Steve Glazer wins SD7—Catherine Baker and GOP Lose–Editorial by Stephen Frank By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:42 pm On March 17 there are three special elections for Senate seats.

California Democrats to Replace Doctors with Nurse Practitioners By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:35 pm Finally, I now understand how millions of people can be added to the health care rolls and still get health care coverage. If Democrats have their way, you will no longer need to go to Medical School, became a doctor or be qualified to act like a doctor. Just become a “nurse practitioner”. “Nurse practitioners […] Read More and Comment: Doctor Shortage?

That is the process where the rent for the middle class goes up, to pay for the lower rent of the poor. Hurts everybody, but the politicians use […] Read More and Comment: San Mateo County leaders may push for rent control–more expensive housing for middle class Obama/Feds to Deliver ZERO Water to Central Valley By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:29 pm Thanks to the generosity of Obama and his Federal policies, the farmers of the Central Valley will get ZERO water from the Federal water project. He will be using the water as a means to get the farmers to support him, in exchange for a little bit of water—or go out of business and need […] Read More and Comment: Obama/Feds to Deliver ZERO Water to Central Valley BART to S.F.: Got $1 Billion to Spare? Government Always Needs More $$ By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:26 pm Government can never have enough money. As long as productive people still have bank accounts and savings, government will try to separate them from their money and spend it on “the public good”. “The Bay Area’s growth has already resulted in crowding of temperamental trains. With the population expected to grow to 9.3 million by […] Read More and Comment: BART to S.F.: Got $1 Billion to Spare? Government Always Needs More $$ Assemblywoman Shannon Grove fights to protect rights of college students By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:19 pm This is NOT a joke. The State University system has a new rule—a MUSLIM could be, and should be the chair of a JEWISH organization, an Atheist should be head of a campus based Catholic organization and a KKK member could be head of the Black Student Union! No, it is not April 1st, not […] Read More and Comment: Assemblywoman Shannon Grove fights to protect rights of college students Group Works to Stop Dog and Cat Meat Trade in CA–Protect Fido! By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:16 pm Besides my love of public policy, I am also a human rights activist—freedom is a human right. But, my favorite TV channel is not Fox—it is the Food Network, I am a foodie. The only thing I can not eat is anything with curry—it makes me sick.

Higher Demand Unlikely To Overwhelm Doctors in Calif., Other States–LOL By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:13 pm Sometimes the more degrees you have, the less common sense—but you do a study and claim all sorts of wondrous things, In the past five months, 779,000 people were added to free Medi-Cal—but the brilliant folks doing the study say, “No problem”—they will all be easily taken care of. How? No new doctors, most of […] Read More and Comment: Higher Demand Unlikely To Overwhelm Doctors in Calif., Other States–LOL L.A. Times Juggled the Books and Fired Him, Auditor Says By Stephen Frank on Mar 01, 2015 09:10 pm Is the Los Angeles Times a den of corruption, fraud and theft? Looks like a whistleblower found that Times “juggled” the books—and they fired him. Too bad that Obama did not fire Lois Lerner for her corruption—maybe the publisher of the Times should be President, he seems to like getting rid of whistleblowers—something the White […] Read More and Comment: L.A.

The union got the Attorney General to agree to the sale, but with conditions that would kill the deal. In the end the only losers are the poor and those that need health care.
