and the above is the problem.
It makes it next to impossible to go forward with policies that will enhance our citizenry when all of the political battle surrounds fighting non sense like that above.
And we do have opposing views on what works best -- doing nothing is not a solution. Invoking 2nd century mysticism is not public policy - because - a good bit of our "we the people" do not subscribe
It goes back to ACA -- which is so far from the health care program I envisioned 6-7 years ago that at that time I would have thought ACA out of hand stupid. But in the day light and the obstacles of mis information and concern with first the bottom line THEN the actual (you know ) care we wind up with this.
The ACA thread has regular updates on how those obstacles of mis information are falling by the way side. I still want a single payer cradle to grave program - like the rest of the civilized world
Suppose there were honest brokers involved in the ACA discussions (abortion,crime,civil rights, Iran (?) on and on and on and on ...) rather than obstructionists or policies designed to accomplish nothing more than tarnish the reputation of POTUS ? Just like above, suppose we as a people were actually talking about societal solutions for abortion or HIV rather than spend all of our political time arguing just over the basic human care involved vs the non sense thrown out to de rail any and all legislation.
What exactly have the GOP done with their control of the legislative branch. They have not helped implement ANY public polic and really haven't done the opposite of saving the taxpayers money. Almost comically, the debt has increased under their watch ----
