A progressive future

I am sorry and apologetic that the results of the Monday Feb. 3rd Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses were so dysfunctionally reported and delayed.

The vote tallies involve a very complex mathematical concept historically known as arithmetic, only occasionally successfully taught and mastered in today’s public schools. Even with this mathematical addition-subtraction reporting failure, I remain confident that the Democrats can put this disaster behind them and turn their taxation policy (on working people) to successfully alter the earth’s climate. This climate carbon taxation policy may take decades to achieve its desired outcome (money).

I also hope the Democrats will be successful if they win the next election to totally take over our nation’s health care system, eliminate private employer supplied health care, and provide wonderful government health care for our citizens and resident non-citizens.

Please do not let the Iowa arithmetic disaster scare you from a wonderful progressive realignment of our future.
