I agree with that. I don't blindly follow the Republican party . My point here is that free stuff for all will never work no matter how you try to crunch the numbers.

I agree with you on the free stuff. Yes, it is getting carried away. Sometimes, It makes me shudder.

However, majority of us are willing to pay for universal healthcare. We need to talk about it instead of just shutting it down. I agree we need more specifics put out there. It doesn’t help when we watch debates and the candidates get 30 seconds to cover a topic and most of the time they have someone talking over them.

Problem is is focus on fighting with each other about free stuff when we should be fighting together about getting rid of spending money overseas when that 10-20-30 billions which I’m sure is probably much much higher could be used HERE in the USA to create hundreds of thousands of jobs that have good healthcare? You want a border wall? How about you use 10 billion to give jobs to put guards on the border? How about we put in laws that make it so that our Representatives actually have to work for us instead of the corporations? How about we focus on putting in laws where our presidents get a million dollars for a guest speaking gig after they leave office? We focus on the wrong issues

For the last 6 months all we heard from the ,”industry experts”, was the sky was falling on class 8 truck sales. Truck builder layoffs, freight rates falling,surplus of drivers from companies closing, worries of how companies were going to be able to retain and pay these huge, pay raises, they gave. Now they have record sales in September.
