Small Government at Work

Kudos to the Topeka, Kansas city council for boldly showing the rest of the country how repug/teabagger small government really works.

Think Progress:

Faced with their worst budget crises since the Great Depression, states and cities have resorted to increasingly desperate measures to cut costs. State and local governments have laid off teachers, slashed Medicaid funding, and even started unpaving roads and turning off streetlights.

But perhaps the most shocking idea to save money is being debated right now by the City Council of Topeka, Kansas. The city could repeal an ordinance banning domestic violence because some say the cost of prosecuting those cases is just too high.

This. Is. Fucking. Genius.
