Trump, Free Education and Lena Duhham

I have become an fan of Camille Paglia who writes for Salon and teaches at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, her straight talk and insightful commentary are a joy to read, especially after the drivel that appears elsewhere in the media.

If you listen to the candidates for President living in the USA is pretty bleak, but when you compare our standard of living to European countries its not so bad, so why would we want to be like them.

You may not like some of his policies but at least Bernie Sanders tells the truth about the economy unlike the DC establishment and their false 4.9% unemployment rate.

Single Payer Health Care?

I think I would be in favor of a single payer health care system in the US and I would be willing to pay more in federal taxes to fund it, but I have concerns.  Mainly, would the government run system be like the Veterans Administration Health Care System for US veterans?
