Former Recipients of Cut Benefits Attack!

As is all too common now, recipients of tax funds sue the state when those funds are cut, because they have a right to ever-growing government largesse: St. Louisians file Medicaid suit:
Medicaid recipients sued the state yesterday, seeking to halt budget cuts that tomorrow would begin eliminating health-care coverage for thousands of low-income parents.

The federal lawsuit contends the Department of Social Services violated constitutional due-process rights by not providing parents adequate notice of the cuts. It seeks class-action status and an injunction preventing anyone from losing Medicaid benefits.
Due process?

We're glad that Matt Blunt is cutting the budget, but we know that, in the short term, the cost of defending the cuts will eat into the savings.

This may be somewhat off topic but I like what you are doing and I like Matt Blunt. I am a libertarian and don't like many leaders of the democrat and republicans but I think Matt Blunt has done a great job cutting government waste and protecting property from eminent domain.
