A political vent and one of the reasons we are looking outside the USA to retire. We are a few hours away from the greatest debate in the US Congress since civil rights. It is an ironic statement that the country that beacons freedom had to actually pass a Civil Rights Bill. Now we are debating another civil right, no, a human right, healthcare.
Both sides are entrenched in their positions and the hyperbole is amazing. We have heard statements that have gone beyond the absurd and when spoken, drive one to wonder how moronic!
As we look at the world, and we do mean the world, it is embarrassing that in the US this debate is even happening.
Our hope is that the rhetoric ceases, the accusations cease and that mature level headed politicians rise to the maturity level expected and meet the challenges facing the American people even if it means a risk to their own political careers.
As we travel through this wonderful globe, we will be watching how well the “world’s guardian” handles taking care of its weakest and most helpless.
It will be a telling answer.
