Hillary Says Clintons Were ‘Dead Broke,’ VA Audit Reveals 100,000-Man Wait List, IRS May Have Illegally Given FBI Tax Records: P.M. Links

  • Hillary Clinton, who regularly
    charges hundreds of thousands of dollars to gab at people for an
    hour or two, claims the Clintons were
    “dead broke”
    after Bill left office in 2001.
  • A Veterans Affairs audit revealed that around
    100,000 veterans
    have been affected by long hospital and clinic
    waits and that VA staffers have been falsifying records of
    appointments.
  • Documents obtained by a House panel suggest that the IRS may
    have illegally given the FBI
    1.1 million pages of documents relating to taxpayers

    shortly before the 2010 midterm election.
  • Guantanamo Bay has more men up for release, but some are
    skeptical that “a
    positive attitude” and practicing yoga
    is a good enough reason
    to let them go. Perhaps the fact that the U.S. government defied
    the Constitution by detaining many of them without charges and has
    held them indefinitely despite being cleared for release would be
    more palatable to skeptics.
  • “When a two-liter cola is 99 cents and blueberries are over
    three dollars, something has gone very wrong,” said Rep. Rosa
    DeLauro (D-Conn.), revealing that she has no grasp of commerce but
    intends to introduce federal
    soda tax
     legislation anyway.
  • The number of millionaires worldwide increased by 2.6 million
    last year, and 1.1 million of them are in the U.S. That means there
    are now more than 7 million millionaires in this country. Being
    called “one in a million” isn’t so much a compliment as it is a
    statement of fact.
