THE CANCER OF LIES

When the right wants to deny healthcare for the vast majority of Americans they point out to the incredible cost asking how would we balance the budget? No mention (of course) of tax cuts for themselves which really helps imbalance the budget. But what they talk about is the high cost of lingering diseases, not mentioned by name but of course cancer is right up there with those. Interestingly, the American Cancer Society has just come out with figures (and so far they are not disputed) that cancer is only 5% of the healthcare in this country. Interesting, and while it’s been more expensive than it was decades ago, we shouldn’t consider the expense, we should consider the savings.

E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
