Republican Obamacare (AHA)

The Republican Obamacare (AHA) would leave 20 million Americans without healthcare. It cuts funding for which would mean the people with pre-existing conditions could not afford the health insurance premiums. It would cut funding for Medicaid and Medicare hurting senior citizens. So please tell your Senators and Representatives to vote NO.  

The best solution to healthcare in the United States is to do what most other countries around the world have been doing for over sixty years and that is Universal Healthcare also known as Single payer, Medicare for all, and National healthcare. Whatever you call it there are many systems to copy that have been tested for over sixty years. It also relieve employers from the expense of providing the employees with healthcare benefits.

  

Corruption as far as you can see.

The top law enforcement agency in the United States the FBI has shown itself to be corrupt once again in the election of 2016 and in the first days of the Trump administration.  People for the most part are inherently corrupt and that is why we need regulations to govern even our law enforcement agencies that are charged with upholding those regulations.

Martha Stewart was put in jail for allegedly lying to the FBI, it was her word against her broker’s word that she did insider trading. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying to the FBI. Michael Flynn lied to the FBI yet so far has not been charged. George W Bush did insider Trading, but has not been charged. Tom Price Trump's nominee for Health and Human Services secretary did insider Trading, but so far has not been charged. It Certainly looks like selective enforcement to me.

Now the first head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover used the power of the FBI to blackmail Politian’s to do get what he wanted. He used the FBI to come down hard of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. So, Corruption in the FBI is nothing new, but should be stopped.             

William Kay and the Amityville Police

The first time I met William Kay he was just a surgent and I was only about two or three when I wandered down Park Ave Amityville to the intersection of Ireland Place and Park Ave. I was only in my diaper. I guess that is when I started my wondering. Officer Kay and the Amityville Police department would wander in and out of my life until I got married in 1969.

          I remember walking home from the movies with my friend (yes, we used to actually use our legs) When a police car stopped us and the policeman said that my friend’s father was driving drunk and they want my friend to drive him home. When my friend told, them he was only 14 years old they said that they know that he knows how to drive and we took his father home safely. When I was in High School I was on the Wrestling Team and once when an Amityville cop stop me, he said I saw you wrestle than a nice day;

          Looking back on those days I wonder if my black team mates can say similar stories. I felted even when I was young that something not right was going on and I admit that I was glad to be on the right side of the divide, but I wish there wasn’t a divide at all.  

So, the Dictatorship of Donald I begins

The strange thing about the election of Donald John Trump is the one thing his supporters did not believe is when he told how crazy anyone was that would vote for him when he said “I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and they would still vote for me”.  I still think he never wanted to be President during his campaign for the Republican nomination he first attacked Mexicans as criminals, then the Vets when he insulted John McCain, and a Muslim soldier both war heroes, and said he wanted a purple heart without earning it. Then he said he would ban all Muslim from entering the country and start a Muslim registry. He called blacks in the country’s cities as criminals living in poor conditions.

Now you would think after insulting all those people he wouldn’t have a chance to get elected, but many saw him as a strong leader so they gave him the Republican nomination.  He ran against Hillary Clinton who the Republicans had piled up a lot of lies about her, that most conservatives believed. So, thanks to the Electoral College Trump was elected President even if three million more Americans voted for Hillary.

Even before he took office Trump showed how bad a President he would be by appointing the worst cabinet in American History. Trump appointed people that hated the departments they were to head. He appointed Steve Bannon as his chief White House advisor a man who ran a White supremacist web site and was once a neo-Nazi. Trump appointed Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary who doesn’t have a degree in education and hates Public Schools in favor of private schools that take the smarter students and rejects those with learning disabilities unlike the public school that must take all students. Trump appointed Jeff Sessions Attorney General who has a very poor record on Civil Rights. Trump Appointed Rick Perry who didn’t even know what the Energy Department was all about. It was much the same with his other Appointments.     

Robots not Undocumented taken jobs

I remember when I was just entering the work force around 1958 there were hundreds of thousands of workers in factory when they closed or moved. Then around the time I retired 2002 there were about twenty to thirty thousand, but recently they are only talking about a thousand or less. So the job lost is NOT because of cheap labor either overseas or undocumented aliens, but by Robots.

The biggest part of the problem of getting people to work at jobs they and families can live on, is Robots have taken 90% of those jobs away. Workers are no longer needed that is why factories are coming back to the USA. Right now, the jobs they take are mostly repetitive jobs, but what happens when they develop AI Robots that think for themselves then you can kiss the rest of jobs goodbye. Society most solve the problem of too many people and not enough jobs or the whole Society falls apart.

Republican repeal of the ACA

If you must replace the ACA please put a cap on insurance premiums and prescription cost. I still think the best way to go is a National Healthcare system because for one thing it would help businesses for their biggest cost is their healthcare benefit costs. Another is by spreading the cost through the whole population it would bring down the cost for everyone.

Replace ACA with a National Healthcare System like the rest of the world enjoys. You complain that the premiums have gone up under ACA, but that is the fault of the Healthcare insurance companies, not ACA or the government in general.

My bet is that they make small changes then call it Trumpcare instead of Obamacare. I sure the deplorables will believe it for they believe anything Trump says. 

2016 Thank God it's gone

Looking back on the year just past the big thing of course was the election, which Trump won even with only about twenty-five percent of the American citizens voting for him. Now contrary to what most people believe the United States of America is not a democratic country it is a Republic in which the elite Corporate leaders select the President, and Senators. This year there was a little twist the Russian elite helped the American elite select our new President Trump.

          The people that did vote for Trump were fewer, but in the right places. Now I had thought that they were all voting for Trump for just White superiority and that was a big part of it following our first black President. When talking to some of Trump supporters most of them say they voted for Trump because he spoke his mind, but that they didn’t believe he meant what he was saying. So all you have to do to get their vote is say nutty things with a strong voice.       

          The Media especially the twenty-four-hour news networks put on Trump contently which went along way into making 2016 annoying year. The Media did a lot to get Trump elected and the fact that the media is owned by the Corporate elite is very telling.     

          Other than politics there seems to be a lot of Celebrities that died including Carrie Fisher with her mother dying just one day after her, so you can die of a broken heart
