Here is an excerpt from the Washington Times:

"The Transportation Security Administration "cooked the books" to

understate the costs of using federal workers rather than private

contractors to screen airport passengers, a key TSA critic in Congress

charged Wednesday.

Federal auditors found the agency erred in its cost comparisons, and a

skeptical lawmaker said TSA did so to stop the use of private contractors

to do screening — an option Congress wrote into the 2001 law that

created the agency.

Sixteen airports throughout the country use private screeners under the

Security Partnership Program (SPP), but TSA has barred other airports

from joining the program."

I can't attached the article so I copied it below:

"Eventually Paul got so busy he took on a partner (his medical practice).

Jack Pruett, who was then fresh out of his obstetrics/gynecology residency,

says when he first sat down in Paul's office, he was told there were two

stipulations he would have to agree to before joining the practice.

He said, 'No. 1 is we will not perform any abortions.' And I said, 'That's

fine; I can live with that. What's No. 2?' " he remembers.

No. 2, says Pruett, was that the practice would not participate in any

federal health programs, which meant, as Paul described it, "that we

will see all Medicare and Medicaid patients free of charge, and they will

be treated just like all of our other patients, but we're not going to charge

them and accept federal funds."

Still in debt from his medical training, Pruett said that was a little harder

for him to swallow. "But I liked Ron, so I decided I would agree to that,

too. And in all those 20 years, we never accepted one penny of federal

money. We saw all those patients for free, delivered their babies for free,

did their surgeries free; whatever they needed we did, and we didn't

charge them."

For months Rush Limbaugh has been attacking Ron Paul and even his supporters (military). Reality has set in and he now sees that Paul is the only candidate to offer a true economic plan that will save the country for our childrens' future.

I am old enough to remember when the Republican Party was much more moderate (pre-Reagan). Most Democrats and Republicans, in that era, were willing to work somewhere inside imaginary lines. Today the Democrats want to give everything away for free. The Republicans have a lobbyist structure (did not exist before) that has only one objective - bring the tax for the elite to as close to zero as possible. Both parties have gone to the extreme and neither really cares about the national debt (don't believe what they say). Are there any individuals looking for a candidate that is not extreme?

I am Republican, however, I am interested in a Republican leader who balances the poor (not lazy), the middle income, and the rich. The Republican machine, pulling the strings behind the scenes, thought Rick Perry would be the answer to neutralize and surpass Mitt Romney. How's that working for you? Now, you can go to Fox News' website and it shows "RAISING CAIN". Once again, they show Herman facing off against Romney. Do you not see that we know he served for the Federal Reserve? That we know he served on the boards of your corporations? That he's pushing a tax plan that only benefits the rich? That he is part of your establishment (politician or not)? Seriously! FYI, I am not voting for Romney.

Don't answer this questions without doing a little homework. An educated answer is worth 1,000 times more than an ignorant one. To site a couple of sources for you, please see the video in http://goldinformationcenter.com/2011/06/13/gold-v... (Steve Forbes) and also check out the drop in value of the US Dollar at http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0611/Gold_S...

Large corporations have all but taken over Washington DC with their lobbyist. They've strangled small businesses which are the true engine of the United States Economy. If tax breaks are used to stimulate the economy, I believe only small to mid-size businesses should participate. Do you agree and which presidential candidate do you think has a similar view? Obama, Perry, Romney, Paul, Bachmann, Cain, etc.

instead of someone who you think could win? Will you lead or follow others in order to save face?

I'm so tired of extreme left and extreme right. Why can't someone step up who would be willing to tax the rich, plug tax loop holes from Corporate America, drop taxes for small business (our true economic engine), eliminate Obama's national healthcare, increase minimum wage to at least poverty level, place controls on unions (ridiculous salaries), and protect small businesses from corporations that rule the world? Am I asking too much?
