Oh dear, dear. Here is my first six pack of questions for you Politico. Yes, I find posing questions often the best way to go about matters like this. 1. What costs are going to be passed on to the states? 2. Where will they get the money? 3. How will dirt poor Mississippi et al handle it all? 4. How workable is it to have 50 different this and thats across the Fruited Plain? 5. What does that do for economic efficiency? 6. How does one avoid a race to the bottom?
Torie, surely you know that your rhetorical questions (when re-stated as statements) are the not-so-secretly desired goals of Politico and his ilk. "Transferring Medicaid to the states" is just a roundabout and slightly more politically palpable way of eliminating it completely. Same with all other federal programs that must be "transferred to the states."
