Finding Meaning in Meanness 0
One of the notable aspects of today’s Republican Party, other than the whole making-the-rich-richer-and-the poor-poorer thing that has been the staple of Republicanism for decades, is its mean-spiritedness.
Shaun Mullen captures it well.
Aside:
I don’t agree with Shaun about Medicaid or Medicare. I have known persons on Medicaid and Medicare and seen the type of nursing homes that sick or aging Medicaid and Medicare patients who have no other means get stashed in.
They provide “get-by” care at best.
Calling them “entitlements” is akin to calling the privilege of not dying from a curable disease an “entitlement.”
But, in Republican world, not dying from a curable disease is an entit–oh, never mind.
