You can please all of the people some of the time,
But you can''t please all of the people all of the time!"
John Lydgate, Poet, 1370 - 1450
The real test of the leading presidential candidates is to bring this country together. We need to concentrate on solutions and not on mudslinging.
Baby boomers are aging. We spend more on type 2 diabetes care vs. Afghanistan and Iraq Wars combined.
Small businesses are the main engine that creates jobs in this country. Ever increasing health care costs is what is slowing the job creation in this country.
Many emergency rooms are completely filled. It should be a national priority to keep emergency rooms clear in case of a really big emergency.
Many homes are in foreclosure. Gas prices are too high.
Just like requiring the right chemo (or medicine) to cure a cancer (or disease.) This country needs unity and the right economic formula to reduce health care costs and repair our economic woes.
The Reagan economic tax cuts may not be the exact economic formula to repair our economic cancer; however, unity of all Americans may be part of the answer.
Good luck to all the leading presidential candidates and God bless.
