Hagstom contends that the root of all our problems “is a very bad practice” of providing “free healthcare services at Riverstone Health, more money for food in schools for the kids, more money to help pregnant single moms stop smoking, more money to help elderly people get out of nursing homes and get individualized care in their own homes, etc.”

If that weren’t enough, the Representative from Billings goes on to mock single mothers. The government “creates a mindset that if I have kids and their dads are dead-beats, the government should buy my groceries and help me get a job while they provide day-care for my kids and send me to school to educate me so I can get a better job.”

You literally can’t make this stuff up. For good measure, Hagstrom also mocks school programs that feed hungry kids.

Hagstrom was also one of three legislators to vote against assisting veterans returning home with affordable housing. This from the man who works for the Affordable Housing Development in Billings.

4. This is not an April fools joke: Sub heading of the article.

You can write Montana Street Fighter and ask if you have any questions.

6. What a fucking prick. I still hold the belief that we should discriminate against people...

Applying for government jobs.

Those that don't believe in government programs shouldn't have jobs administering them. Period.

There's plenty of unemployed CARING people out there with college degrees that can actually sympathize with those in need of assistance. Hire them instead. Weed out pricks like this. ASAP.

9. Agreed. But most 'pricks' are elected by their peers. IDK WTF happened to MT.

It was one of the states with hateful GOP demonstrations during the election that got national attention. But it was also the state that tried to stop corporate election funding resulting in the Citizens United case going between the USSC. They tried to legislate against it again and failed, AFAIK.

I had a friend who worked in the state legislature and after a decade or more of political involvement threw up his hands and decided there was nothing to be done and left his field. Not that there aren't similar battles in almost every state brewing from the CTers and Teahadists.

It's exhausting and disgusting in the extreme, like this guy.

7. Don't blame anyone but the ignorant people who voted for him in office. Pretty sad.

He sure is no christain. These are the very same that want to outlaw abortion. So one way or other they want you not to get the care you need and if you happen to make it to adulthood and your ill hurry up and die if you don't have healthcare.
