My Take on the Implosion of Trumpcare and What We Should Do From Here

Most progressives would like to see the Affordable Care Act (ACA) replaced with universal health care, either by expanding Medicare to all or by simply creating universal health coverage, which I presume would mean getting rid of Medicaid and Medicare in favor of Universal Healthcare. Allen Clifton expresses this sentiment quite well. I want to …

Analyzing Trumpcare and what the CBO had to say

I already talked of health care in a previous post, but wanted to continue the topic. When I talked about the individual mandate on my last healthcare post, I forgot to mention that the penalty for not having healthcare goes to the government and pegged to healthcare. The insurance companies get none of that penalty. …

Healthcare: Part 1

I have dreaded this week ever since the November 8, 2016, when Democrats lost all branches of federal government, and Congress takes up the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which the population has waited a long time to get. When I say all branches of federal government, I am including the …

Trump’s proposal to radically increase spending on the military

Allen brings up an interesting points and figures regarding military spending. Thank you for showing that we spend $400 billion more than Russia and China. This Huffington Post article talks about our record national defense spending, something in contradiction to what Trump suggest, and this spending is in Obama’s second term. What Republicans say does …

Where is the uproar and outrage?

Allen Clifton wrote another amazing article talking about Trump’s comments on Tuesday night and how he is using the death of the service man on the botched Yemen attack to further his own ego. I will not paraphrase Allen’s article, as you can read that, but I do want to share my thoughts as I …

A Totally Awesome Weekend

Everyone is clambering for “Please let this do the trick. Trump must go!”, however there is another way to look at these events: 1. The more Trump and Republicans get involved in scandals and accusations, then the less time Congress has to focus and work on destroying America with laws that they will enact. One …

Just Add Murder

The title is a play on the Amazon original series, Just Add Magic. Everyone here in the United States needs a bit of magic and unified hard work to keep us safe from the likes of Trump and the right, which are hell bent on enacting policies that directly leads to murder, mayhem, and anarchy. That …

My take on Rick Santorum’s comments attacking health care (ACA)

Allen Clifton wrote an article commenting on former Senator Rick Santorum comments regarding on the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Santorum objects to how poor people game the system and cause the cost of health care to rise. Santorum makes it sound like health care costs were flat and Democrats decided to introduce legislation for the …

How the U.S. is Currently Like Richard Strauss’s Opera Salome

Last night I saw the opera Salome by Richard Strauss and could not help thinking how the opera applies to our situation today. The character of Princess Salome would be the mindless sheep that follow the GOP ignoring facts and believing whatever propaganda falls their way. Salome as near as I can see takes place …

Is Donald Trump Really That Rich?

Allen Clifton wrote another awesome article on 10 Things Trump Has Done That Indicate He’s Lying About Having Ties to Russia. Although I want to talk about his wealth, or the lack thereof, as one of the comments pointed out, I do want to touch on this subject of Trump and Russia. Trump goes out of …
