Craig Murray

Everything I might want to say about the accession of Donald Trump is being said better than I could possibly say it- and from a position of authority that I cannot command- by craig_murray. I urge you all to read him- and add him to your friend's list.

I can't find the article on the BBC site now, but earlier today I was reading that Trump has already put things in motion to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). That is going to hurt a lot of poor Americans, including plenty of the people who voted for him.

I believe that's the case.

It's repeal-and-replace and I suspect it's going to be Kabuki -- tinker around the edges and convince his base that he done good. I'm sure his handlers know that if he makes a Big Mess there will be a big push for single payer in 2018-2020, and there go all those Big Pharma and Big Insurance payoffs.
