Ethics Should Ask Senator Richard Burr Why He Withheld His Vote For Foster Care Reform

I really tried to find a picture of Mr. Burr with children.
Unfortunately, this was the best I could muster.

U.S. Senator Richard Burr posted an op-ed moaning about being picked on by the family rights activists for being the one person in the history of U.S. child welfare reform who is holding up the Families First Legislation which is designed to keep kids with families.

But, of course, I am going to throw my 2 cents in.

The gentleman does just not sit on the Senate HELP Committee, nor does he just sit on the Finance Committee, he also sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

So, what does our intelligence community have to do with child welfare?

Well, alot, but that is not what I am looking at.

Why would the Gentleman put so much weight upon the bitch and moans of lil' ole Baptist children's homes in his state.

Medicaid fraud!

The Huffington Post Reported That I'm Sabotaging Foster Care Reform. Here's My Side Of The Story.

To respect the economy of time for my fan base, allow me to sum up his side of the story.

There is a little community around Appalachia called Crossnore, North Carolina whose only major industry is warehousing poor kids who are snatched from the inner cities of his District which are suffering from the ills of poverty and a lack of resources due to sardonic socio-economic policies of privatization.

Sitting on over 300 acres of non-taxable Christian 501c3 property where the Crossnore Children's Home just recently merged with the Crossnore School to expand its operations of warehousing and  trafficking kids, there are plans for expansion of its "revenue maximization" operations.

Oh heck, the Chairman of the Board for Crossnore, John Blackburn, has secured at least $30 million for the expansion of its operations and I bet it has something to do with social impact investments.

Senator Burr is advocating an artificial constituency request to stay in the business of filing Medicaid cost reimbursements to profit from its "at-risk' free workforce just so he can stay in office in office because every corporation should hire a child.

This situation sounds like there is a need for an ethics investigation...just to clear the record because there is a lot of money floating around his campaign activities.

For a grand total of $14,132,203 for the 2016 campaign cycle.

It may behoove a few prying eyes to peek under the cloak of his personal land and natural resource deals surrounding these children's homes.

Or perhaps, it was to ensure his re-election.

But then again, he could just be poorly advised by his staff, and we cannot allow this sort of activity to continue to manipulate the public record, now, can we?

We shall never truly know why he refused to vote on the Families First Act unless there is an ethics investigation.
