Top Troop Request Exceeds 60,000
Is the U.S. Preparing to Bomb Iran? - This provoked a thought for me.  If our government thinks that war will get us out of the recession (actually depression) like we are all taught that WWII got us out of the Great Depression.  Then it seems more likely the government might [...]

I thought government would help drive down the amount of denied claims in the health insurance industry.  Surprise!  They are the largest to deny claims.  I know it’s a shocker isn’t it?
Of the eight insurers listed, Medicare is most likely to reject a claim, sending away 6.85% of requests. This is more than any [...]

The Problem:

The new Freedom Watch is out and the Judge has Ron Paul and Tom Woods as guests. I haven’t watched it yet, but I would imagine they are going to talk about the hearings on HR1207, Audit the Federal Reserve. Should be a good watch and follow up to the hearings.
