...sure, Bush inherited a huge gap in Medicaid enrollment from his Democratic predecessor. When Bush took over in 1995, Medicaid officials failed to reach about 30% of eligible children, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan Washington group. The percentage grew as Texas families, forced off cash assistance by new welfare laws, were not told that their children still qualified for Medicaid.

Democrats contend that the Governor showed his priorities when he opened the 1999 legislative...
...favorite party game. So even though the writers are blaming directors for their contractual shortcomings and the MTA is implying in radio ads that the transportation workers are greedy, I will not point a finger at Fred Segal.

...surplus-money divide between him (hardworking taxpayers) and Gore (government, of course). And he came up with a handy Reaganesque response for whenever Gore puffed up the Adminstration's plans for any unsolved problem: "Why haven't you done it the last seven years?" If there was a stature gap between Gore and Bush, Bush closed it some on Tuesday by staying calm and holding his own in the face of an Al Gore who for most of the no-commercial-breaks affair could hardly contain himself.
