Illegal Children of Illegal Parents

   
     I haven't written in this blog for a long time but I feel it's time because people are losing their minds.  I'd like to start with one very important question: What is your solution of what to do with the children? 

     The options are very limited.  The parents have broken the law and are detained.  Logically, what choices does that leave us with for the children?  Do we send them home with no parents or maybe to live with relatives in their country?  We are feeding them, housing them, and providing people to watch over them.  This is all being done with the taxpayer money of Americans and it's not even being done for Americans.  I would think people would be grateful.  The parents broke the law and got in trouble.  What happens to American kids when this happens?  They are either taken in by relatives or they become a ward of the state.  How is this different?  They are not out on the streets starving and they have adult supervision.  This all seems very reasonable.  Like I said, options are very limited.  Breaking the law has consequences.  If everyone who is complaining about the current situation would take in one child then the problem would work itself out.  Prisons are full of parents who are separated from their children because they made
bad decisions.  We can't turn loose every person who has ever broken the law just because they have children.  They should have thought about that before breaking the law.  This seems like the only viable solution for the moment.

     Again, what is your solution?

Charlottesville, VA

The racist attacks in Charlottesville, Virginia today have sparked an onslaught of arguments on social media.  When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's we were past racism like this.  We had moved on from the hate of the 50's and 60's when the KKK and Black Panthers were at their peak.  Now, here we go again.  This storm started to stir again 4 or 5 years ago.  This time with white supremacists and Black Lives Matter.  Why?  Because people started being offended by everything.  Today's protests started because some local governments are trying to destroy American heritage and memorial monuments.  I don't mean to sound like an old grandpa but these things didn't happen when I was younger.  We didn't agree with everything that happened in American history but it was still history and was to be preserved.  I'm a southern boy and proud of my heritage.  Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't the south that was racist, it was democ...

The Truth About Universal Health Care

Last year, the US spent $3.2 trillion on health care. The US has roughly 323.1 million residents. That means we spent about $9904.05 per person last year. In 2016, the median household income was $59,039. There are an estimated 2.58 people per household in the US. So, that means that each household spent roughly $25,552.45 on medical expenses last year. So, that means that 43.28% of the median household income was spent on health care. That is an extreme amount. Any one who denies that isn’t paying attention. But we need to take something into account: that $9904.05 per person was not spent entirely out of pocket. Not even close. That is mostly covered by insurance companies and state and federal governments paying for the coverage. In actuality, households only account for 27.7% of spending when it came to health care in 2015. So, if that percentage stayed the same for 2016, we are looking at roughly $7,078.03 per household, or $2,743.42 per person. That means that each household on...
