We need STABILITY in our Governance, it won't happen until Trump is gone..!!!
He cannot fill position with qualified people, and the musical chairs game has gotten old and the song and dance around the seats has been and continues to be a disaster for the nation and its people, its a disaster for our global relations.
He has done nothing but increase the gap the wealthy have over the working poor.
I think the DNC should call a meeting with All Candidates and help them merge their policy idea's into a cohesion that can be conveyed to the people... as a "unified message" of policy, programs and methods and means that will be pursued.
It is not going to happen under Republicanism!!!
I think Sanders should "explain to people" how Medicare for All Works - ( as AN OPTIONS)
Under that Option... (he should modify his stand and message) (
EVERYONE has Medicare deductions from their paycheck
until age 65, regardless of what age under 65 they elect the option of Medicare for All (who want it) CURRENTLY, even at age 65 people still have to pay for PART B, .. except under some of the Part C Plans.
1. Medicare for All - would be a Public Option, those who want it can and those who don't can choose another options
2. Under Medicare for All... (Year 1) lower the age to 55 to coverage option, as he said in the first year, BUT, those who are 55 must still have their payroll deduction for medicare deduced.
3. Under Medicare for All... (Year 2) lower the age to 45, as he said in the first year, BUT, those who are 45 must still have their payroll deduction for medicare deduced.
4. Under Medicare for All... (Year 3) lower the age to 35, as he said in the first year, BUT, those who are 35 must still have their payroll deduction for medicare deduced.
5. Under Medicare for All... (Year 4) lower the age to (any), as he said in the first year, BUT, those who are 35 must still have their payroll deduction for medicare deduced.
6. Children are covered under the plan their parents choose, and for that, the payroll deduction will have a small % increase for each child,
7. Lease the Public Option for those who want to keep what they have.
8. Those who want to Join the ACA Exchange can do so, the medical coverage expense under ACA will be the same as what Medicare Pays to Medical Providers, ACA will sell PART C
type plans, (or they can be the designee for PART C).. this will ensure people have lower premiums and the cost for medical care to providers will work the same as it does under Medicare. Basically, ACA would mirror Medicare... People who have no job, would be covered under ACA original standards.
ACA will coordinate with HUD, to ensure any persons "not working" are enrolled in job training programs, and can utilize HUD benefits until they are skill trained and are placed in a job positions.
Disabled will still be covered under Medicare and Medicaid.
This will free up funds used for other programs to be used for "Job Skill Development"..
So, people fit into the category (1-4) of being:
1. Children Under 18,
2. 18-55 enrolled in Job Skill Training,
3. Working,
4. Past Age 65 or Disabled.
This covers our General Society with Categorical Coverage
That's
Three Options for General Public Medical Coverage...
We don't need 50 ideas... we need basically 3, that give the options for people to choose.
As to Education:
STEP ONE.
1. RETURN "COMMUNITY COLLEGES" back to the Low Cost format they were BEFORE
"RONALD REAGAN SCREWED IT UP".
2. (Year 2) RETURN "STATE UNIVERSITIES" back to the Low Cost format they were BEFORE
"RONALD REAGAN SCREWED IT UP".
Economy:
1. Return to the Principles of Why the Stock Market was created, and...
2. Return to "QUARTERLY REPORTING" based on "ACTUAL PRODUCTION AND ACTUAL SALES".... and control the madness of the system built upon speculation.
3. Stop Companies from using "Extreme Debt" to overtake other companies. Make it Law, that NO COMPANY can Finance more than 25% of the cost of taking over another company, and if a company they seek to take over has existing debt, that debt must be paid by the company seeking to buy the company with the debt.
4. We won't have companies that are "over leveraged"!!!!
5. Eliminate Stock Options for Executives, Any Stock Options Cost Reduction must be provide to ALL employees on a equal cost basis.
6. Executive Bonus, 'cannot exceed the "yearly salary of the lowest paid employee", and Executive cannot get more than one bonus a year.
7. Cap Executive Compensation of any PUBLIC TRADED COMPANY, to be nor more than 100 times the lowest employee's hourly wage.
