When you HAVE to cut the state's budget and you're a politician- you want to make cuts that don't offend your wealthy- connected constituents.
So you cut the poor -disabled and disenfranchised - as told in this story in The SPRINGFIELD (MO) NEWS-LEADER about Missouri's pollys closing the Nevada State Hospital.
They want to shunt most of the mental patients to "group homes" or pack them tightly into other facilities (the State Capitol comes to mind- they'd be right at home).
