This is sickening.
One can only hope that enough people will head to the polls with the same sickening feeling and the better choice will be made. It does though, take the realization that the largest benefit to oneself will only be realized if a person makes sure that his/her neighbors and future self may come to depend on the safety nets we devise together as a democratic nation.
Agreed. I hope his plan gets the brutal scrutiny it deserves. So far, the media narrative on it has simply been how 'bold', 'brave', and 'visionary' the plans is. Can't really argue that, but that tells people nothing. The media needs to clearly convey the logical outcome of the plan to the people.
The worst thing about these intentions IMHO, is that this would not be enacted by shrinking government, but by starving the beast (the easier of two), which actually means only cutting that which isn't protected by the most powerful people. It would be a dash into a third world plutocracy.
America can best be understood as a third world country. A very rich and powerful one.
