Stop Medicare and Healthcare FRAUD (as MeeMaw stated and both you and I agree)<br />BTW Ultima, my friend MeeMaw has enlightened me to this. I am so mad about this! How can all of these Healthcare providers and Doctors and Clinics etc. be complicit in so much FRAUD!! (Gosh, I am angry about this. Thank you MeeMaw for enlightening me! Grrrr.. I am going to have to settle down about this but it does make me angry!!!!!!!!!) <br /><br />NOT ONLY FOR TEXAS BUT FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!<br /><br />2. Private Prison Funding: I personally investigated (last year and this year) all of the rampant waste and abuse with Private Prison abuse / funding abuse, etc. <br /><br />These are two obvious areas my state could save BILLIONS! This is the beginning. Let's nail these down and SAVE!!!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-34888060629656770362010-11-08T17:21:37.786-06:002010-11-08T17:21:37.786-06:00POLITICO.COM : "If you put the Latino vote at...<b>POLITICO.COM : "If you put the Latino vote at 50-50 in California, Nevada and Colorado, all four of those Democrats would have lost" : California Gov.-elect Jerry Brown and Sen.

In Washington State, Democratic Senator Patty Murray narrowly beat back challenger Republican Dino Rossi.<br /><br />And Super Racist Tom Tancredo was defeated by Democrat John Hickenlooper for the Governorship of Colorado.<br /><br />POLITICO.COM<br />How the West wasn't won<br />By MOLLY BALL<br />November 8, 2010<br /><br /><br />http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44846.html<br /><br /><br />Some excerpts :<br /><br />In California — as well as the interior Western states of Nevada and Colorado, where statewide candidates pulled off narrow wins — "it's absolutely a story about the Latino vote," Barreto said. "If you put the Latino vote at 50-50 in California, Nevada and Colorado, all four of those Democrats would have lost" — California Gov.-elect Jerry Brown and Sen. Barbara Boxer, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet.<br /><br />Immigration was an issue in all three states, and Hispanic turnout was relatively high across the board: 22 percent in California, 15 percent in Nevada and 12 percent in Colorado, according to exit polls.<br /><br />Despite Republicans' successes Tuesday, there are clear signs of long-term trouble for the party if it doesn't start reaching out to the fastest-growing minority group, Barreto said.<br /><br />"In 2004, Bush won Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico. In 2008, Obama won those three," he noted. "Unless Republicans are just willing to put them out of play in presidential years, there needs to be outreach to Latinos."<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://raciality.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Raciality.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-66831322066910108192010-11-08T11:37:55.697-06:002010-11-08T11:37:55.697-06:00Here's a plan to help you balance Texas's ...Here's a plan to help you balance Texas's <a href="http://szczecin-ultima.blogspot.com/2010/11/plan-to-help-dee-perez-scott-balance.html" rel="nofollow">budget</a>ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-40562051661983577032010-11-08T11:29:27.648-06:002010-11-08T11:29:27.648-06:00How do the Democrats propose to balance the budget...How do the Democrats propose to balance the budget?

There is no question about that.<br /><br />The real question is: How would you balance the Texas budget? Most of every state's money goes to education,higher education, prisons and social programs or entitlements. Which of these would you take the 25 billion from?ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.com
