Speaker Pelosi also needs to look into a profound problem in Syria and Turkey in that there are American military personnel left alone to find a safe route home. If she could please bring her powers to bear, the military personnel can be brought home after razing their military outpost to prevent Russia from benefiting from the withdrawal. They need someone in Washington, DC to help.

Why is there ever shortagss of VITAL medications? Why? The 11 year patent expire? No PROFIT in it? THE USA IS STRUCTURED WRONG!
Let's see when "the hospital" was replaced by "the healthcare network" it was said to eliminate waste and reduce spending in order to lower health care costs. Now, the healthcare system in the USA is run by CEOs rather than MDs. The CEOs ration the services of the medical profession, dictate the hospital stay of patients and profit the entire time.
WHAT CEO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS?
The American people don't receive services from the health care industry, they receive grief and nail biting. The fact is major infrastructure change has to take place in the USA, the infrastructure is at a breaking point due to profit taking and this is a prime example. Who is profiting from shortchanging American children fighting for their lives?

A critical drug that serves (click here) as the backbone of treatment for most childhood cancers, including leukemias, lymphomas and brain tumors, has become increasingly scarce, and doctors are warning that they may soon be forced to consider rationing doses.
Persistent shortages of certain drugs and medical supplies have plagued the United States for years, but physicians say the loss of this medication, vincristine, is uniquely problematic, as there is no appropriate substitute.
“This is truly a nightmare situation,” said Dr. Yoram Unguru, a pediatric oncologist at the Herman and Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital at Sinai in Baltimore. “Vincristine is our water. It’s our bread and butter. I can’t think of a disease in childhood cancer that doesn’t use vincristine.”
Shortages of the chemotherapy drug, which is on back order, will likely affect children throughout the country, he said, obligating physicians to make difficult decisions....

And what does Moscow Mitch and FOX News say about American labor? They ain't worth it.
This is the backdrop of the "Impoverishment Society."

Research shows (click here) that hiking the minimum wage to $15 would kill jobs and depress the economy at a time when it’s thriving for the American people. We are not going to be taking that up in the Senate.
Translation: Be afraid, be very afraid of losing your jobs under Democrats.

The society of impoverishment.
As the Democratic presidential (click here) candidates gather in Westerville, Ohio for the fourth primary debate on Tuesday, they would do well to acknowledge the growing public concern about the “
future of work.” As a Midwestern swing state that has an intimate history with displacement and its consequences, Ohio is a fitting place for candidates to offer more robust solutions to issues such as automation and artificial intelligence, which will likely have disproportionate impacts on certain American communities and populations, including places like Westerville....
Brookings has an interesting article today about life preparedness and reaching income equality for all people. Brookings has yet to openly tear apart the "trickle down" economic THEORY that has created this huge wealth inequality and a stagnant social dynamic that enforces impoverishment.
Trickle Down has not worked because it is ONLY a theory that when applied and evaluated is PROVED to provide wealth to the wealthy.
Brookings is correct in that education alone will not solve the problem. Education in a sophisticated society is a necessity and to that end, it should be free to all those seeking "The American Dream," however, the USA has a demoralized society due to a huge income and wealth inequality gap.
That brings me to the understanding of "sadness" at work in the USA that brings about a "failure to thrive" in the American people. The society of the USA will go on forever in this cloud of "damn it nothing the government does works," if happiness is not returned as a top priority of any government structure.
There are no handouts that can change the fact the American people give up because happiness is artificial, in-the-moment and unsustainable. The American Dream has been trickled down so much the only hope according to Wall Street is "Credit Sesame" and a vigilant credit prowess. Does the USA ever stop to realize "security" is the best way forward? The private sector is wreaking havoc on a sustainable economy which equates to a sustainable society and a secure future.
Ohio is where there is a large workforce. The people of Ohio know what work is and the ability to find it, what they don't know is how much work does it take to be happy and when does it happen to them? Ohio's minimum wage is $8.55 per hour. In a 40 hour week that is $342 a week.

Every Ohioan (click here) who works full-time should be able to support themselves and their family without worrying about being able to afford the basics. Last year, six of Ohio’s 10 most common jobs paid so little that a typical full-time worker would earn less than $26,000 and need food assistance to feed a family of three – leaving many of the state’s working people in largely the same position as they were in 2017, although some occupations and regions saw some modest improvements. Many of the most common jobs pay less than they did in 2000, when wages did more to lift working people out of poverty. In 2000, only four of the most common Ohio occupations would put a typical worker in this situation...
One of the reasons Elizabeth Warren is catching fire and getting the attention of many Americans is because she hasn't given up. She recognizes the struggle and KNOWS the struggle in the year 2020 is far, far too hard and for the most part unattainable. That is why Trump. He promised and promised but they were lies and what Americans were handed instead was again Trickle Down and Get Used to the Poverty and Make the Best of It. I haven't seen that title on the bookshelves either.
The social fabric of happiness has eroded in the USA. Happiness is unattainable and the upward movement is initially a disappointment and an assignment that "there is something wrong with the work ethic" in order to achieve happiness and the American Dream. THERE AIN'T WRONG WITH THE WORK ETHIC of the USA, IT IS JUST UNREWARDED!!!
Dr. Jill Biden needs to speak to the problem with failure in the Community College System which is seeing high "failure to complete" rates. Considering this is the primary pathway to many USA jobs, the completion rate should be the most important focus of the USA's job rehabilitation economy.
I don't want to be unfair to Dr. Biden after all her HARD work for eight years has been whittled away at for the past three, as has the integrity of good pay. What good is completing a two year degree if all that is at the end of the rainbow is $8.55 per hour?
...According to the Hechinger Report, (click here) fewer than one out of five students at community colleges obtain their desired degree in three years or less. A recent study published by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) paints a similarly grim picture by indicating that high college dropout rates cost both state and federal governments billions of dollars each year. However, do these numbers really paint an accurate picture of what is happening in community colleges and four-year institutions across the country?...
In the 2020 race for president, the answers for many Americans will be when do I feel secure in knowing my HARD work will result in sustainable happiness and wellness without fear of violence? THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT? ACTUALLY. IT IS FUNDAMENTAL GOVERNMENT 101.
Here is a campaign slogan for someone who may want it:
"Work in America Doesn't Pay Shit."

