A look at Colorado state budgets FY 1993-94 to FY 2019-20. Shocking growth, even with #TABOR in place. toadvancefreedom.com/why-budgets-ma… #copolitics #coleg #TuesdayThoughts 
Note the 6.5% for Transportation in the FY 2019-20 budget. That is consistent with the average appropriations of 6.7% since the year after TABOR was passed. Don't let them lie to you and say TABOR is at fault. #copolitics #coleg #leftylies
I'll be talking about Why Budgets Matter at 8:30 this morning with @JimmyLakey on @600kcol. Looking forward to shining a light on this important topic. #copolitics #coleg #TABOR
Where did all the money GO? Take a look at the appropriations. Note particularly the full $10 billion going to healthcare. This is the precursor to socialized medicine and will bankrupt our state and nation. #copolitics #coleg
Of course, even bringing this topic up results in pearl clutching lefties to say I want people to die. This is a lie. It is a false dilemma, and they are dishonest and ingenious for saying it. Don't buy into what self-styled wonks have to say. #copolitics #coleg
In fact, as I commented yesterday, in California, "having coverage through Medicaid doesn't equate to getting care". forbes.com/sites/chuckdev… … #copolitics #coleg #leftylies
In fact, despite spending insane gobs of money on poverty, California still has the highest poverty rate in the nation. Cities are overrun with homeless, the infrastructure is crumbling, disease and crime are real problems. #copolitics #coleg
So maybe the truly compassionate ones are we who want to lift people up, to empower them, the remove the boot of governments from their necks and allow them to thrive. Private sector orgs are better at helping those who need it. #copolitics #coleg
To illustrate this, there is nothing "compassionate" about safe injection sites, where government creates a space for people to do something against the law that is harmful, even fatal. This is #progressive "thought" writ large. #copolitics #coleg
