I was a bit shocked at Nancy Pelosi.
She looked like she just rolled out of bed.
Then the F-U look she gave Trump when he singled her out with "Obamacare.

I dunno. How did a pathological liar get elected?

I honestly couldn't be more proud of him. This was truly presidential, and spoke to the better angels in all of us.

If Trump can rise above his own juvenile behavior and immaturity that comes through at times, he has a vision to be the greatest President in any of our lifetimes.

What's amazing is that he is a perfect reflection of our flawed culture - its heights, failings, everything. The thing is when people see Donald Trump, they see themselves, the reality TV star, the man that has everything - he is everything most want to be, yet his attitude is nothing many want to be. It is a conundrum, and what makes him the perfect President for this day and age.

There is another trend, people in UK/Europe don't get married anymore, they just have children out of wedlock. When the safety net is good, why bother.
That has zero to do with health care and you know it.

I think the safety net in the UK is too big, too many things are free. They even tried the free college, which didn't work, of course. Too much free housing for people who could afford to pay something. But having free health care isn't the cause of people not working. It's things like free housing and child credit allowance--I think they get paid to have kids or paid to stay home and take care of them, something crazy that really does stop people from working. You need to have a safety net and the UK is starting to rein it in because they went too far. We are nowhere as far as they are--we are still trying to get the basic health care. People will work to get a house, car, vacation trip. People will always work when it pays to work.

Health care isn't the reason people in some countries don't work. Health care isn't the reason people don't get married either. Take another look at the UK--or Canada or any other country with health care not tied to a job. People work.
