Voters are supposed to take Presidential elections seriously. Even the New England Medical Association (or was that the A.M.A.?) broke against President Trump’s re-election. I however find it challenging to take the candidates of either partner seriously this year, for I vote for candidates with the best ideas, least number of wrong ones, and find the offerings this year rotten.
I
like Kamala Harris like most guys I would think- she won the debate with VP
Pence by a large margin (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8819119/Kamala-Harris-wins-instant-poll-vice-presidential-debate-Mike-Pence.html)
not just for being cute. Her ideas concerning Russia are dead wrong though. Let
me explain why…
Politicians
must lead sometimes and not simply be sycophants. President Reagan was the only
one in his White House for complete nuclear disarmament and that process led to
the end of the cold war. As a reservist in that era ending the Cold War and the
threat of global nuclear holocaust was my sole priority. When that mission was
accomplished through peace, it needed to be aggressively defended. Democrats
have everything to turn back the clock with Russia and fail to comprehend
Russian history concerning the Crimea and Ukraine.
Flying
into Salt Lake City recently the pollution index was 100. I believe that was
smoke from fires someplace west. I was a little alarmed envisioning a normal
future of global thermal warming caused by mankind’s industrial and automotive
choices. Watching Alita Battle Angel for a diversion on the aircraft while the smog over the
Rockies, Wasatch and Salt Flats was so thick, I noticed the garbage society
they lived in. Politicians need to lead to peaceful relations and ecospheric
economics rather than functions as sycophants of Wall Street. Salt Lake is the ideal city for solar power generation, and has mountains for wind power- I wonder what percent of it and the flats are actually equipped so.
My
concern for the Biden administration if elected is that it will be four more
years of the usual promotion of Democrat cronies and flooding the nation with
cheap labor while getting union support. Reforming society, Wall Street and government requires a stable, informed citizenry without millions of illegals usurping the political agenda. Rationality is not required for union
work- keeping one’s head down and eschewing intelligent and independent thought
is good enough. The government should create and Ecosphere Corps to help poor nations transition to ecological economics (including Mexico). That would help reduce organized crime on both sides of the border.
Progressive
taxes on capital, income and inheritance need to be restored or implemented
while Wall Street is given incentives to transition to sustainable ecological
economic principles through regulation and incentives. Even greenhouse gassing can
be down with incentives instead of trillions of dollars of pork distributed to
advantaged corporations.
