Our country was blessed at one time with office holders, both appointed as well as elected, whose integrity and acumen were essential to the health of our people and our republic. The infestation of money by selfish interests has diminished the longevity of both our people and our republic.

I need to hand it to the Republicans. McConnell is only the latest case in point about their party's overt corruption, executed with a panache that is legion. Their "Holy Trinity" is lie, cheat, and steal and they do so with such aplomb that we are left shaking our heads. Voters' Stockholm Syndrome

Capitalism works well in this country because it has boundaries - the social safety net. The latter programs are "socialist" in nature as are public schools, roads, police and fire departments, etc. Walsh should not clutch his pearls over programs without which we would degenerate into Calcutta.
