Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities. These policies hurt people. They use people's faith to lure them in and say, oh, we're family values. But then they don't vote to help women have children. They don't vote for health care. They don't vote for child care. They demean the poor.

The Federal Government jobs in New Mexico (Sandia, White Sands, NASA) are about the only jobs bringing in consistent amounts of money to the state.
That, and the Hatch Chilis, until Climate Change gets to them.

(14,756 posts)In the womb, the kid gets all the love and attention the church and Republicans can muster. Love and attention -- until you're born. Then you're on your own. No food support. No health care. You're on your own.......
.... until you turn 18. then suddenly, they take an interest in you.
For those of you who don't know, 18 was the year that males were to register for the draft.
