I watched a YouTube video of economist Joseph Stiglitz promoting his most recent book in Australia. In it, he said fellow economist Paul Krugman summed up the Republican view of life: "It extends from conception to birth." To me, that means that for Republicans, survival is not essential after birth. That short statement says so much.

I want to live a long life, but before I go, I want to know that my children and their families are not governed by mean, greedy people who lack empathy for the people they serve. I want them to take the necessities of survival for granted and enjoy life. I want them to be justly rewarded for their work and to have time to relax with their families without constant anxiety about what tomorrow may bring.

“ I have come to bury Caesar ,

( at the ballot box) not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them ;

the good is oft interred with their

bones . “

Trump and his followers will have

some very lonely bones .
