John McCain is the modern day Benedict Arnold. He just hurt all Americans by voting no. His own state is one of the worse that is suffering from Obamacare. McCain needs to resign. He just hurt his own people in Arizona.
Tom, how wrong you are. If the Affordable Care Act collapses, it will be entirely because of the efforts of the current Congress and president. There have been constant reports in the news of the administration starving the plan through various efforts, slowing payments, closing market places, etc. The truth is that in general the Republican Party does not care if people have health care, or even access to it. They care about their donors, insurance companies . . . They decided to touch it and now it is all theirs. We should join the industrial nations of the world and go to a system of Medicare for all, taking the insurance companies out of the picture, once and for all. Medicare works and works well, it will work for everyone.

There is a constant emphasis on the need of a good education , which can only begin with good teaching . That being said I have to ask the question. Why is education such an easy field to get into?
President Donald Trump tweets taking credit for stock market, low unemployment, and good economic numbers. Typical Trump takes credit for successes (regardless if they are his) and passes blame for his failures. Sorry, but he inherited a healthy economy from former President Barack Obama. He inherited an economy that was riding high, but we’ll see how he handles long term challenges that are coming up. My guess is that he will not handle them well. But rest assured, it will be someone else’s fault when he fails.
