Grabbing national attention today are the 3200 problems with North Carolina’s Medicaid computer program, purchased for $484 million.

A bunch of public policy is illogical, rooted in impossible dreams like the infinite, yet non-existent supply side to economics. That said, there is a slim possibility that the computer programmers government is hiring to write its Health and Human Services software must bend programmers’ logic to comply with project specifications. However, I am more inclined to risk erring on the side of safety, and suppose things are proceeding in accordance with that diabolical scheme to gift another 1/6 of the economy to the federal government.
