Medicare,
Obamacare and the VA All Have the Same Fatal Flaw
What
is common to Medicare, Obamacare and the VA is that they are all run by
government rather than for-profit private industry. But who is really in charge
of a government-run entity such as Medicare? If, for example, ongoing Medicare
fraud was suddenly discovered in Omaha, Nebraska, who ultimately should bear
the blame? The answer to this question literally boggles the mind. Those REALLY
in charge of Medicare are: 1) the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services), the agency that actually runs Medicare; 2) the Department of Health
and Human Services that oversees the CMS; 3) the OMB (Office of Management and
Budget) that approved Omaha's fraudulent funding requests; 4) the President of
the United States who signed the funding bill allocating unnecessary money for
Omaha, the respective Appropriations Committees of both; 5) the U.S. Senate; 6)
the U.S. House of Representatives that approved that amount for Omaha; 7) the
entire Senate; and 8) the entire House that voted those sums for Omaha into
law. [more...]
Sterling
and His $2 Billion Deal
Donald
Sterling is releasing his proposal to sue the NBA, leaving only approval by the
league's owners for Steve Ballmer to become the new owner of the Los Angeles
Clippers. Sterling is to sign off on the $2 billion sale to Ballmer, former
Microsoft CEO, bringing this global race-infused fiasco to a close. Donald
Sterling's attorney said, "he has made an agreement with the NBA to
resolve all their differences." Sterling gave his consent to a deal that
was negotiated by his wife, Shelly Sterling, to sell the team. [more...]
Ex-New
York City Teachers Threaten to Sue to Get Retroactive Raises
By
Kyle Olson
New
York City municipal unions waited to negotiate new contracts until Bill de
Blasio was mayor and with good reason: they knew the Progressive Democrat would
give them whatever they wanted. And did he ever, awarding retroactive raises
for three previous years to the city's teachers. But the mayor didn't include
retroactive raises for teachers who resigned over the past few years, and they
are suing to get what they consider their piece of the pie. [more...]
Bergdahl,
the VA Scandal and Hillary
On
this week's POLITICAL INSIDERS, we discussed: How successful has the
Obama White House been at diverting attention from the VA scandal by bringing
home Bowe Bergdahl? Or did this cynical plan backfire as they replaced one
shocking scandal with an even more stunning one? Has their dissembling and
incompetence finally broken some Congressional Democrats away from the Obama
Administration? Can Hillary - whose book launch this week is tantamount to
announcing her 2016 candidacy - separate herself from Team Obama? Watch our shows here: Sunday Part
1, Part 2, Part
3. [more...]
