Walmart Proves that the Trump Tax Cuts are Bogus

[Moonglow]

The president and his crony buds at the head of corporations are sure putting out the PR to make themselves look good...

Hillary was a Walmart Board Member.

I'd say nice things about a company if I got paid muchas tens of thousands for four meetings a year.

Exactly, and so would every one of these whiners. If she had an "R" behind her name, they would be touting her entrepreneurial spirit and using her success and wealth as the sole support for her being extremely well qualified for any office she ran for.

Strange times indeed....

You know college was a lot cheaper before the gov got into the college loan business.

California was one of the highest ranked in education until Reagan got his hands into it while he was Governor.

Republicans have ruined our education as much as or even more so than democrats..

Look at the GOP now .

.

I certainly didn't like what he did to the student loan program increase interest 800%..

Reagan closed all of the mental health hospitals too , so you see them living homeless talking to themselves..

You have to be suicidal to even be seen by a doctor in the emergency rooms now..

.

What really happened......
Reagan Didn't Close Down Mental Hospitals - The Gormogons

Yup!

It was Democrat JFK

1." On Feb. 5, 1963, ... President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress on "Mental Illness and Mental Retardation." He proposed a new program under which the federal government would fund community mental-health centers, or CMHCs, to take the place of state mental hospitals. As Kennedy envisioned it, "reliance on the cold mercy of custodial isolations will be supplanted by the open warmth of community concern and capability."

2. Kennedy's proposal was historic because the public care of mentally ill individuals had been exclusively a state responsibility for more than a century. The federal initiative encouraged the closing of state hospitals and aborted the development of state-funded outpatient clinics in process at that time.

3. .... the feds funded 789 CMHCs with a total of $2.7 billion ($20.3 billion in today's dollars). During those same years, the number of patients in state mental hospitals fell by three quarters—to 132,164 from 504,604—and those beds were closed down.

a. .... CMHCs were not interested in taking care of the patients being discharged from the state hospitals. Instead, they focused on individuals with less severe problems sometimes called "the worried well."

Your's is a blog ... I know for a fact that Reagan closed down state hospitals in California when he was governor.. I actually went on the news to help a family member who could not get help..

What Reagan is not readily known for is the long term effect of a law he repealed that essentially deinstitutionalized mentally ill patients at the federal level (Roberts, 2013). His decision to deinstitutionalize mentally ill patients had a much more deleterious effect on these patients, their communities, and the agencies that were left to contend with these individuals’ mental health issues (Honberg, 2015).

Reagan gave the appearance of making a consequentialist ethical decision because he presented his repeal of OBRA as an action that would best serve American society and do more good than harm as a result. The OBRA gave mental patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution, an option to seek treatment at clinics at the state level, and the freedom to administer their own medication (PSY533, 2017) (Pan, 2013). However, Reagan was hasty in taking unsound advice to repeal OBRA because his real motive was to cut the federal budget (Roberts, 2013). He was a leader who “never exhibited any interest in the need for research or better treatment for serious mental illness” (Torrey, 2017).

Stocking shelves at Walmart isn't a lucrative career because approximately EVERYBODY is capable of doing that job.

That represents a downward pressure on the wage. However, the fact remains that a human being is required to do it. And a person who works should be able to enjoy a basic standard of living and participate in our economy. Instead, we subsidize Walmart's corporate profits by subsidizing their wages up to a bare aubsistence level. Exactly who is benefiting? The laborer has zero economic security, and it adds to our deficits. We have to legislate an upward pressure on that laborer's wage, especially considering we already shoulder the economic costs of his low wage.

Who's benefiting? Obviously the crooked Clintons are benefiting.

That's a ridiculois response. I dont think they sell pills for "Clinton tourrettes syndrome" at Wal-Mart, but you could check....

Bullshit. Most people would agree that getting a $353,400 check is beneficial to them. That's what the Clintons got as a kickback for diverting the taxpayers' Haiti earthquake relief funds to build a duty free sweatshop for Walmart in an area unaffected by the earthquake and forcing the minimum wage down to 30 cents/hour.

