Election Year Medicaid Medicare Inducement issues left open for November not openly discussed.

Judicial dilemmas, since all are offically allowed to bear arms again the big city Mayors are concerned about how the poor will be able to rearm themselves and are looking for some type of financial relief from Federal State Medicaid programs to maintain status quo.The higher courts face tough issues this term since making honest fraud legal, there agenda now turns toward making honest kickbacks and honest bribes equally as legal. This topic remains high as a shared issue by the medicaid medicare enrollment providers since they are looking to expand inducements past the complicated pregnancy stage.The DOJ has serious concerns that if legalized marijuana in California for medical reasons could be used as a inducement or inticement to help secure new enrollments for the Federal State Medicare Medicaid programs.The State of California is concerned that if the Feds step up their effort in killing off the marijuana crops it could cause higher tax problems that effect Medicaid currently under consideration by the State marijuana tax control board. Limo drivers cancel their planned DC rally and leave for California to protect this years crop. Wow, don't think I would like to be in Politics for this years elections.

You are an anarchist! Do not touch our constitution, our right to vote!

We american people do not want any desorder, voluntarism and riots

in our country! You want to bring the criminal saturnalia in our life, rejecting governmental regulations in justice, labor, distribution of wealth...

Your mentality serves to 100 superriches (check Forbes list) against 300 million relatively poor working americans. We will rock you!

Please, leave the manner to talk "american people" - " american people". How many "american people" authorised you to talk from their names?

You may talk just from your name and do not forget to mention our educational level.

Oh, if only that were true. However, I am certain that the Green-Socialist Coasties will rally and band together, stamping out the flickering flame of liberty in the People's Republic of California.

The American people can take care of themselves. We don't need a Big Government to take care of us.

We prefer freedom and liberty over government control of our lives. I know this is hard to understand for all the left-wing do gooders that fail to see or accept the unintended consciences of their programs to "help" those they deem in need.

Then add the unions that control their overpaid workers and the Democrats and then wonder why jobs are going overseas. Yes, unions had a place at one time but have become a cancer in the free market.

It's always funny how the people that never had to meet payroll or fought to keep a business a float profess to know so much about something they know nothing about.

Less Government is better Government, that is what the founders of this great country believed, and it's what I believe.

Power of the people, for the people.

Overreach? Hardly. The suffering economy is the cause of voter unrest on the West Coast, not Obama’s so-called expansion of government. The under reach of the past couple of decades including deregulation of financial markets and free-trade agreements that have sent manufacturing overseas, and destroying our middle class are the cause of voter discontent. Writers like you must have a political agenda to ignore these essential causes of our insecurity.

Just what is the prescription for recovery from the Republicans? I hear a lot complaining and see a great of obstructionism but no plan of their own other than to return to the policies that put us here in the first place. Americans are frightened, and their judgement impaired, so they may put the Republicans back in control of Congress, but they will come to regret it.

True enough, and I submit they need to find better quality leaders who posses more conviction.

True enough, and I will submit that they need to find better quality who possess more conviction.
