Cutting off Aide to the 3 Mexicos, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.


Trump is pulling aide from three Central America countries, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.  Better known as the “3 Mexicos” according to a gaff from Fox News.  He says they are setting up caravans to proceed to the United States southern border.  When the caravans arrive, the men, women and children that make up the migration, are asking for asylum.

The reason people asking for asylum is because their countries are in complete chaos.  Gangs are running the country and the government seems to not be able to stop them.  The money they did receive helped some, but it wasn’t enough.

Now Trump Boss is pulling it.

"We were paying them tremendous amounts of money. And we're not paying them anymore. Because they haven't done a thing for us. They set up these caravans," Trump Boss said on recently.

But the reality is something just the opposite.  Think about it.  I could give a man that lives on the street a buck every day for a year.  At the end of the year, I decide I am not giving any more support because the man is still on the street.  He hasn’t found someplace to sleep and hasn’t found a job.
It doesn’t matter if the money wasn’t enough to do anything, he is still on the street.  It must be his fault.

So now with aide being cut, things will get even worse.  Now they have less money to do a job that needs more money not less. And, yes, maybe a little better oversite.

So, this makes the Trump Boss look like he is doing something.  His supporters won’t look deeper than they shouldn’t be getting the money in the first place.  This will make him look good when it is time to be re-elected.

Speaking of re-elected, with aide being cut off, conditions in the countries will get worse.  More people will now begin the journey to America’s southern border. 

After all the asylum seekers think, if things get worse in Central America, which they are sure it will now that Trump Boss has caused chaos in the three Mexicos, the asylum seekers will have less to lose than before.

Trump Boss will scream and scream about even more people coming in caravans.  He will say; therefore, we need to continue the wall and why you need to re-elect him because the Democrats will do nothing about this. They welcome them with open arms.

Now, here is even more danger.  Trump Boss has been ithcin’ for a fight somewhere in the world for some time now.  It will ignite his supporters in passionate support.  The supporters will be screaming that we need to support the president even more now that we are in a “war”.

As an example, he is making all kinds of threats against Venezuela.  He has even begun to make threats against the Russia having troops there.  China is joining Russian in support of Venezuela also.  Trump Boss attacks against Venezuela are against the “Socialist” government.  He places himself in a nice position of being against Socialism.

But the problem in Venezuela is that he doesn’t want a fight with Russia and China.  That will be a losing war for everyone all around.  It certainly will not a quick victory, if any at all.  It will be a war that gets nasty and goes on for years.

But now that Trump Boss has a new target.  He has been both verbally and financially attacking the Three Mexicos.  He is telling us that the countries are setting up the caravans like an invasion. 
Trump Boss thinks he could invade some “Banana Republics” as they were called in the last century.  The excuse would be that they are “sending” caravans of people to the United States southern border to invade the country, endangering real Americans from going on about their lives.

Trump Boss will scream, “We have asked them to stop the caravans.  We have even cut off aide in hopes that they would stop.  But they just keep sending them.  This is an invasion (he has already used that term many times over the years), so we need to fight back.”

Trump Boss thinks it will be easy pickin’s.  It could be just a few days to get to the capital city of each country.  But it will not be pretty.  The citizens of the countries will revote against the oppressor United States.  Plus, even more caravans will be headed north because they just want out of the country.  Now, instead of just social unrest in the country that they are escaping from, now it is war.  

The United Nationals will get involved. 

This needs to stop right here right now.





No to Rick Scott


Just a quick opinion:

Rick Scott past governor of Florida and CEO of Columbia/HCA should not oversee developing a government health care plan.

Scott might seem that he would be a good choice to develop a national healthcare for the United States with his experience operating a large company that owns plenty of hospitals.  With admission, of course, that a business man would likely be more concerned about the success of companies that manage healthcare than with patient that use the system.  But, still, he knows his stuff, right?

Well, that is until the stuff he needs to know is going on in his own company.

Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA when the feds discovered that millions, perhaps billions were being falsely billed to the government for service that were not needed or that were never performed.  The feds started the investigation at the first two hospitals that Scott owned.  If there was any place that Scott should have known what was going on under his supervision, it should have been when the company was small.  But that is where the fraud started and spread throughout the company as it grows to one of the larger hospital companies in America.

Scott was the CEO the entire time.

Six months after the investigation started, Scott resigned.  The board of the company cut a deal, a deal of $1.7 billion – not million, billion.  To fully disclose, Scott said he wanted to fight it.  He said that during the Florida race for governor.

Nice try to cover up the past.

So, what is the crime here.  Scott’s company, Columbia/HCA admitted guilt to defrauding the government while Scott was running the place.  But Scott said he didn’t know about it.  That might let me forgive him for one thing – might is an important word here, because I wouldn’t, but I will say might – the not knowing part.    

But the not knowing part is really the core issue.

What, you say? 

If you don’t know what is going on in a small company like just two hospitals, how can you know what is going on in a large organization like a government healthcare plan?

In my opinion, as a past CEO in a company that defrauded the government (one that the company cut a deal on) Rick Scott should not be part of a government plan to develop a healthcare plan.
