Meaning that the scoring of the health care bill creates the appearance of deficit reduction, without the reality.
Obama and the rest of his Democrats are busy touting their health care bill as a “deficit buster” today based on a preliminary CBO [...]
Fox News continues to dominate cable news ratings. CNN and MSNBC continues to be beat out by a cable channel that specializes in dick and fart jokes.

I got an interesting email today from Congressman Pomeroy about how he negotiated with the Health and Human Services administration to waive some rules that would have seriously hurt small hospitals, the like of which many North Dakotans rely on. [...]
Back in February, North Dakota Democrats were calling former Governor Ed Schafer “sleazy” and “dishonest” for suggesting in an ad that the state’s federal delegation - Byron Dorgan, Kent Conrad and Earl Pomeroy - were supporting a bill that funds abortion. Today, the Governor is running an ad doubling down [...]
If President Obama and the Democrats get their way, healthcare reform will get passed via “deem and pass”. There are all sorts of hurdles set in the path of this approach. Skittish Democrats more worried about their political futures than expanding government might not support it. Various parts of the [...]
Back in February I posted about a snafu including some “tigger” spending embedded in legislation by the North Dakota state assembly that Governor Hoeven announced would be spent but ultimately was not due to a clerical mistake at the state treasury. The state legislature had appropriated $8.8 million in funding [...]

Hoeven has asked for the Republican nod for the U.S. Senate race, as has Fargo architect Paul Sorum. Although Hoeven, a moderate, seems a sure bet for [...]
But don’t worry, these idiots can totally make your health care more efficient. We just need to give them the opportunity.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., is demanding answers from the Social Security Administration about how they have used more than $2.5 billion in increased funding since 2006. The funding [...]
Just observing the mainstream media, one would think that the health care bill was on the verge of becoming law. Just a few more back room deals to cut, a few more arms to twist, and Uncle Sam is in charge of your medical life. But I was talking to [...]
Throughout the health care debate, certain elements on the left have argued that the solution for health care in America is “Medicare for all.” Liberal protesters have waved signs calling for this. Rep. Alan Grayson [...]
Update: Originally this post referred to Walgreen’s ceasing to accept Medicare customers. Actually, it is Medicaid that Walgreen’s has stopped accepting. The points still apply though, I think. Walgreen’s is dropping a government-run health care plan because the government rations costs.

Apparently one of the myriad of advocacy groups from all over the country that are running ads both for and against the Democrat health care bill happened to make a mistake in the phone number they published in the ad. Rather than giving Rep. Earl Pomeroy’s phone number the ad [...]
