If you read nothing else, skip to the bottom of this sad list and see how Deputy Assistant Governor McCrory is working hard to put more kids in prison. If this doesn't turn your stomach, you're not a human being.
Hat tip to Facing South for uncovering this report in Earth Magazine. Too bad Pat McCrory's magical three E's didn't include ethics, environment, or evidence.
Few folks I know really take the time to understand what's really going on with Medicaid. Most just listen to the double-talk coming out of McCrory & Wos and roll their eyes in disbelief. Not Rose Hoban. She's digging into the substance with in-depth coverage that is well worth your time.
Deputy Assistant Governor McCrory was all shits and giggles today when he announced he'd be giving a $100 million bribe to lure MetLife to North Carolina. Morals of this story:
If you're a private citizen in need, you're out of luck. No bribes for you.
If you're an insurance company already operating in North Carolina, your major competitor just added $100 million in unearned income to its bottom line.
If you're a taxpayer in North Carolina, a big chunk of your tax liability is being redistributed to a multinational company whose shareholders are laughing all the way to the bank.
