The current system of politicians running countries is not working. We need technocrats - scientists, psychologists, educators, designers and so on looking at our current problems and posing solutions. The current system is unsustainable and unfortunately those who are attracted to power are not those who should be running countries.The Yum Listhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401523207811915718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-53165098099860401882017-05-30T12:31:13.873-07:002017-05-30T12:31:13.873-07:00You wonder who makes the rules for SNAP.

Okay, I know that fried chicken may not be the healthiest food, but if I were a single mom working all day at a low-paying job, I would sometimes want to take home a box of fried chicken. Fried chicken is healthier than chips, cookies, pastries and some of the other stuff you are allowed to buy. Also, I work at a community food pantry stocking the shelves with donations. We get lots of stuff of that's not good for people--lots of packaged "side" dishes such as small, expensive envelopes of noodles with green spots (supposedly broccoli) while donated potatoes, yams, cabbages, apples just sit in the bins. And don't get me started on donations of ramen noodles. For $1, you can donate five packets which will raise the client's blood pressure sky high.

Yet, they'll blame it on those who would work for their best interests, all in the name of religion. <br /><br />There's a reason they go after education. If people were more informed, they'd never keep these chuckle heads in power.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-37435832869513415872017-05-30T08:37:46.816-07:002017-05-30T08:37:46.816-07:00A post with lots to study and think about.

I have no idea what the qualifications were to get it but I knew people who got it and was giving it out to other people because they had more then they needed. I guess that is better then it going to waste.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-69515116904847480612017-05-30T04:47:09.877-07:002017-05-30T04:47:09.877-07:00Very thoughtful post, Dora, you know where I stan...Very thoughtful post, Dora, you know where I stand on the issues, I'm right there with you.songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-78949004022166566862017-05-30T04:20:11.765-07:002017-05-30T04:20:11.765-07:00Yes, I too wondered about government cheese.

If you have painful knee or need a hip replacement, good luck with that. You will wait quite some time for treatment. But if you have a heart attack or cancer, you will get first class treatment at no cost. Having said that, at times things go wrong in the public health system, but they do in the private system too.

Those on food stamps? <br />I think a nationwide Medicare system is a good idea, I know a lot of Americans don't want it, but we have it here in Australia and it means everyone can get medical attention when they need it. Those who can afford private health care are still encouraged to buy that and everyone over a certain income pays a Medicare levy at tax time. It's a small levy, so no one complains.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
