If either Trump or Clinton is president you will be on your own.

When you need healthcare - forget it - you will be on your own

When you want further education - forget it - you will be on your own

When you want a raise in the minimum wage - forget it - you will be on your own

When you need adequate maternity leave - forget it - you will be on your own

and the list goes on...

and oh when the draft comes they will really want you

Clinton and Trump are oligarchs and they only have interest in power.

I start my approach to healthcare from two very basic premises. First, healthcare must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. Every man, woman and child in our country should be able to access the healthcare they need regardless of their income. Second, we must create a national healthcare system that provides quality healthcare for all in the most cost-effective way possible.

Tragically, the United States is failing in both areas..........

Maglev is back, tantalizing Marylanders with the promise of speeds that could whisk train passengers from Baltimore to Washington in 15 minutes.

What is billed as a new generation of magnetic levitation technology is at the heart of the latest proposal, the first step in what would eventually be a line taking passengers from Washington to New York in 60 minutes at a cruising speed of 311 mph.

Many of those hurdles remain, but an investment group headed by a former chair of the Maryland Democratic Party and backed by former politicians of both parties is pushing a new version of maglev. The group is seeking financial, community and political support for a project called TNEM — for The Northeast Maglev.

I like fast trains! This could create lots of jobs?

This makes me mad. We had to pay more than 20% and we earn very little.

This isn't fair.

Troops out of Iraq
Troops out of Afghanistan
Reg. the banks
Job creation
Taxing the rich
Not taxing me much
Healthcare (still more to shop for)
Nation building at home not elsewhere (although we still need to help the poor elsewhere)
Telling congress to get their act together - no pork
Payroll tax thingy
Reg on pollution and foods etc
Green things
Cut real waste
Capture OBL (Bush didn't)
Gays in military
Education priority

etc
