I am so tired of the rehashed politics of the 21st century. No, Mexicans aren’t going to kill your family. No, the deficit isn’t going to squash our economy.
We need to talk about things that are real and meaningful. Making healthcare accessible to everybody seems like a great goal. It would prop up small businesses that can’t compete with corporate benefits packages. It would prop up people in dangerous or intense lines of work that put themselves at greater risk of harm. It would put a stop to the rampant price hikes that our already-subsidized pharma companies reap huge profits from. We need to stop bickering and start talking about the policies that actually make a difference.
HAVE IDEAS! BE CREATIVE! Democracy puts this power in our hands. We shouldn’t be so easy to pass our decision making powers off to bureaucrats. Do we want to live in an America that makes the impossible happen, or an America that can’t get out of its own way long enough to see the writing on the wall?
