This could get really old, but my principal and his family have been so accommodating. Still no electric in the RV park.
Senator Bernie Sanders is introducing a medicare for all health plan in the Senate today. Of course, so long as the government is in the hands of the republicans, it will never get anywhere, but, at least the effort is made.
More than that, the last time this was introduced, not a single senator co sponsored it. Fifteen, all of them democrats, of course, signed on.
I see it as a sign two things, one good and one not so good.
A portion of the Democratic Party has finally realized they cannot continue down the road of being a clone of the GOP. Finally.
The downside to all of this is that the republicans are drifting even farther to the right, now talking about replacing their speaker of the house, congressman Ryan, because he is not conservative enough.
What this means is that we have a yawning gulf between the two major parties, leaving us independents a choice of siding with one of them or, of possibly striking out on our own. Has the time come for the formation of a viable "third party?"
Many, mostly democrats, will say no, that unity must be shown in the face of the right wing monster. The problem is that, until today, the democrats have not shown us why they are any different than the GOP.
Time to choose sides?
