Realistic Politics

 

With the upcoming presidential election we need to make dramatic changes to our government and it needs to be made by replacing every single legislator that is up for re-election and they all need to be replaced by those that agree with Bernie Sanders.

That is not going to make us a Socialist Nation. It will help put us back to the 70s and early 80s and the 90s while Clinton was in office that would make the economy incredibly great.

The Cabinet needs to be replaced by regular people that understand all the terrible issues in effect. Obviously we would need a lawyer for the Attorney General and a Doctor for the Secretary of Health and Human Services but the rest of the cabinet needs to be regular citizens instead of people that the wealthy are pushing for the Senate to approve.

If I was President my Attorney General would be spending some serious time investigating and prosecuting the Rich People and the Corporations that are “hiring” our legislators. The legislators that are accepting the “hiring” offers would be prosecuted as well.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services would be in charge of the Single Payer health plan that the government would pay for and it would save incredible amounts of money since the secretary and the congress that follows Bernie would go to all of the Health care providers and big pharma and tell them that “THIS” is what you will get paid and you ‘WILL” accept it. That is how things are so much more inexpensive overseas because the governments over there are not allowing big pharma and health care providers to trash their citizens by charging hundreds of times what the cost actually should be.

Setting those prices will not bankrupt big Pharma because I would not want them to lose money but I will not allow them to lie to us about what they need to charge.

The Secretary of Labor would be someone that has spent years working in hideous positions where the corporate leaders treat the employees like dirt. That happens in a lot of places. For instance over the winter if there is a horrible storm that drops all kinds of snow and ice and makes driving terribly dangerous what comes from local managers or directors is basically just an email telling them to be careful but to leave early enough that they will not be late. I will have that director help any employee that is injured on the way to work since they were not offered the chance to not go in that day. We will help them sue the company if they are injured and we will work on a class action lawsuit to get money given to the employees that were stressed out by the drive because the leadership obviously does not care if any of their employees are killed because they can bring in new employees in many cases at much lower pay rates.

I will also be working with the Congress to put into effect a law that will make price gouging illegal under any circumstances. When a company is selling things and making more than a 25%-30% profit their pricing will become controlled by the government. I am not ever looking to make a company fail completely and go bankrupt but there is absolutely not ethical or moral reason to charge people so much money that it is painful.

I have contacted the Bernie Sanders group and will be happy to join them in making sure that he can win. And I am one who can show how many telecommunications companies are lying to the government. I can show up at the house prior to a tech arriving and I will be a “neighbor” or a “member of the family” so to speak so I will watch the tech and see what bullshit he is required to do. I have an enormous background with Internet, Phone Service and TV service so the techs will not be able to blow smoke at me.

How Extreme Conservative Politics is Going to Destroy our Middle Class and in Some Cases Kill Many of our Elderly Retirees Surviving on Social Security.

 

We desperately need to rid our government of extreme party politicians. Some of the extreme Democrats are not great but most of the extremely conservative Republicans are hideous and should not even be allowed to do anything at all except live on the average 1200-1300 a month that is the average Social Security payment or only be allowed to get paid the minimum wage.

Extreme conservatives have been helping the Oligarchs find way to cut hours and cut pay rates for years. The most that I have made in the last 7 years is significantly less than my starting salary at a company 11 years ago. The fact that the government has allowed companies to abuse their employees that way is awful. In some cases companies were losing money but most of the large corporations that have cut jobs and salaries had absolutely no need to do so because they had no pain at all during the recession and were making record setting profits.

Banks took a hit during the recession but they received enormous amounts of money from the government and the only employees that were helped with that money were the executives.

The government does not need to go with a completely socialist healthcare system but the government should be going to Big Pharma and saying “THIS” is what you will charge and set all medication costs at reasonable levels. My wife's cancer medication is now 18000 dollars a month since the dosage was raised. This medication was created and released about 15 years ago. The R&D costs were around 2 billion dollars. The company has made over 16 billion dollars just from this medication and they continue to raise the cost dramatically every year.

If the extreme conservatives continue to allow Big Pharma to do that they will be using the frequent deaths of all of those that can not afford their healthcare as a way to lower government spending instead of setting the costs and making the Oligarchs pay taxes on all the money they have managed to hide throw through the stupid loopholes that help no one but the very rich.
