The Obama experiment has failed.

There are more than 30 states, who either by statute or constitutional amendment, have defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.

But what shouldn't happen is, you shouldn't have the taxpayers from states that are managing their situations well paying for those states that are not.

What Medicaid basically does is allows them to choose the two base years that they would calculate current their reimbursement levels on. And they all have per-capita allotments based upon what the states are experiencing today in terms of Medicaid costs. And then those are inflated over the years, the next decade, increased at the rate of inflation. And so they have to figure out how to take those dollars and put them to the best use in the state.

I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America's future here in the trenches of the United States Senate.

I just think we need more accountability and more transparency.

Let's not dismiss or attack individual ideas as being inadequate before we have had a chance to assess their positive effect as part of a whole solution.
