You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting
of medicaid, which will cause many rural hospitals to close outright.

Not gonna happen, just wishful thinking on your part.  Three million
people a year are joining Medicare (the last of the baby boomers), 65
million or so at the moment, and one million a year are leaving.  That
is a huge voting block.  And seniors vote in the USA.

 That's the common belief -- and I share it.
 But it presupposes that the Republican Party is /sane/.
 Which isn't so bad a presupposition as such, but since Trump controls
the Republican Party, it presupposes that /Trump/ is sane.
 Which some of find to be rather dubious.

I can't prove he's sane.  But he has particular
objectives.  And I believe he deliberately acts
goofy in public.
But when he sets policies which threaten the
life and wellbeing of, oh, unwhite people,
poor people, sick people, women, unconventionally
sexed people, foreign people, dumb people,
smart people - I say it's because he wants to.
Technically not insane, just very evil.
