86 million bucks in the hole...

According to yesterday's Globe, the Commonwealth owes the feds 86 million large for a variety of medicaid overcharges.

Jesus Mary and Joseph!

How often does that happen!??

Normally, the Chimes at Midnight would mark this down as an example of the Governor's sheer lack of ability to execute his job despite his props as a private sector managerial genius.
However something a bit subtler might be going on.
Humble Elias thinks it more important to question whether there is any aspect of Romney's movement conservative values that makes him predisposed to efficient governance?
Stop and think, Mitt is a praetorian wannabe and a servile toady to American Wowserdom. IF he could, he'd happily turn the medicaid, medicare, social security, the FDA and the US Department of Health and Human Services over to the Southern Baptist Convention.
However, a little thing called polls and popularity restrain him from enacting any of this nonsense on the state level.
Yet as well know, wowserdom is a hungry beast always bellowing for fresh meat.
So the solution for the Mitt Romney's of America is to make sure the bureaucracy especially anything dedicated to maintaining the health and purchasing power of the poorer classes runs as inefficiently and scandalously as possible.
This way, someday when we are all living in condos in Cloud Cuckoo Land...he and his ilk will have set up the great social welfare yard sale that'll give some snake handling sect power over welfare checks.
See how Mitt does it?
He runs as a managerial genius who will make the bureaucracy run a lean quarter mile...but his screwed up conservative ideology calls for a public sector that runs as poorly as possible.
Which is why there is just no point to voting for one of these rich managerial genius types...especially if they are conservative republicans...they will screw us all every time.
