Experience with i. T. Was that it was boondoggle after boondoggle and a tremendous waste of taxpayers money spent on incompetent private contractors who never seem to be able to get things right. And im wondering if you could comment and perhaps its better now, and what impact this has on the current sense of trust among Public Officials regarding their sure. So i would say the failures are just as bad or worse in terms of government contracting, i. T. , healthcare. Gov and the electronic records archive, expensive yearlong projects that largely failed, with healthcare. Gov until it was rescued, big, massive failures. Whats changing is there are a number of people that have identified tractable, fixable problems with the contracting and the i. T. Contracting system, and so if you look at the u. S. Digital service or at 18f, these are new governmentled groups of people that are trying to change the way the government buys technology and to change the way the government builds technology

I had blue cross for years, and i had a really good Premium Payment that i paid every month and i had really good insurance. After this took effect, i lost my insurance and my premium went up to 600 per month. I think it is terrible and i hope that the Supreme Court does decide to go the republicansway. Frank in ohio, an independent caller. My question is, a lot of people are missing the fact that everybody wants the American People to have insurance, but nobody wants our economy to fail. Obamacare is going to take down our economy, and people dont understand that. We want people to have insurance but we want to live in a good economy. We talked about the impact of the courts decision. The administration saying that we dont have an authority for a plan b if the court rules against us. But in the wall street journal yesterday, the republican said they have a backup plan. That is one thing that the challengers say they are for.

The second story calls for reforms from the Justice Department.

This deeply alarming statistic points to one of the most pernicious aspects that our investigation uncovered, that these policing practices disproportionately harm africanamerican residents. In fact, our view of the evidence found no alternative explanation for the disproportionate impact
Enough sanctions on to pressure them to implement the agreement, you dont want to take all of the sanctions off in the first few months, to me, that is a better deal for the United States than risking a confrontation in which we get involved in some kind of third big military conflict in the middle east which is the possibility. You have to weigh the pros and cons. I weigh them on the side of president obama. Richmond, texas, an independent color. Independent caller. The simple fact is that there are only two groups that can solve this. The sunni and the shiite. We have already lost the middle east. There is no reason for us to be there. Until those groups can settle their differences, there will never be peace in the middle east. Ask lets take that point. Thank you for your question and comment. I respectfully disagree. The sunni and shiite have been at odds since the seventh century, since mohammed, since the word of all a allah was resolved. The United States has great interest in t
