Governor Steve Beshear will be out of the Governor's mansion by the 7th of next month, and I can't say that I will miss him. As a matter of fact, there is optimism in the sweet Kentucky air as liberalism must take a back seat to sanity for at least the coming four years.

Governor elect Bevin has already made it clear to the Obama Administration that Kentucky will not be accepting any Syrian refugees. None the less, I wonder if Kentuckians are prepared to grapple with the Beshear legacy.

EXCERPT---
"His (Beshear's having elected to embrace ObamaCare) decision reduced Kentucky's rate of uninsured people from more than 20 percent in 2013 to less than 9 percent this year, the largest drop of any state in the country. But it also meant taxpayers now pay for the health insurance of a quarter of the state's population, placing a strain on the state's finances as it seeks to grapple with a $14 billion unfunded liability in a pension program for public school teachers."

This demonstrates what I have contended from the outset of the Dem's clandestine midnight push-through of the Bill. ObamaCare is a redistribution scheme set up to force the gainfully employed, the responsible and the motivated, to pay for people who do not or will not work. At any rate, it is clear that the productive and the self reliant of the state's populace will be expected to pay for 25% of the people who live here to have health care. And I hate to pour cold water on the Mr Bevin's celebration but, the federal subsidies meant to kick things off are getting ready to be passed off to the State level. He/we have our hands full.
