and a continuation of the frog in the pot? hillary would have been a fast boil, trump will be a slow boil? I pray that I'm wrong, but biblically these are the end times.

http://rare.us/story/trumps-pick-to-head-the-cia-wants-the-government-to-spy-on-virtually-everything-we-do/


But Trump’s choice of Sen. Jeff Sessions for Attorney General should greatly concern anyone who cares about the Constitution and civil liberties. His reported choice of John Bolton for Deputy Secretary of State is worrisome for those who want to avoid another Iraq-style war. Trump’s pick for Homeland Security, Gen. John Kelly, is a retrograde drug warrior whose appointment coincides with a time in American culture when marijuana is being legalized in many states and becoming more socially acceptable.

Then there’s Trump’s reported CIA pick, Rep. Mike Pompeo.

When Edward Snowden first alerted us in 2013 that the U.S. government was collecting citizens’ metadata en masse, the public was outraged. When government officials were asked point blank by Congress if they were spying on Americans in this way prior to Snowden’s revelation, they lied.

Why would they lie to begin with? Because they knew it was wrong and illegal.

That’s why Snowden came forward with the information he had. He did us all a favor. Polls showed the majority of Americans reject mass blanket surveillance.

Mike Pompeo wants to execute Edward Snowden and firmly re-establish mass surveillance as the law of the land in a way that goes even further.

You have expressed my worry also, we will see what the man actually does. Its a good idea to keep the ones that know the system and can change it to the way that would be a good thing for the public. Like any business its filled with all kinds of personalities and motives yet its the management that keeps things in line. It seems the ones who know the systems the best are the criminals and the ones who make the best ones to route out problems since they know the ins and outs is the criminal. But we need to keep them under control and in a direction to help and not hurt. Unlike the other canidate we cannot have the criminals run the system.

There is alot to change and not much time, I just heard an interesting fact that health care is now 7.8 percent of GDP. This is in great part O care that caused it, so how do you take such a behemoth and make it work the way it should.

Actually it's at 17.8%.

 Of 17 high-income countries studied by the National Institutes of Health in 2013, the United States had the highest or near-highest prevalence of obesity, car accidents, infant mortality, heart and lung disease, sexually transmitted infections, adolescent pregnancies, injuries, and homicides.

This statement has a lot to do with it. Along with our aging population.
