I agree with you on one thing. The U.S needs to sort out its healthcare system. But I just do not know how much more left wing you can go without destroying the country. It baffles me.
By the standard of Putin’s Russia, yes, the entire West is far more to the left. Russia is content with autocratic rule. By the standards of the progressive period from FDR to LBJ, we have been stuck well to the right. By the standard’s of Putin’s Russia you could call the Republican presidents of the unravelling people in the center easily, but not by the standard of what a boomer saw during the formative years when his world view is formed.
Correct on health care, but out entire domestic spending policy has been gutted thanks to a dedication to elitism, racism and small government. We are well behind most of the industrial west. If you want to become not baffled look a bit at Europe.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
