It's too bad that the people who founded the country didn't lay down some sort of law against a (then colonial) government sabotaging itself. We even have a vestigial British governor general who could enforce it for us. The word "treason" comes to mind.
Why cut these services?! Is Florida going to add more police, social workers, ER doctors and etc deal with the consequences?
Who do you think cut these services? This is GOP 101. Never elect a Republican governor. See MI, ME, FL, etc, etc.

I hope you don't get voted down, because it's just the way things are. It is really mind boggling how many GOP supporters try and deny this.

This is just sad. Didn't something similar happen with Ronald Reagan in the 1980s? http://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/30/science/how-release-of-men... http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/timeline-mental-...
