2. Republicans are stealing as much as they can as fast as they can

and then when people finally realize they no longer have parks, libraries, cemetery care or volunteer fire departments maybe they will vote the scoundrels out. But this is the new Iowa where we have left our common sense behind.

Even if the radical right is voted out next fall we have been set back by decades. Trying to raise taxes to reinstate a decent level of shared commons will not be an easy task. Especially in a state that has NO liberal media and only a few that could be considered middle of the road.

Lived here all my life and am making plans on leaving. This is not the Iowa I used to live in. Kids in debt up to their eyeballs, hate abounding, guns everywhere..........
