Senator McCaskill wants more gov't oversight of contractors, 1/6th of the contracts audited, a small fraction of the total, is unaccounted for. She questions what "additional controls are needed?" How about not contracting at all and giving the job to the DoD? In previous wars we've done that, but there aren't enough volunteers to fight these crappy wars, so we have to hire Hessians.
Rep. Issa (R-CA-Extremist) wants the GAO to get law enforcement powers for the purposes of going after ACORN and the 0.0002% (rounded up) of the Federal Budget they get each year. Way to prioritize Mr. Issa! Can we send this guy back to the minors?
I'm a born-anew Pashtun Nationalist. While America continues to kill and murder with drone rockets in FATA, Pakistan, I support an indpendent Pashtuninstan for long-term stability in the region. Has anyone polled the Pashtun about it? I bet support would be over 80% except in the one or two regions which somehow benefit the most from the current chaos.
Mexico has killed the #1 smuggler of cocaine into the United States. That ought to fix it.
Dana Milbank calls debating health care on Christmas Day "Unchristian!" Puny human!
I never thought the tax on expensive, private health insurance was a good idea, but someone points out today that the old and the sick, and even worse the old and sick, spend more. Do they need a new tax? Something tells me people who are old and sick aren't rolling in dough, and if they are, we can tax them some other way.
