Watch the GOP attack them as greedy grasping unamerican liberals who are not entitled to anything.
You know Arkansas GOP and Trump adminstration if you want to kill off “undesirable” portions of your populations could you not have the decency to do it competently? I mean come on scheduling maintenance during the limited amount of time to report one’s monthly hours is cruel and unusual punishment.
