This is what's wrong with American politics and our tax dollars at work. We can't have health insurance for Americans so we can have showerheads for the rich. Of course we can. Good job, America!

By that metric, we can assault Venezuela but we cannot afford free education; we can arm the Ukraine, but we cannot afford free childcare.

Nice! There was, I believe, a Princeton study that showed American pubic opinion had practically zero effect on legislation, so it is surprising to see Ms Salazar bending to the will of her constituency. This is welcome and could predict a Republican Party that is not in lock-step with President Trump and could obviate the billions spent by 'interests' to manipulate and interfere in elections. Perhaps if the American people could be inspired, democracy might have a chance.

There is a reason when other people talk about contacting their Congress critters about various things I know better than to even try. I live in a red area my Congress critters would let all of Florida burn if it pleased their corporate overlords.
