He is definitely. Memo is to talk about his contact with Russians leading to treason but he went with his own ideas.

These guys are all A list businessmen who know how to fix big organizations. They are like the Detroit Red Wings replacing a high school hockey team. Things are going to get much more efficient.

Now I realize you and other may not like the direction, but it will move and it will no longer be stagnant.

I'm excited personally to see the education dept completely overhauled. Right now? It's as much of a failure as Obamacare.

Well as far as the business people he has chosen, I'll bet their companies don't waste money like a sieve. I am conservative and this is my BIGGEST problem with the federal government. And education cannot possibly get any worse.

I didn't think he was responding to the speech at all. I think he was replaying the same old fake news from the last month.

Funny, the current Governor told President Trump that Obama Care had failed them in Kentucky. President Trump mentioned that when talking about Obama Care. The former Governor obviously is out of touch with what is happening in his State, at least as it relates to Obama Care.

On healthcare: there is one key question: once the very affordable miraculous replacement plan is implemented (you know, the one that covers pre-existing stuff, but also let's you sign up after you get cancer) who is actually going to make LESS. Insurance? That can't be, they are losing money, right, lol? Hospitals? Ok, how? Doctors, how? There was one thing in the whole speech that can actually reduce the cost (nope, not the HSA, tort reform or insurance across state lines) - drug cost control. But I don't really think republicans know how to do it. If they do, I'll take this back (for now, just a hint - it starts with "government").

Hahaha, the donor that gave $10 million to buy her position inherited her wealth and has zero experience in "fixing big organizations".

You just like that special interests, lobbyists, crony capitalists and Wall Street fat cats get rewarded for their donations. Thats how legalized bribery in America works. YOU dont have the money to bribe the politicians you vote for, so you hope those that did bribe them are looking out for your interests and not their own.

That's not what you wrote originally. You should have stated among industrialized countries. But Singapore and Thailand don't have. They are not the level of Papa New Guinea either.

Not quite. Kentucky's praise-winning ACA healthcare system was created under Democratic, two-term Governor Steve Beshear. It is being destroyed by inexperienced, very conservative Republican Governor Matt Bevin, who has offered nothing to replace it.

Just one of a number of good things Bevin is destroying, sadly, ranging from Kentucky's highways to water quality to higher education.

Around here, we call him Trump-Lite.
