Wednesday, January 17, 2024.-Kemp dismisses what's helping GA succeed: Uncle Sam
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Governor Brian Kemp has been in Davos, Switzerland, looking to score some business action for the state, and had a somewhat awkward Q&A with the Bloomberg crew, so naturally I'm all for eavesdropping and chiming in. He loves to tout that $16 billion surplus, for example, but wouldn't ya know, the same Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) he openly dismisses, along with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) amounts to nearly the same amount in federal investments in the state to address needs the state long could have been. The First House Immigration hearing took place today and Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz, Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett and AOC took Republicans to task - somewhat echoing a point I made yesterday: the GOP has no interest in solving immigration; they want to keep issues afloat so they can run on it. New AJC polling indicates state Republicans are wildly out of touch with what voters actually want, namely no money for school vouchers and affirming Medicaid expansion. Why ask "when will they listen?" when they can just gerrymander their way out of harm's way from repercussion?
