The “CBO.” I now know what the “NFL” is: National Football League; I know what the “AFL” is: The Arena Football League; I know what “SOS” means: “Save our Ship.” “MLB” is Major League Baseball, and “ACS” means either American Cancer Society or Aeromedical Collection Services — my medical billing company. But I have before […]

Is it fair to say that Washington is in a state of upheaval….that the political process is under attack from all sides….that Americans are pretty much “in the dark” as they (we) look for the truth? I think all of the these are truthful. Americans from all walks of life find themselves everyday scratching their

Yesterday, over 4,000 of you “tuned in” to participate in the conversation about our Healthcare. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for allowing me to share my perspective. Remember my motto: just because I think I’m right doesn’t mean I’m right. And just because you may think I’m wrong doesn’t mean
So the GOP has released their replacement template for Obamacare. The timing for the release is suspect: the CBO hasn’t even scored it yet. So all the “in” fighting and “out” fighting can only be done without any real cost information — possible savings or new expense. But one thing is certain: when the Democrats

You’ve heard the term “FISA Court” bandied about consistently the last few days. Do you know what it is, where it came from, what is its use, and who controls it? YOU may not know, but I’m certain the politicians and news pundits who continue to howl don’t have a clue about FISA. Ready for
