We all know about his specific attacks on Disney, now he removes two very specific groups from minimum wage laws....minor league baseball players and border patrol agents.

Why did he choose minor league baseball players.....

"One day after this legislation was filed in Tallahassee, Joe Ricketts, the billionaire founder of TD Ameritrade whose kids own the Chicago Cubs, gave DeSantis a $1 million donation,"

Major League Baseball hired the lobbying firm owned by one of DeSantis' biggest Florida fundraisers and that now employs DeSantis' former chief of staff,"

Joe Ricketts, Reagan Republican - Chicago Reader

When a Regan Republican says the Gipper cut spending, check your wallet.

chicagoreader.com

Ricketts says that he was a Kennedy Democrat who became a Republican because Reagan cut spending, and then became an independent because George W. Bush increased spending.



More specifically, Reagan tried to cut spending, did cut some spending his first two years, but was then blocked by the Crook Klansman Dem Congress of Jim Wright and Traitor Joe's hero Ku Klux Klan Enchanted Cyclops Dem Senate leader Robert KKKing of Pork Byrd.

That he left the GOP because W was a left wing big spending across the board disaster is a "dittos" for myself. I left the GOP when W socialized senior drugs and then this came out...

Inquiry Confirms Top Medicare Official Threatened Actuary Over Cost of Drug Benefits (Published 2004)

Health and Human Services Department internal investigation confirms that then-Admr Thomas A Scully threatened to fire Medicare chief actuary Richard S Foster if he told Congress that drug benefit legislation would likely cost up to $600 billion over ten years, far more than White House figure...

www.nytimes.com

In other words, to socialize senior drugs, W lied to Congress about the cost estimate, pulling a "climate science fudge job" on them... complete with THREATS to the actuary who did the cost estimate.

W, a complete scumbag in every aspect of being a scumbag.




Why Ricketts supports DeSantis is curious, since DeSantis has yet to show a passion for cutting spending...

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law Thursday that exempts records related to his travel from the state’s robust public disclosure law.

The Republican-controlled Legislature voted along party lines to pass a bill (SB 1616) that provides a public-records exemption for travel records of DeSantis, the governor’s immediate family, the lieutenant governor, Cabinet members, the House speaker, the Senate president and the chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court.

DeSantis 36 other bills into law on Thursday which will prevent law enforcement from sharing details about the governor's trips, including the mode of transport or who was traveling with him.

DeSantis also signed bills that will lead to the state inspecting Walt Disney World’s monorail system and require school districts to share local property-tax revenues with charter schools.

Under the new law, law enforcement agencies would be barred from sharing any records related to the governor’s security and travel, as well as “for persons for whom such services are requested by the governor.” The expansive language could allow the DeSantis administration to keep secret trips arranged by the governor’s office even when he wasn’t involved.

The law applies retroactively and would cover his extensive use of state planes throughout his time as governor. It would also cover records related to visitors to the governor’s mansion.

He also stripped state funding for flood prevention from just the counties where Disney is, counties that dared not to vote for him in the last election.

I don't understand how the Republicans can justify his interference in corporations. I thought the Repubs hated that.

Both sides hate it when the other side does it.
