Medicare for All at the Polls

Single-payer might be the issue that blows the Trump Administration and the Republican Party apart.

Such reporting and polls raise serious doubts about the ideas that there is a Trump movement and the notion that Trump is the GOP’s leader. A notion to consider is that Trump is the Republicans’ figurehead who does not represent the party or even his own administration.

Healthcare might be issue that lures many Trump voters back into the Democratic fold.

One has to wonder who will be the first Republican leader to drink the single-payer Kool Aid. My money is on Donald J. Trump who personally favors the idea. My prediction is that Trump will unveil some sort of single-payer light proposal if he plans to run for reelection in 2020.

A Few Policies that could Help Save the American Middle Class

Effectively increase the income of many middle class families because they would no longer have to save for children’s college tuition. If a family is currently saving $1,000 a month for college, its income would increase by $1,000 a month. This would create more spending and stimulate the economy. Many families would enjoy a better lifestyle and parents would be able to save more for retirement.
