California - Going the Way of Detroit
Not necessarily going bankrupt,..not just yet, but the level of corruption and governmental misfeasance makes the formerly Great State of California a good bet to goes toes up soon. Read this
article from The Blaze, entitled "Relentless CNN Reporter Grills Calif. Health Secretary Until She Responds to His Questions About Fraud Allegations",
Refusing to take no for an answer, CNN’s Drew Griffin tracked down California Health and Human
Services Secretary Diana S. Dooley and pelted her with questions about fraud allegations within the
state’s federally funded “MediCal” program. Though she initially refused to talk, the news crew’s
persistence eventually led to at least a response — before she called security.
“The state of California takes fraud very seriously, and there are many investigations that are
underway…all allegations are given full and fair consideration,” she finally answered, adding that
she was late for a “meeting.”
However, when Griffin attempted to follow up with some additional questions, Dooley grew
irritated and eventually called security.
Earlier in the video package, Griffin hunted down a number of rehab clinic owners and asked them
questions about potential fraud related to phony billing to the “MediCal” program in
California.
CNN’s investigation found that “MediCal” paid out $94 million in the past two years to drug clinics
that have shown signs of deception or questionable billing practices.
Since Dooley’s confrontation with Dooley, the Department of Health and Human Services in
California has suspended 38 clinics and are apparently investigating alleged cases of massive fraud,
CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported on Friday.
Cooper also grilled the director of the department and pressed him to reveal what they have
discovered in their years-long investigation into MediCal fraud. He got very few answers.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Nancy Pelosi - The Biggest Idiot in Congress
Some of the most outrageous lies that Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has uttered. Courtesy of the Independent Journal Review
1. No Spending Problem Here
"It is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. We have a budget deficit problem that we have to address."
2. Unemployment Creates Jobs
"[Unemployment benefits] creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Pelosi also said it has the "double benefit" of helping those who lost their jobs and acting as a "job creator" on the side.
3. Health Independence?
“This week marks one year since the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act. It captures the spirit of our founders. The spirit they wrote in the Declaration of Independence."
4. Obamacare Allows People to Quit Their Day-Jobs
"Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or, eh, a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance, or that people could start a business and be entrepreneurial and take risk but not [be] job-locked because a child has asthma or someone in the family is bipolar. You name it. Any condition is job-blocking."
5. Obamacare is Slashing Deficits
"Many of the initiatives that he passed are what are coming to bear now -- including the Affordable Care Act," Pelosi said. "The Affordable Care Act is bringing the cost of health care in our country down in both the public and private sector, and that is what is largely responsible for the deficit coming down." The Affordable Care Act is already three times original cost estimates at $2.7 trillion over ten years and will add $6.2 trillion to the long-term debt.
6. Government Fulfills Americans
“To some of us the role of government is about doing things for the American people to help them reach fulfillment."
7. Finding Out What's In Obamacare
"It’s going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it..."
8. Politics Getting in Obama's Way
"I don't think [Obama's] ever done anything for political reasons [...] This has been a president as bipartisan as any that I've seen."
