...remember, this is supposed to be one of our most liberal and healthy states.

How many more Democrat fixes can we afford?

All the more reason to cast an "R" vote this November.


I had the pleasure of reading an article written by a liberal emergency physician a couple weeks ago that explained his rationale for supporting Trump. The doctor said that he personally felt that Trump was a deplorable human being and his supporters were equally awful (this is debatable). However, Trump's desire to repeal the ACA was enough for him to overlook all of the issues Trump has because the ACA is going to single handedly destroy the American healthcare system.


The good doctor is right. Even those that dislike Trump's stylistic issues, should support his plan to repeal the plan destined to wreck our healthcare system.

Companies aren't selling a beans and water for $50 a pop like tylenol 3 is being sold at.

Trust me, if food was being sold for ridiculous markups the government wouldn't let that fly. Gas already has price controls in place...

Companies used to see laptops at 2k a pop until the free market and technological advances worked their magic. The government won't let the healthcare market to be free enough for capitalism to change anything. When you have government intervention at every turn...the market doesn't work.


Just imagine if the fed put price controls on laptop innovation. We'd be a decade behind and still at, if not more than $2k.
