Cassi Creek: this
editorial cartoon truly says all I would try to say if I were more erudite. I’ve seen many of the social safety nets put
into place by previous administrations that believed we have an obligation as a
nation to care for our aged and infirm citizens.
Sadly, since the
Reagan era, a disdain for anyone but the rich and the very rich has taken the
place of concern for all citizens. The
facilities that cared for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled have
been emptied, creating a new level of homelessness that is truly
disgraceful. Because Reagan his owners
got by with that, Subsequent GOP administrations and majorities have followed
on by attacking the poor, the aged, the sick, the homeless, and every other
aspect of our social safety nets while repeatedly lowering taxes and creating
new loopholes for corporations and the ultra-rich. This must be stopped. We’ve actually created job losses so severe
that Mexican immigrants find more work in Mexico than they do here.
Sunny, in the
50’s. Hike with Mike this morning. Loki was thrilled. I made it there and back again. That’s good.
