So much of our country’s attention has been focused on domestic policy since the Great Recession of 2007-2009 that foreign policy has taken a backseat to the recovery and the implementation of Obamacare.

Healthcare expert, Sally Pipes, provides The Cure For Obamacare during a candid discussion about the Affordable Care Act. Sally believes President Obama’s end game may be for Obamacare to fail so he can push for a single-payer model as seen in Canada, Great Britain and throughout Europe.

As Congress struggles to pass a national budget, a similar budgeting nightmare is being played out in Ventura.

In Ventura’s case, a budget has been proposed and approved. The only problem? The budget is pure fiction, according to City Councilmember Neal Andrews.

In this fiscal year, Ventura will run a budget deficit of $1.6 million. The City has run budget deficits for the preceding 4 years ranging from a loss of half a million dollars to a loss of $11.4 million—cumulatively $21.6 million.

Joining me to explain the budget deficit is Bob McCord.
