    So we pay higher prices for gas because oil companies are exporting excess crude overseas?

    Medical homelessness?

    Do a poll these medical facilities and doctors to see what their political party affiliation is. My guess you have the Conservative/Tea Party doctors that didn't want to have anything to do with ACA because they knew they would lose revenue due to having to abide by agreed-upon charges built...

    You shouldn't. Reef pretty much ultimately explained who was in the right. Speaking of rights, did anyone understand what this Nevada governor was talking about regarding "First Amendment Areas"? Is he implying that the cows were afforded Constitutional 1st Amendment rights? Nevada Gov...
