I remember when my constituents couldn’t get health insurance at all before the Affordable Care Act.
We can’t return to those days. We need to reopen the government and protect health care.
This woman says the quiet part out loud and speaks an uncomfortable truth. Say it louder for the people in the back!
“If the Government feeds you, it can starve you. If the Government houses you, it can evict you. If the Government pays your utilities, it can turn them off. If the Government pays your cell phone, it can disconnect it. If the Government provides your transportation, it can decide when you go and where you can travel. If the Government takes care of your health, it can decide when it has spent enough money on you. If the Government educates your children, it can choose what they learn. If the Government raises your children, it can shape what they believe. If the Government controls your information, it can control your truth.
And when a Government controls all of those things, it doesn’t have to take your freedom, you will hand it over piece by piece in exchange for comfort. You’ll think you’re being cared for, when in reality is, you’re being kept.”
Powerful words and she is 100% correct.
In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan- "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' "
@MrPitbull07 That is an amazing scarf. As a kid I hid in the bathroom, I get it. You are a gift and gifted beyond others not broken just at a higher level of caring and creativity.
