Ignorance

As a substitute teacher; kids tell me they don’t like to read.  My response is to encourage them to read about something they like.  Because their brains are not fully developed; they really don’t know what’s best for them, which is why education is an important resource, and reading in my opinion comes before mathematics.

People who are ignorant don’t know how ignorant they are until they read as much as possible.

Only then will they seek more insight into what they have read.

Trump says US should build more mental health institutions to combat gun violence

Another trump Disconnect!

Trump wanting more mental health facilities to combat gun violence shows just how out of touch he is with life, liberty and the pursuit of going about your daily business and not getting gunned down at the mall.

His mouth is the reason we’re experiencing more violence at home than abroad.

He talks loud and says absolutely nothing.  He gives lip service to supporters who are just as affected by violence, who are not wealthy, who may not have health insurance, and who could catch one of those stray bullets some of his constituents spray crowds of children with.

What he isn’t saying is being felt by those who had coverage under The Affordable Care Act (ACA) before his administration started gutting it.

Are these mental health facilities he rants about supposed to run on air?  They are not non-profit.  Therefore; people need a lot of money or health insurance to get the care they need.  The ACA was passed to help people in need of health care.

Trump, if you’re serious about helping people with mental health issues STOP GUTTING OBAMA CARE!  You gave the one percenters a tax cut as you continue to dismantle affordable comprehensive health care and spout some sort of good to go plan (as long as you stay mentally and physically healthy we got you covered).  After that you’re on your own.
