Health . . .

(from http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstories/if-socialist-candidate-bernie-sanders-was-president-heres-what-would-happen-to-the-us-economy/ar-AAfpAhN)
". . . "The great thing about Bernie Sanders is that there's no guile about him. His authenticity is pretty much based on him saying what he believes," said Middlebury University political science professor and expert in presidential politics Matt Dickinson. . . While the U.S. economy would certainly look different under a socialist Sanders presidency, it might not be as crazy as you'd think. . . (his) most significant proposals are implementing a single-payer health care system. . . As president, he would toss Obamacare and replace it with a "Medicare for all" system that he says would cost $1.38 trillion per year but save people and businesses more than $6 trillion over the next decade. . . (Gerald) Friedman . . . says the health care overhaul would enable up to $10 trillion in savings for the general public. And the other programs? Another $1.1 trillion in additional savings over 10 years. And excluding the issue of likely higher taxes, the programs could mean seven million more jobs and a nearly $4 trillion increase in economic activity in 2026. . . "

Works . . .

(from Jay Graboski at https://www.facebook.com/ohomusic/?fref=nf)
". . . So much in the works for the next OHO album: tomorrow into The Bratt studio to "fiddle about" with Ray's "3rd Hand Intelligence." In the queue are "Where Is How We Go" (lyrically based on the Guitar Craft aphorism: "Where we're going is how we get there"; "Plunge" (originally recorded by The Weaszels), David's "The One"...and new arrangements of "Your Luck Is Awake" (from "UP") and a 3/4 time version of "Lost & Found" from "Audition." These are in addition to the "Ahora!" suite, Ray's "Blood Brother" and other tunes that are in the process of revealing themselves. So many songs...so little time. . . "

Bad . . .

. . . all over . . .

(from Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders with Huck Gutman, afterword by John Nichols)
". . . After the "Republican wave" election of 2010 gave the GOP control of the U.S. House, a stronger position in the Senate, and dominance of statehouses across the country, Sanders argued that the Obama administration and congressional Democrats needed to draw dramatically clearer lines in the sand on economic issues. Instead, President Obama cut a deal with congressional Republicans to extend Bush-era tax breaks for billionaires and create a sweeping estate-tax exemption for millionaires. It was not just bad politics, Sanders said, it was bad economics. . . "

Afterword . . .

(from Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders with Huck Gutman, Afterword by John Nichols)
". . . Sanders was outspent and crudely attacked in the 2006 race - especially for his lonely votes to defend civil liberties. Yet he secured the Senate seat that for a century and a half had been won only be Republicans, taking 65 percent of the vote to just 32 percent for Tarrant. Sanders won every county in the state by a landslide, and carried even conservative communities. All those town hall meetings over all those years, all that talk about kitchen-table economics, had forged a connection that could not be severed by big money and negative ads. "Maybe that's the lesson of Bernie," explained Margrete Strand Rangnes. "He doesn't worry so much about winning one election. He's in it for the long haul, because that's how you build the awareness and the trust that allows you to get beyond the spin and talk to people about the real issues in their lives. . . "

Exaggerated?. . .

(from http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/most-americans-think-hillary-clinton-is-going-to-be-the-next-president/ar-BBoOuYU?ocid=iehp)
"Most Americans think Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president"

Does MSN REALLY know what MOST Americans think??? I doubt it.

Cowboys . . .

". . . Dwight Hammond Jr., 73, and his 46-year-old son, Steven, are due to report to federal prison on Monday to serve five-year prison terms. The men were convicted by a jury of their peers in 2012 on arson charges stemming from a pair of fires (The Hammonds set ). . . that ultimately burned 139 acres of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. . . the federal anti-terrorism law that prosecutors used to punish the fires includes mandatory minimum sentences of 5 years for fires that damage public property but cause no injury or death. After a series of appeals, the Hammonds were re-sentenced in October of 2015 to the full five years required by that 1990s statute . . . Militia members have taken over the tile-roofed stone cottage on the south shore of the lake that serves as headquarters for the refuge . . . While frustrations and friction between federal land management agencies and ranchers are widespread, the vast majority of private citizens from communities affected by these issues do not share the radicalism that animates Bundy’s armed occupiers. . . The idea that federal authority over public lands is illegitimate has caught the attention of a variety of extremist groups that are convinced the government will sooner or later turn arms against its own people. . .
