Forget Deficit Busting Tax Cuts for the Rich. Forget Health Care Measures that screw the American People. Forget the Shipping Industry that wants to enforce the Jones Act. It is time to focus on rebuilding areas devastated by hurricanes and our nations infrastructure.

The Pat Bagley Editorial Cartoon shown in today's issue may be illustrative of President Trump's attitude towards the people of Puerto Rico. He waived the Jones Act for Texas and Florida but not for Puerto Rico. Maybe the states had the Presidents back because they had more electoral votes and white people. Our leaders, as previous posts have maintained, need to stop focusing on tax cuts and health care that hurts most of the people and we need to rebuild our nation and become the city on the hill and beacon for all.
