Candidate Profile: Jon Bruning for Governor

It wasn’t so long ago — only two years, in fact — that Jon Bruning was campaigning for a seat in the U.S. Senate.  He lost the primary contest to Deb Fischer and the rest, as they say, is history. But Jon Bruning is not a fellow to rest on his laurels or, it seems, […]

Candidate Profile: Tom Carlson for Governor

Due to other commitments which tend to monopolize my time these days, I’ve been hesitant to continue the GiN tradition of publishing candidate profiles for fear I could not do them justice.  However, it occurred to me today that the GiN archives are a goldmine of information about a few of the current crop of […]

It’s Funny? Even If Medicaid Expansion Saved Money, Citizens Wouldn’t See a Penny

Politicians, government bureaucrats, and the growing class of largely nonprofit corporate types who live off revenues siphoned from government entitlement spending make many a bizarre argument and manage to do it with a straight face.  It’s a rare moment when you can catch them chortling over the idea of pulling [...]

NEGOP: Help us understand how you differ from Democrats

I am in receipt of your recent Chairman's Report update, and would like to report an injury; I have some bruising of the chin area, sustained when my jaw hit the floor from incredulity. This from the state Republican Party chairman whose senators own a super majority in the legislature, the same legislature that is about to pass without serious debate, challenge, or objection, a huge increase in the Nebraska Medicaid entitlement program?

The Myth of Nebraska’s Sovereignty Resolution (10th Amendment)

It’s both incredibly ironic and highly appropriate for me to be writing this article at this time.

At the risk of exposing the cynical side of my nature, it seems obvious to me that the governor’s stance on the issue inspired the proponents’ strategy to get LB577 passed. The strategy? To push Medicaid expansion… more

Projections re Cost of Medicaid Expansion: Too Good to Be True

There are a lot of Latin phrases you learn when you’re in law school. Some of them have even made their way into common, everyday English! One of those is the warning caveat emptor, “Let the buyer beware.” Expressed in more modern terms, caveat emptor serves the same purpose as the reminder that, if a… more
