The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Molly Ivins

The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Molly Ivins: "Naturally, in Texas, National Laboratory for Bad Government, we do it all first and worst. We started with this dandy plan to outsource applications and enrollment for social service programs such as food stamps and Medicaid. In theory, we were to save millions -- though I never could understand it myself. You see, Texas has one of the cheapest state governments on the continent, but when we hire outside contractors, they expect to make a profit. Add profit, add cost. Oh well. "


Molly gets it all right,
and she calls folks out,
and just generally rocks
like the brilliant Texas
woman she is.

Yay!
