I'm getting so tired of hearing from politicians how good the people of the U.S. are. A lot of good people here to be sure. But, when so many were/are willing to vote for a moral degenerate like Trump or sat on their hands and let such an atrocity happen, how "good" as a country can we really be?

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."
