"Everybody talks about [Oklahoma's] $1.3 billion deficit. If we take care of the morality, God will take care of the economy."-- Oklahoma state Rep. David Brumbaugh (R-Of Course), explaining why his state's GOP-run government is aggressively pushing the criminalization of abortion, the limitation of student access to public restrooms, and the impeachment of Barack Obama instead of addressing the state's huge budget shortfall (h/t Steve Benen).
But I think it was Sophocles who once wrote: "No good e'er comes of leisure purposeless; And heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act."
Fucking-A, Sophocles. Fuck -- king -- A.
As Brother Benen notes, we can now add Oklahoma to the list of failed GOP states. It joins Louisiana and Kansas as examples of where the GOP has enacted the full Republican agenda and have run their economies into the ground by doing so.
UPDATE: Speaking of running things into the ground, check this out:
Bookings at Trump Hotels have plummeted by more than half since The Donald launched his controversial presidential campaign. While Trump's own popularity among his voters did not waver as he strode towards the Republican nomination, the hotel arm of his empire has taken a hit, according to data from travel firm Hipmunk. Reservations at his hotel collection have fallen by 59 per cent year-on-year as their market share has crumbled.[h/t JB]
