This just in: I have been reading about things like Bullet Trains in Japan, Universal Health Care in Canada and World Leading Free Education in Finland. This makes me wander, “Why can’t we have nice things here?”
I look at what the Biden administration has been pursuing; things like Universal Healthcare for all, Affordable Education, World Class Infrastructure and I think again, “Why can’t we have nice things here?”
It certainly looks like Democrats are trying to do the “people’s work.” But why is it taking so long?
The answer is simple, Republican Obstruction.
Republican’s, right this very moment, are trying to make the economy fail. They are doing this for two reasons. First, they want to be able to blame the Democrats for it when it happens and secondly, those that benefit are the super rich elite…the Republican billionaires. There is a third reason and it is perhaps the most likely…that is that Republicans are bad at math and have no understanding of economics.
So, if you are a Republican and you vote Republican simply because they are wearing your team’s colors, are you part of the problem?
Let’s take a quiz and see… (For best effect use you Jeff Foxworthy voice in your head as you take this).
If you think an insurrectionist like Jim Jordan should be the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee…you may be part of the problem.
If you think putting prolific liar (and possible criminal) George Santos on any committee is a good idea…you may be part of the problem.
If you think Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said she would have been armed at the January 6th insurrection, should be on the Homeland security committee…you may be part of the problem.
If you think Lauren Boebert, who dropped out of high school and only got her GED after being elected is qualified to be on the House Oversight Committee…you may be part of the problem.
If you think that we should “strengthen” entitlements like Social Security by limiting who has access to them by, for example, raising the retirement age…you may be part of the problem.
If you think Donald Trump is anything more than a mobster in a suit with numerous debilitating personality disorders…you may be part of the problem.
If you think Putin is a good guy…you may be part of the problem.
If you think Christianity should govern our country…you may be part of the problem.
If you think “small government” means banning books, abandoning historical education about race and telling a woman that she must build a baby in her body against her will…you may be part of the problem.
If you think immigrates are “taking your job” … you may be part of the problem.
If you think Fox News is anything other than a Fear/Hate machine…you may be part of the problem.
If you think higher education is bad for our country…you may be part of the problem.
That’s enough for now. You may have noticed that all of the things that I think make you “part of the problem” are positions that the Republican Party is currently and openly embracing.
Just sayin…
Time to save the world…
