GOP’s Healthcare Plan

I saw this online and laughed–tragically. What the picture doesn’t include is that the airport security equipment is increasing your risk for cancer to increase the profits of the healthcare industry you already can’t afford. (I’ll never forget the tobacco industry executives declaration before Congress that no evidence exists to indicate that smoking is bad for your health.) Never in… Continue reading

What Can Be Said?!

This graphic has been circulating the web… While nothing more needs to be said, I will add this thought: If our government were more representative of our nation‘s actual population in race, gender, age, and income brackets, the policies of this nation would be vastly different than they currently are.
