the meanness of Georgia Republicans

[Ban my account ffs!]

Ugh.  Georgia is doing its best to become a Republican utopia.. complete with a burgeoning underclass of poors that will cause revenues to fall further and the state's sprawly infrastructure will become impossible for them to afford.

There are a multitude of reasons for them to have a healthy safety net outside of the obvious moral ones.  Spite and general meanness seem to run the GA GOP.

One could argue that a significant part of the GOP has always wanted to knock the poor off the dole out of spite/meanness.

That attitude is hardly something new and prevailed as the main policy until the early/mid 20th century.

The truly mean part about it is that we've now seen what programs that lower poverty can do for society and we still choose to screw these people.
