The big G-20 Summit in Japan has come and gone. The politicians returned to their respective nations and all declared that things are getting better: if you only do as I say, excuse me, suggest. President Trump made a gambit to use for his re-election in 2020. He was very close to North Korea. Why not try and get some future relations with that nation after the two non-fruitful meetings? He succeeded in one aspect, now he can say during his re-election campaign that he is the only sitting president to step foot in North Korea. However, did he get any results in the nuclear arms agenda? No! This is BS! Dear Reader, this is baseball season. In baseball if you whiff after three swings, you're out. Trump struck out!
North Korea has played this nuclear card threat game for 50 years. They know that they have their big Communist brother, China backing them up. This takes me back to the political games just prior to the summit.
Bullying!
The Chinese premier, XI stated that China would not be bullied into any trade deals. Without naming names, we all know that he was referring to President Trump and his use of tariffs. This guy has gall beyond gall! He is the poster child for Hypocrites!
China demands that any company wishing to enter the Chinese market, agree to become a Chinese company. This means that Apple in China is a Chinese company as well as Mercedes and every other entity that does business in China.
The demands get worse! Every company must transfer its technology or blueprint of their
product to which they may manufacture to sell there or export. This is how the Chinese steal product knowledge and by-pass patents. Our government was corrupt in allowing our companies to do business with China with those demands. The guilt is in both the Republicans and Democrats to which is why we say here at Evolution of Democracy that we need a third political party in the US. That party should begin with two basic ideas: Protect US workers and end our military use at our border.
By the way, China has some of the highest tariffs in the world along with Japan and the EU. They are all BS artists! If you are keeping score, this is the third time tariffs swing for a hit in the trade talks. The negotiations struck out. That's two down or two outs, whatever you prefer.
The bond market has been screaming inversion! Alan Greenspan just said, "The bond market is in a bubble. This will be the crisis." Folks, the inning is over because this is the third out. Recession is coming! If you doubt that prediction, here is a recap of the democratic debate.
Democratic Debate
Did you watch any of this? I tuned it in. To be honest, there is only so much crap that I can bear to hear. With that said, I found these two points that I want to rant upon.
1) The moderators are programmed idiots! You can see that after you realize the questions that they ask and how the many issues inter-relate.
2) There was no one there that should be our president. The only member of the ten among the Democrats that showed any truthful and thoughtfulness behind her answers was Maryanne Williamson.
Where to begin?
Healthcare...
was a topic for both nights. My rants is addressed to the second night. Every candidate had a motion about healthcare. Biden still backs the Obama, ACA. The rest pushed a variation of Medicare for all. This is where I enter. Neither the moderator nor any candidate explained the facts about Medicare.
First of all, Medicare is a paid plan. When you reach the age of 65, you must pay into the plan whether you use it or not. If you delay collecting Social Security, this expense is costly. Bernie says his plan is like the First Payer Plan. My understanding of that plan is that it is a free medical program that is paid by the government for everybody and it covers everything. Medicare only covers 80% and it does not cover everything. By the way, Bernie says that taxes will go up to pay for his version to which has not been revealed as of yet.
None of the candidates or the moderators ever mentioned the fact that Medicare is like medical insurance. You have to pay into it and it does not cover every medical need with a 20% gap that the individual must cover.
The next issue shows the complete phoniness of senator, Kamala Harris and congressman, Beto O'Rourke.
The moderator changed the topic to the illegals at the Southern Border. She asked, "Would you allow medical to illegals?" The question is not even a question. The moderator should know that any illegal who enters a US hospital will receive health care at the US taxpayer's expense. In addition, the two states that suffer the most expenses due to this medical aspect is, California and Texas. Neither candidate that I mentioned above answered this question truthfully. Why, you ask? Because they want the Hispanic vote. They should have stated the truth. Many illegals enter the US to receive free medical. They know this. They also know if a woman gets pregnant and she can slip across the border, the pluses multiply. She gets free medical. Her child automatically becomes a US citizen to which she can use to enter the US. You read it here, but you didn't hear it there. God help America because none of the Democrats will.
