I'm all for paying higher taxes for a Medicare for all system.

I have no problem with paying higher income taxes and/or higher sales taxes in exchange for a system where I don't have to pay a monthly premium, then a co-pay, then a deductible, and then still have additional bills. The peace of mind that we would have as Americans regarding our health care costs and the savings that it would bring would alleviate a ton of stress on all of us. If we have to cut defense spending to pay for M4A, then so be it.

We have to get over our fear of taxes. Taxes allow us to pay for things that we all need at a huge discount.


One cost. One payment. One system.

There are those that will vote for Trump simply because of tax cuts.

They know that he's incompetent, an embarrassment, unhinged, and dangerous, but they want their tax breaks. So, they will vote for him even though they tell pollsters that they disapprove of the job that he's doing overall.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by poll numbers. If the Democrats win in 2020, it will be by razor thin margins.

It's a big problem here in NYC. If you live in a neighborhood with tourist attractions, then your life will be hell.

--On Edit--
AirBnB is a big driver of this problem. In essence, they're providing de-regulated hotel service which does lower prices without any consumer protections.

Where do the "War Hawks" go now?

Now that Trump has fired Bolton, and no sane thinking Dem presidential candidate will pick him up or someone like him, who do the "War Hawks" turn to?

9/11 is now 18 years ago. Back then the "War Hawks" were in their glory. They could invade/attack any nation they wanted to and Americans would cheer for them.

Today, they're out in the cold.
