POTUS 45.31: "The Caravan is Coming.""The Caravan is Coming."

Re: POTUS 45.31: "The Caravan is Coming.""The Caravan is Coming."

In my opinion, Obama will be viewed much as John Marshall Harlan's dissent in Plessy. Keep in mind this was written in 1896:



Ahead of his time and surrounded by reactionaries from an ancien regime already crumbling, Obama's intellect and demeanor and eloquence and calm and kindness will be a model that all future presidents strive to emulate.

I also believe he is a harbinger of a coming era, when we begin again to free ourselves from the serfdom of the last fifty years' bowing and scraping before the Briber Class. But even if that's not true, nothing effaces his honor and manifestation of the best America offers the world.

I've often wondered how Harlan's position could seem so intuitive now and yet so exceptional then. We know the answer, of course, but it still seems remarkable that only one of 9 supremes had his vision at that time. What is truly troubling is the thought of how many still think separate but equal is just fine.

HA! I also believe the Medicaid expansion is still with us and the 10M people getting insurance on the ACA exchanges might want to give Scooby a call.

Last time I checked GM is still with us as well.

The Medicaid expansion is only in some places, yes? Here in Maine I believe we voted to implement it (by a significant margin IIRC) but once again our governor doesn't care about our vote and the legislature lacks the will to do anything about it.

Hey, that sounds familiar...

Obama doesn't get credit for GM. That was entirely thanks to Clint Eastwood's Super Bowl ad.

31 states I believe expanded and I have simple solution for the folks in Maine. It may sound crazy, but it just might work! Ready for it?

"Vote Democratic up and down the ballot this year" Then you get your Medicaid expansion.

Osama is still dead, although I am sure Sniffles is trying to find a way to revive him.

That's an epic failure as well. We're still in Afghanistan. We learned nothing from history. EVER.

And who will pay for it?

For another, history never ends. The fascists are in the ascent now but their days are numbered; that number may be hundreds or thousands, but it's not millions.....

Reads like kep has become a believer in the laffer curve

Not the 1%. They just got another 13 trillion headed their way.

Not many of them in Maine unfortunately. Some of them have land but don’t pay any income tax to the state.

you will, if you keep voting Republican.

oh, that's right, you don't vote. don't bother being part of the solution. just keep beeching about the problem.

and oh yeah, if you keep voting Republican, there won't be a Medicare or Medicaid to pay for, so I guess you win.

Already funded by Medicaid surcharge on the rich for starters.....

I'm so sick of this question. We have the money, it's a question of how we spend it. Our priorities have been messed up for decades.

We need a better system. Single payer and everyone pays whatever percentage of their income necessary to fund it. Solutions like expanding Medicare/Medicaid aren’t going to fix anything.

Nah we should definitely give the DOD and the Pentagon all of our money and resources even when they tell us they dont want it!

Medicare for all could transition to Single Payer.
