Another election consequence

[Ohiogal]

From a newsletter in my email today from Paul Krugman:

“Finally, the Trump administration seems both woefully and willfully unprepared to deal with a public health crisis. President Obama created a global disease “czar” to deal with Ebola; Trump eliminated the position, and substantially cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control, because his administration didn’t consider pandemics a significant national security threat.”

But, an immigrant coming here who needs food stamps is a “national security threat”?

1. An immigrant who gets food stamps

is competition for trump who wants every nickel he can squeeze out of this gig. Trump is unlikely to get sick from an outbreak. That's a problem for others.

2. and I think he fired a bunch of people at the CDC

and has never replaced them... at least I think Racheal said this on her show last night.

4. how so?

The vast majority of my posts are not about the primaries.

I just get tired of the constant "get on board the Bernie train" and the "the primaries are over" attitude of the Bernie crowd.

I will vote blue no matter who.

I think Bernie will cost us the election and the House (and any chance at the Senate).

But that's my opinion... I'm sure you have yours. You are welcome to your opinion.
