If you look dead center, you'll see a "broken heart". Only visible if there's snow and the light is just right. My client pointed it out to me and I wished I had a longer lens with me.

Winter Silence, Red Sun. New #minimalist #painting I truly enjoyed creating. 8x8 Available. The red sun becomes the emotional anchor of the painting, radiating warmth against the cool austerity of winter. #art #artistsofbluesky #contemporaryart #modernart #abstractart #landscapepainting

President Trump was right in 2020:

"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

Dems also have implement good policies. Universal health care would be a good start. Executive order, by any means necessary.

I listen to the Prague radio online. It’s state run, several stations. They have book reading, radio plays, news, interviews, pretty cool. Commercials free.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon proposed the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) for universal coverage based on private insurance, employer mandates, and federal subsidies for the poor. Senator Edward Kennedy, advocating a single-payer "Health Security Act" initially engaged in negotiations but ultimately did not strike a deal, later calling it his greatest regret.

Key Aspects of the 1974 Nixon-Kennedy Health Debate:
Nixon's CHIP: Proposed a three-part plan: employer-mandated private insurance, a federalized, upgraded plan for the poor replacing Medicaid, and subsidized insurance for the self-employed.
Kennedy's Approach: Senator Kennedy pushed for a more liberal, single-payer, government-run system (Health Security Act).
The Failure to Compromise: Despite both aiming for expanded coverage, negotiations broke down. Kennedy feared Nixon’s plan was too reliant on private insurers and did not provide comprehensive enough coverage.
Historical Significance: The failure of this compromise meant a missed opportunity for universal coverage, delaying major U.S. health reform for decades.

Nixon’s proposal was considered quite liberal for a Republican, aiming to curb rising costs while expanding access, similar to elements found later in the Affordable Care Act.

We can hope and We Need To Speak UP! BTW- if you google "Nixon, Edward Kennedy, universal health care" you can find out how this issue has dragged for now 50 freaking years. Ed Kennedy dropped the issue because he didn't want the GOP president to get the glory of doing something decent for people.

Yup. Universal health is not in the GOP playbook or the Dems playbook.

How about universal health care for everyone? So people don’t have to gofundme their survival.
