The Republican Policy [View all]

I am an old man. Over the years, I have lived border to border and coast to coast. No matter the location, the core Republican policy has never changed, take care of the money and everything else can take care of itself. This means an end to Social Security, Medicare, public education, welfare safety nets and all regulations unless they benefit capitalistic interest. They are supported by people who don’t want government telling them what to do. Of course, these people will use these programs in many ways and never connect the fact that they are being helped by the government. I cannot decide if they are stupid or just hard headed. Even sadder is they will suffer from loss of these programs and allow the wealthy people and corporations to become stronger at their expense. Every time someone tells them I have a plan that will make times great again, trust me, the good conservatives will vote for that person. Remember the X Files? I want to believe that is the conservative reasoning. It always has been that way, is now and, I guess, it always will be. Have a great holiday season and we will hit it again next year.
