(Rick Scott Is TOAST)-This is what healthcare looks like when austerity trumps public health policy.

24. They are all doing it whenever they cut Medicaid and public services. It is what it is.

People didn't used to get caught up in all the weasel words and just said it. FDR, MLK, RFK, Bernie Sanders and Chris Hedges don't play around with what this is about, anymore than most of the veterans of WW2.

I remember working with a group fighting the closure of facilities such as that in the article. A man who was one of first into the concentration camps to rescue those that were still alive, said in his testimony against closures that he had not fought his way with others to Germany to see the same things happening here.

Today, as was predicted by Jefferson, Lincoln and others, the corporatists get away with eugenics and murder by nature of ideological euphemisms, reforms, privatization, efficiencies and such other terms. Germany ran on slave labor, plunder and murder. Most fascist regimes do. The Germans went after the disabled first, since they were easy pickings and the moved ahead.

We have the GOP criminalizing anything and anyone who isn't of a certain type. In the big picture, it's not the kind of bigotry they keep us divided with, it's all about money and power and connections, and the assumptions that the disadvantaged are not good for the bottom line. The bottom line and purpose of those fascist regimes was met, and a lot of money changed hands.

The secret is for the masses to not get caught up in the mass illusions, venality and prejudices that have always been used to make us kill each other. In that way, sad to say, I think the super rich have a moral case. They don't hate each other, so they endure, but they sell us on it.

People in Florida and other states that don't resist this have their reasons. Some feel helpless, others think those people should die anyway, but won't say so publicly. They pretend to have some other cause to be interested. Like what's going on in someone's else's body or pants. Just not the big stuff, the slaughter.

Sorry to be so long but I have to vent sometimes.
