My Choice for President is a person with a proven track record. This track record includes a public life of caring for our children and their fellow human beings. Additionally, this person is also for change, but for change that can actually happen. Not for empty promises. Anyone can run around advocating change, but it takes a real action person to do it. The action person that I have chosen is...Hillary Clinton.
I ask you how can someone that does not have the experience to deal with major financial upheavals, diplomatic nightmares, and overall bad situations? The answer is -- they can't...If you think our country is a mess right now, one of the potential candidates has just the right amount of support and the right amount of inexperience to really make the situation a nightmare. You know of whom I speak!!!
Next, I love America. Since the American Revolution, my family has shed blood for our country in virtually every war that has been fought. The current situation that we are in with Iraqi just sickens me. I am deeply saddened that so many of our finest young men and women have lost their lives and that so many more will lose their lives. I am just stupified that our country had a decent surplus before the Current President's term and it has been squandered away for nought. Additionally, currently,
we have a health care system that is run by for profit companies and it is obviously not in their best interest to take care of their policyholders. Unfortunately, the management of these companies are paid based upon the profits. NOT, on how well the policy holders are taken care of...From personal experience, I know families that pay $1,000 per month for their healthcare coverage (with high co-pays and deductibles). With a decent National healthcare plan and even if we had to raise taxes to pay for it, it would not cost $1,00o per month. It only makes sense to have someone in charge of our healthcare whose main goal is healthcare and not profits. If you think of it this way...National Healthcare only makes sense...after all, police departments and fire departments are the same thing. Would you even think about privatizing those? Of course not, for it is in the best interest of our society for our government to take care of those basic services. Healthcare should be a basic service and handled the same way. Least we all forget, we are our BROTHERS KEEPER. That is the bottom line of everything...And so, the insanity continues...
