Giving them enough rope to hang themselves, an angry electorate watches helplessly while Dictatorial Republican governors lower living standards for all.

Gov. Scott Walker’s just one of many uncompromising governors overseeing Republican majority’s rubber stamping ultimate power over all.

NYT: Rick Scott, the conservative Republican billionaire vowed to run the troubled state like a corporate chief executive. 

“The governor doesn’t understand there is a State Constitution and that we have three branches of government,” said State Senator Mike Fasano, a Republican from New Port. 

“They are talking about the attitude that he is still the C.E.O. of his former health care corporation, and that is not going to work in this state, in Tallahassee, in my district. The people believe in three branches of government.”

Sound familiar? The authoritarian streak in conservatism will be testing Republican voters in the next two years, who hate to be told what they can or cannot do by some know-it-all bureaucrat. That’s just what they’re getting from Gov. Scott Walker and Rick Scott.   

The governor has (sold) two state jets without legislative permission, a constitutional no-no. He annoyed the Senate president … a host of leaders in conservative states, by trying to kill off a database to track the fraudulent distribution of addictive prescription drugs before it was up and running … without consulting lawmakers ...  Scott rejected high-speed rail … (forcing a) staunch conservative Republican … filing a lawsuit last month …  As State Senator Arthenia L. Joyner (said) “It’s necessary at this time … to let him know this is not a monarchy. He’s not a king. This is a democracy.” 

Mr. Scott is single-minded … wants to create a business-friendly environment, chop up the bureaucracy, peel away regulations and hand out $1.7 billion in tax cuts for corporations and property owners in the first year of his budget. Privatizing Medicaid and prisons is also high on the agenda … Scott is seeking to eliminate more than 8,500 state jobs, including in the Corrections and Health Departments.
