For the Love of America

I am a political nerd. I like to watch C-SPAN when I can. This week I knew something special was going to happen. In case you missed it, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker was on the Senate floor for over 25 hours. The man did not stop speaking. He did not sit down unless he was asked a question. He answered the question despite that, he did not sit down! Most Americans feel unheard by their elected officials. Many of the senator’s words were reading letters from his constituents to protect Medicaid. The Medicaid program is not healthcare, it is a lifeline for millions of Americans. Senator Booker, thank you for hearing us.

I still don’t understand how cutting 880 billion dollars over 10 years is the best path forward for America. Are The prices of eggs going to go down? One in three children who use these benefits are they going to be okay? So many counties nationwide use the Meals on Wheels program to feed older adults. Can local municipalities be ready to pick up the cost? Can they even do so? Yes, the American way of life is expensive, but we cannot save costs at the expense of the most vulnerable. Individuals with disabilities are so strong they need the right support and the opportunities to show it.

1 Corinthians 3:10 NIV By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.

I understand and will fully admit that the government can be way too big. I’m a capitalist through and through. This website is where I sell my books and other works. Americans do need more money in their pocket, but this is not how to do it. When a doctor takes a sample for a biopsy, they use a scalpel, not a hacksaw! If you are going to switch to a new mode of operation, then give people a chance to learn so they can follow it. This week, Secretary Kennedy and President Trump cut a lot of positions from the Department of Human Services. That is a prerogative. What’s wrong is how they do it. Depending on the position, they’re not offered a severance package. You cannot build America without its people.

Is there a formula that decides what jobs are needed and what jobs are not? Are these decisions being made by artificial intelligence? How do you value an American life? I want the best for vongressional representatives, senators, and president Trump. I want the best for the American people. America will not be the best if we leave others behind. The next building, a strong future, means using all Americans.

Senator Booker gave us a call to action. A lot of us cannot go, march in Washington, DC. I have another idea post video of your day post them all over social media. Show yourself getting out of bed with twheelsgiver. show yourself with your husband or wife going to the store. If you deliver Meals on Wheels, then take a picture with the person you gave the food to. Let those in power see the smiles on our faces. Help them remember that brief moment also built America. America is more than money. America is neighbors helping each other. America is everyone doing the part. America is alive. Either we all thrive or we will not survive. Thank you for your time.
