MEDICARE: Heading wrong way

The new federal budget has been introduced and it includes a $537 billion in proposed cuts to Medicare. This is not the way to take care of the elderly who have worked all their lives only to spend one out of six dollars of their income on health care even with Medicare. Health care is broken and must be fixed intelligently without greed and corruption.

Let’s put Congress on the same health care plan as U.S. citizens and see how long it takes to make it “Great Again.”

We need to curb intervention in the lives of our world neighbors. Time has proven that it does not work; it only fosters more conflict. It is time to make peace and set our egos aside and take care of our citizens, especially our children.

We don’t need more interdiction on any front either at home or abroad. We need smarter participation in making our world somewhere everyone can lead a peaceful and rewarding life.

Let’s not be a country of hate and division. Let’s respect and take care of our neighbors!