Why have you chosen to remain ignorant of the facts?

California was one of the highest ranked in education until Reagan got his hands into it while he was Governor.

Republicans have ruined our education as much as or even more so than democrats..

Look at the GOP now .

.

I certainly didn't like what he did to the student loan program increase interest 800%..

Reagan closed all of the mental health hospitals too , so you see them living homeless talking to themselves..

You have to be suicidal to even be seen by a doctor in the emergency rooms now..

1." On Feb. 5, 1963, ... President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress on "Mental Illness and Mental Retardation."

As Kennedy envisioned it, "reliance on the cold mercy of custodial isolations will be supplanted by the open warmth of community concern and capability."

2. Kennedy's proposal was historic because the public care of mentally ill individuals had been exclusively a state responsibility for more than a century. The federal initiative encouraged the closing of state hospitals and aborted the development of state-funded outpatient clinics in process at that time.

3. .... the feds funded 789 CMHCs with a total of $2.7 billion ($20.3 billion in today's dollars). During those same years, the number of patients in state mental hospitals fell by three quarters—to 132,164 from 504,604—and those beds were closed down.

The OBRA gave mental patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution, an option to seek treatment at clinics at the state level, and the freedom to administer their own medication (PSY533, 2017) (Pan, 2013). However, Reagan was hasty in taking unsound advice to repeal OBRA because his real motive was to cut the federal budget (Roberts, 2013). He was a leader who “never exhibited any interest in the need for research or better treatment for serious mental illness” (Torrey, 2017).

The only way you 'know' about mental hospitals was when you were confined to one.


JFK did it in '63


When was Ronaldus Maximus President,you dope????

"...the annual total public funds for the support and treatment of mentally ill individuals is now more than $140 billion. The equivalent expenditure in 1963 when Kennedy proposed the CMHC program was $1 billion, or about $10 billion in today's dollars. "

And here is why JFK did it.

The explanation for John F. Kennedy's interest in the fate of the mentally ill is both poignant and personal. It is largely due to the machinations of a very evil man.

That man was not John Kennedy.....

1. "Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was an American businessman, investor, and government official. Kennedy was an Irish American and was the father of U.S. President John F. Kennedy...." Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. - Wikipedia.

2. "Joe was a fiercely ambitious individual who thrived on competition and winning. Also, in his eyes, the ultimate prize was the American presidency. He wanted his eldest son Joe Jr to become president, but after his death in World War II, he became determined to make his eldest surviving son, Jack, president." Ibid. Actually, at first, Joe, Sr;, saw himself as President at first. Toward that end, status and reputation of the family was paramount.

3.Joseph, Sr. had nine children. Both greatness and tragedy dwelled in their home. While the deaths associated with the family are well known, the life of daughter Rosemary has been kept shrouded in mystery. Respect for the family is largely the reason, but her fate, and JFK's involvement in the federal takeover of facilities for the mentally ill are intricately related.

4. ""Sister of John F. Kennedy, Rosemary was said to have been considered retarded by members of her family but that assessment has been widely disputed by subsequent analysts. Some concluded that Rosemary may not have been as brilliant as other members of her family but she was a fully functioning person, kept a diary and had an active social life....." Top 10 Fascinating And Notable Lobotomies - Listverse

a. Diaries written by her in the late 1930s, and published in the 1980s, reveal a young woman whose life was filled with outings to the opera, tea dances, dress fittings, and other social interests:

· "Went to luncheon in the ballroom in the White House. James Roosevelt took us in to see his father, President Roosevelt. He said, 'It's about time you came. How can I put my arm around all of you? Which is the oldest? You are all so big."

· "Have a fitting at 10:15 Elizabeth Arden. Appointment dress fitting again. Home for lunch. Royal tournament in the afternoon."

