2020 Democratic Hopefuls

All the Democratic hopefuls for the 2020 Presidency seem to have one common theme, Medicare for all. Just the past Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo’s morning program, “Sunday Morning Futures”, on Fox Business channel, one of what is considered the more conservative Democrats, Tim Ryan of Ohio, was repeating the mantra that we (Americans) pay the most for our health care, but get the least.

 Where the heck do these Democrats get this stuff? America has not only the most available, but also some of the finest health care in the world, especially when it comes to surgical and cancer treatment. Every country that uses a single payer system, with the exception of maybe Sweden, people flee in huge numbers every year to the U.S. for any major surgery or complicated treatment.

So when I hear the lie being spread about Americans pay the most, but get the least, I have to ask; where are these great countries? Where are the statistics to back these assertions? And finally, if there is a statistic out there I want to see direct correlations of population to the availability, procedural success rates, and quality of care, not obscurities of statistics in tiny countries with no comparative relevance.

Stacey Abram’s Rebuttal

I have never seen a more lame rebuttal of the President’s S.O.T.U. address. Abrams spent more time portraying herself as a victim than making any relevant point. Who in their right mind would allow this idiot on the gubernatorial ticket? Never mind the possibility that she would be given the authority to govern a state. She spoke of “Social and Economic Justice” i.e., Socialism.

 My question is – Who decides what is socially or economically appropriate, and who makes law to set the guidelines of compliance? Do we choose a disgruntled black person, like Abrams, who thinks the world has been unfair to her or her parents? Maybe we choose an immigrant, who has been deported several times and relies on public assistance to live in this country. Maybe a person from the Middle East who was raised in a home where part of evening prayer was to chant “Death to America”. Should we choose a self proclaimed Socialist, like Bernie Sanders? Or find a real Socialist who was a dictator from a country that used the guidelines of Socialism to govern.

What would the “Social and Economic Justice” police force look like? What would be the penalties imposed on those found guilty of the crime of social injustice? As this country continues to elect more of these nuts to public office, we head farther down the path of “Big Brother” having all control over us. Americans are getting closer to losing the free America that both we the people, and the rest of these nut jobs, have had the luxury of living in. The same America that allows these radicals the liberty to espouse this kind of  treasonous rhetoric.
