Brewer ironically declared yesterday "AZ Child Health Day" even though she was responsible for dissolving this state’s KidsCare program. How did she help the kids who
lost behavioral health services? Or the kids who lost child-care
subsidies? How did she remedy her cuts to rehabilitative services and in-home services for children? We are the 2nd poorest state in the country with one of the lowest funded education systems in the US, operating minimal state funded programs to give poor children healthcare and she declares yesterday Child Health Day? Seriously FUCK HER.

my kid will lose a lot of her services/therapies due to the budget cuts.
part of me hopes she loses the majority of them that way
it would leave me no choice but to get myself/her the fuck out of this state.
i can't possibly explain how hard it is to get help
for a special needs kid in this state

so lame! as if it's not hard enough. they have no souls these people.

i recently heard an NPR news piece on some families in Georgia having to put their special needs children into old people homes in order to get affordable care because the state wont help them. can you imagine being a kid and having to live in a retirement home, away from your family and friends and school. it's so sad.

don't get me wrong i'm glad/appreciative she's getting the help she is getting now
and i'm sure it's a lot worse somewhere else but instead of moving forward it seems that the powers that be
are deciding to scale back and take away what they were willing to give out.
i'm not ok with letting politics fuck up my kid's well being, that's all.
determining when enough is enough (or not enough is not enough) pack up and leave becomes the hard part.

yeah.

i hate reading articles about the money that gets allocated to defending SB1070 lawsuits or suing the federal government over healthcare or defending Sheriff joe and his cronies - who then counter-sue the county and have to use county funds for their legal defense against the county. or seeing that the MCSO mis-used millions on trips to disneyland and expensive dinners instead of what the voters allotted them to use it on. or the people that have died because they state has decided not to fund their transplants. it's horrible.


all this money (and it's millions upon millions) could be going to better places to help people that really really need it.

but i guess people really really need to take their guns into bars and really really need to criminalize dishwashers for being here "illegally" instead....

a lot of hate and fear and greed running this state. it keeps getting harder and harder to want to live here and keep giving them my tax money. i love arizona but damn...
