I thought that there was a bar somewhere, a line that would not be crossed, but there isn't, it's just straight up identity politics, or owning the libs, whatever you want to call it.
We can and probably should have arguments about the effective cost of government programs. But Kerr County residents fought hard to not pay $20 per resident (assuming population of 53,000) for a $1M flood warning system. So this is the outcome. And it will cost Kerr County way more than $1M in cleanup.
My interpretation of such is that they're sick of voters who expect a double standard. Don't do something ''I'' don't like when it helps other people, but when ''I'' need help godspeed.
