreds because there is no rationalizing this away.
