(1,785 posts)that whenever we are in office, very little happens. We have ideas. But the needle doesn't move very far. We have big goals. But do HUGE things like universal health care happen? No.
Then the republicans get in office and they make HUGE sweeping changes. I am horrified by the huge changes that are happening at the moment, but I think we need ask ourselves WHY when we are in power... we seem to have an aww, shucks, can't get nothing done, gotta play by the rules sort of attitude, and when they are in power, they do things.
I have to wonder if we rolled up our sleeves and were a little less dainty about it, if we would roll in change with slashing drug prices and universal health care and if people would get so used to those things being provided to everyone and not having to go bankrupt to afford your meds that they would not be willing to go back.
