NH Received at Least $2.24 Million Per COVID19 Hospitalization – Where’d it All Go?
Last week we shared some data from Kaiser Health. In it, they reported how much states had received per COVID19 case (as of Mid-April). New Hampshire was pegged at 200,000 per incidence.

Three Million Dollar Taxpayer Funded FRM Bailout?

One day, you are at the supermarket, casually buying grapes (so you can feed them to your love, like they do in the old-timey movies), when a shadowy person comes up behind you and hands you a sealed folder. The mystery person whispers in your ear and says…
