I certainly do not begrudge improving relations with Russia. I have hoped for that throughout my lifetime. But, this "friendship" has a creepy feel to it. Like, maybe, 'somebody' is selling out his country. (Shiver!) Happy New Year...

This bipartisan effort is something Americans can be proud of. Lowering the prison population and giving people back their lives is a great gift. I am hoping for more examples of working across the aisle in the coming months.

Weighing out how to spend $5 billion is an interesting exercise. The majority of Americans do not support spending that much money on a wall to keep threatened families out of the U.S.

How do you want your tax dollars spent?

In the last 70 years, we have involved ourselves in the destabilization of countries around the world. When we have destabilized the economy and the public services, we have people who race in to help rebuild by privatizing those public services. People die, lose their homes and families, and companies walk away with money in their pockets. This is how Trump and his cronies spend our tax dollars.

Vote! and choose how profits are made...

The math is pretty easy... The more people who have money to spend, the more money they will spend, the more profits will be made. Of course, it is also true that the more people incarcerated, the more profits are made, and the more disruption in 3rd world countries, the more privatizing of public services, the more profits are made, and the more bombs that are dropped, the more profits are made. We need to vote for how we want the wealthy to get their wealth.

Use our tax dollars for the good of all.

This is not the America I have known. Our tax dollars should be used to benefit the people who pay those taxes, not for giving profits to people who incarcerate people who are standing up against injustice. And, not for imprisoning families who are fleeing injustice and violence in their own countries. Use our tax dollars for the good of all, not the few.

Multi-millions spent to put on a show. Now the troops are heading home. I can't help but think of all the ways those millions could have been spent that would have benefited so many people. It was just a show for the election.
