As you know, the U.S. Senate passed President Obama’s health care plan on Christmas Eve. As we were spending time with our families, this government-takeover of our health care got one step closer to becoming law. We also moved one step closer to the first-ever mandatory abortion tax, according to Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President of Americans United for Life.
Yesterday we talked about the amount of money Arkansas’ lottery has fleeced from its people. Today I want to highlight that, once again, Arkansas’ lottery commission is back at work adding more lotteries.
No one seems to care where the $126.5 million dollars came from—the $126.5 “generated” by the Arkansas Lottery in 2009 that is. As if there was a money generator out behind the State Capitol spitting out twenty dollar bills day and night, Lt. Governor Bill Halter and the rest of the lottery cheering section act like it’s all free money! To hear them tell it, you’d think the $32 million they skimmed off for scholarship money was from a pot of gold at the end of some rainbow.
