Name that party--Dallas

Houston Chronicle:

A draft report of a new federal audit questions the Dallas Housing Authority's spending $20 million on suspicious rental assistance payments, including subsidies for 45 people who are dead.

On the heels of the soon-to-be-released audit, the head of the housing authority, Ann Lott, resigned Tuesday without warning after the agency's board met to talk about the report along with possible disciplinary action. Lott, the agency's president and chief executive officer, had no comment about the resignation which is effective immediately, The Dallas Morning News reported today in its online edition.

...

Among the audits findings: "The DHA spent $167,000 on 45 clients whose Social Security numbers identified them as dead. Between January 2006 and December 2007, the agency paid assistance for 235 clients whose Social Security numbers indicated they were dead as of April 2007. The authority confirmed that it provided assistance on behalf of dead clients and will seek to recover the funds. The agency may transfer the payments to eligible surviving family members," the newspaper reported.

...

Good luck on recovering funds from dead peop0le who probably had no estate. The story never names a political party. That leads to the logical conclusion that the program is was probably run by Democrats.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
