Here is some information about Louisiana and Federal cuts to Medicaid if it's allowed to be released from the freedom loving, patriotic state of Louisiana:
You're viewing a single thread.
What do you mean Democrats don’t mention CEO salaries? I know there are lots of Democrats who point to CEO salaries across all industries, healthcare included, as the driver behind inflationary costs and the widening economic divide of services available
Certainly not enough of them. Especially not on smaller levels.
It's a sad fact, but even though so many Democrats claim to be anti establishment, many are in fact part of the establishment and receiving giant donations from banks and corporations.
It's one of the first things AOC pointed out when she was elected.
On the other hand so many Republicans claim to love small government and transparency, but many are also getting funded at the state level by some very shady corporations and groups like SPN and the heritage foundation.
The SPN is a network created by one of the earliest funders of Heritage Foundation. They use money to influence policy at the state level to make it seem like small government and representative of individuals in the state, but really it represents interests of some very powerful people and their corporations.
I'm not saying any of this as an attack on people with views that lean democratic or Republican. I only point it out because we all need to shift away from the idea of treating politics and politicians as a sports team that we have to support bc they're representing "our team."
Its kind of a sunken cost fallacy to keep supporting a team that won a championship decades ago when you realize lately they seem to be throwing a lot of games. Except with sports it is a team paid to represent a local city or state.
Politicians are humans like anyone else. There's good and bad ones and they're capable of corruption and change just like anyone else.
Black and white thinking is what got us here and what keeps dividing us as a country while individuals continue to profit from it.