Here is a campaign slogan for someone who may want it:
"Work in America Doesn't Pay Shit."
Every candidate had a strong debate. CNN did a great job.
She doesn't need my congratulations, but, Elizabeth Warren is like the cream that rises to the top of the bottle. She has worked very hard for the American people, including Massachusetts for over a decade now at the federal level. She is ready and willing. She succeeds where others have tried to mimic her style in the past. I think Elizabeth is a unique candidate. She is not from the same cookie-cutter as past nominees have been.
Bernie Sanders looked very strong tonight. At one point I was thinking to take it easy, Bernie, but he was himself and pulling for all Americans and their health care.
I am a bit disappointed Kamala Harris' poll numbers aren't better. She stated during the week in an interview that Russia is heavily targeting her campaign. I hope the FBI is involved. I am also not surprised. Kamala Harris believes deeply in the rule of law and Putin doesn't want that.
Joe Biden looked good. He is a strong candidate and I believe Hunter needed to come out and take an interview clearing up any idea that he would be seeking work at the White House if his father was elected. I think he needed to make that stipulation to prove the difference between Trump and Joe Biden, his father. Besides being against the law that no one will enforce with the Trump kids, Trump's complaint about Hunter is laughable. It is like throwing stones when you live in a glasshouse. Trump has absolutely no reason to be picking a fight over Hunter Biden's employment, his children are deeply involved in Trump's politics and his administration. So, the entire idea Trump has a right to complain about ANYONE else and the relationship they have with their children is ridiculous.
Cory Booker is still a rock-solid Congressman with a lot of good insight and answers. I always like to hear from him.
Tulsi Gabbard needs to write a book to explain her world view of the USA military. Seriously. It is difficult to follow any comprehensive picture she paints.
Amy Klobuchar is a strong midwestern candidate. She lacks insight into what liberals and progressives bring to the table. Instead, she is trying to convince Democrats she can win where no one else can. Fine. I am sure she feels that way, but, where is the proof that as the nominee she can carry all the states needed, including the midwest. She is more right of center than I like.
Beto O'Rouke had a strong showing tonight, especially on the gun issue. He definitely began to look at gun ownership differently after the attacks in El Paso. I think he right. Those weapons are sitting in the country and ultimately they could be used for heinous outcomes. I think that has to be taken seriously.
I remember owning a couple of hunting rifles, but, when my sons were born and as they became toddlers and older I was very nervous about the guns. I had read about the nightmare scenarios of so many other children in accidents that killed them. Eventually, before the oldest was four we got rid of them. Some people are uneasy about the guns in their house and sometimes just don't know what to do. Our guns went to a gun store. Basically, he took them off our hands because we didn't want the responsibility of selling them privately. I think a gun buyback program would result in a surprisingly large number of gun owners basically getting rid of them. He is brave to bring all that up and make it an agenda. If I can akin it to anything it would be the Cash for Clunkers' idea of President Obama.
Andrew Yang clearly has a world view for the future different than any other. It has merit. Automation has definitely changed the face of employment in the USA and not necessarily for the better. I don't have a fully automated home and that is okay with me. I am not a gadget person unless it relates to science and accuracy, then you can peak my interest. But, there are Americans being left behind. I like his experiments. I think he likes to make his insight clear to people and that is saying something. He cares and he wants everyone to know he cares.
Pete Buttigieg was his usual self. I think he a good candidate with a lot of great ideas. I get stuck when he favors a year of mandatory service to the country. We have a volunteer military. He knows that. He was part of that volunteer military. It has been the USA military better than ever. I just think it is a paradigm shift that will be a disservice to the country. If he thinks young Americans need direction and discipline, then say that. There are other ways of reaching young people than mandatory to the country. That is a little to threatening to me. It means the military takes on a status that rises to more or less a draft. Every year young Americans are going to be assigned a place to serve for a year. It is too convenient to launch into war with a fresh batch of recruits every year. When reviewing what Trump is doing, to have mandatory service of our young people would be a disaster. Chow line would be donations from all the fast-food restaurants in the country. It isn't' a good idea.
Julian Castro is another Texan with very clear ideas. He is highly moral. He certainly doesn't look to be 45 years old either. He is pulling some criticism from Politifact about the job losses in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. It nearly doesn't matter, they were a clear illustration he was concerned for the people and points clearly to the failures of the Trump administration.
And last but hardly the least of the contenders is Tom Steyer. It was a good first appearance. His reputation precedes him and he reminded everyone of this dedication to the country and it's people. He has always supported noble causes that are primarily Democratic causes, but, it is pandering. Tom Steyer is a dyed in the wool American. It is a characteristic rarely seen in business people. His roll in the past has been more passive, but, times are different in the 2020 elections. He is worried about and for the country and it is not a profit motive.
We have a great slate of magnificent candidates and I hope the people choose wisely.
