HOMELAND SECURITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA

I’d love to be able to meet just one idiot that is employed by Homeland Security. When this was instituted after 911, I thought it was a good idea. But when they started inspecting granny’s panties and missing obvious stuff, I began to wonder.
My incredulity was cemented when news came out that Homeland Security had the female terrorists’ Face book posting. But they had an internal debate as to whether investigating her was politically correct. As Webster’s Brian Character from WILK would say, “Are you *****ing me??” They had to have a debate whether this needed to be looked into.
Most, not all government workers are dumb as boxes of rocks. They are specialized geeks who God forbid can’t think for themselves, use common sense questions and do their job.
While Trump might be regarded as questionable in his Muslim remarks, a story like this gives regular Americans who don’t think like bureaucrats a reason to believe in him.
Remember that old line, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. How about this one, “I’m from Home land Security Social Media, if you don’t mind, and please if you do, let me know, understand I don’t mean to offend, and gee whiz, I know you have a right to free speech and all, and shucks, why are you so mean in saying you want death to All Americans, ahem does that include government workers, and if you please just confirm for me are you a terrorist? Oh, what’s that look in your eye? Oh I’m sorry, please I wasn’t being mean I was just doing my job as best as I can which isn’t good but I’ll never get fired because you know I work for the government, oh, okay, I’ll chat with you later after I check with the other guys. Hold on, “Guys, guys, oh keen, it’s lunch time!" Gotta go. But don't be a meanie, okay??"  
Okay that might a little extreme but it gets worse. The reason why these idiots were hesitating was because if they monitored a Face book page and it was wrong, they were afraid of what type of blow back the White House would get. Something was really wrong there. Again, if you wonder why Trump is resonating, just look at this crap now being uncovered.
 

MEDICAID EXPANSION HELPED CUT STATE'S UNINSURED RATE IN HALF

ENROLLMENT NUMBERS DEMONSTRATE NEED, BENEFITS OF AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR LOW-INCOME PENNSYLVANIANS

Earlier last week Governor Tom Wolf announced that 500,000 newly-eligible Pennsylvanians have now enrolled in HealthChoices and are covered by comprehensive health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid Expansion.
Antoinette Kraus, Director of the Pennsylvania Health Access Network, issued the following statement in response:
"The announcement is wonderful and welcome news for Pennsylvanians, safety-net providers and our economy as a whole. Studies predict a tremendous economic benefit from putting federal funding to work by expanding Medicaid, with as many as 35,000 new jobs created. Safety-net providers and health clinics are seeing more patients with insurance, reducing the burden of uncompensated care. Most importantly, though, working Pennsylvanians -- school bus drivers, cashiers, hairdressers, home care workers, waitresses, child care workers, the people who keep our communities running -- no longer have to live with the fear that one accident or illness could wipe them out financially.
There is no benefit to keeping hardworking people shut out of our health care system. Governor Wolf, by expanding Medicaid and making it easy for Pennsylvanians to get the care they need, has acted in the best interest of patients, taxpayers, and our economy -- and voters support him. Recent polling from nonpartisan public policy research firm PerryUndem shows that 80% of likely voters in Pennsylvania support Governor Wolf's decision to expand Medicaid. (PHAN release)