· "Up too late for breakfast. Had it on deck. Played Ping-Pong with Ralph's sister, also with another man. Had lunch at 1:15. Walked with Peggy. also went to horse races with her, and bet and won a dollar and a half. Went to the English Movie at five. Had dinner at 8:45. Went to the lounge with Miss Cahill and Eunice and retired early." Gibson, Rose Kennedy and Her Family, includes Rosemary's diaries from 1936–1938. Rosemary Kennedy - Wikipedia

5. "... Joe Sr. decided, without consulting or informing his wife, to have a prefrontal lobotomy performed on Rosemary. ... Rosemary’s surgery was performed very soon after the introduction of the technique in this country. Fewer than one hundred such operations had been completed at this time, and the procedure was very much experimental. The operation was recommended for “ ‘hopeless’ patients who had failed to respond to other methods of treatment, people who had little to lose and everything to gain.”

a. "Various reasons for the operation have been given, but it left her permanently incapacitated." Shorter, Edward. The Kennedy Family and the History of Mental Retardation.. pp. 32–33.

b. After the surgery Rosemary was reduced to an infantile mentality that left her incontinent and staring blankly at walls for hours. Her verbal skills were reduced to unintelligible babble. In 1949, Rosemary moved to an institution and was visited on regular occasions by her sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver who became the founder of the Special Olympics." Top 10 Fascinating And Notable Lobotomies - Listverse

6. It was the ambition of Joseph Kennedy, Sr. that caused this beautiful young lady to become a veritable "vegetable." He could not allow the taint of scandal to stand in the way of the presidency.

a. " The chief myth, perpetrated by family patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy, is that Ted Kennedy’s sister Rosemary Kennedy was mentally retarded. Based on that myth, Eunice Shriver, another sister, founded the Special Olympics." Rosemary Kennedy&#39s Inconvenient Illness

b. " While sexual conquest, for example, was an expected trait among the males in the household, the daughters were taught that an important element of their religious faith was abstinence until marriage.... , her parents were concerned about Rosemary’s sexual awakening. Rosemary being widely regarded as one of the most attractive of the Kennedy girls, Joe and Rose were extremely worried about the possibility that she would become sexually abused or pregnant. The latter possibility was a special source of anxiety to a father who was constantly concerned about political implications and a mother who was raising her daughters to be “good Catholics.” http://www.voy.com/18973/1/3447.html



See....you've learned something today.

 

[PoliticalChic]

California was one of the highest ranked in education until Reagan got his hands into it while he was Governor.

Republicans have ruined our education as much as or even more so than democrats..

Look at the GOP now .

.

I certainly didn't like what he did to the student loan program increase interest 800%..

Reagan closed all of the mental health hospitals too , so you see them living homeless talking to themselves..

You have to be suicidal to even be seen by a doctor in the emergency rooms now..

.

What really happened......
Reagan Didn't Close Down Mental Hospitals - The Gormogons

Yup!

It was Democrat JFK

1." On Feb. 5, 1963, ... President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress on "Mental Illness and Mental Retardation." He proposed a new program under which the federal government would fund community mental-health centers, or CMHCs, to take the place of state mental hospitals. As Kennedy envisioned it, "reliance on the cold mercy of custodial isolations will be supplanted by the open warmth of community concern and capability."

2. Kennedy's proposal was historic because the public care of mentally ill individuals had been exclusively a state responsibility for more than a century. The federal initiative encouraged the closing of state hospitals and aborted the development of state-funded outpatient clinics in process at that time.

3. .... the feds funded 789 CMHCs with a total of $2.7 billion ($20.3 billion in today's dollars). During those same years, the number of patients in state mental hospitals fell by three quarters—to 132,164 from 504,604—and those beds were closed down.

a. .... CMHCs were not interested in taking care of the patients being discharged from the state hospitals. Instead, they focused on individuals with less severe problems sometimes called "the worried well."

Your's is a blog ... I know for a fact that Reagan closed down state hospitals in California when he was governor.. I actually went on the news to help a family member who could not get help..

What Reagan is not readily known for is the long term effect of a law he repealed that essentially deinstitutionalized mentally ill patients at the federal level (Roberts, 2013). His decision to deinstitutionalize mentally ill patients had a much more deleterious effect on these patients, their communities, and the agencies that were left to contend with these individuals’ mental health issues (Honberg, 2015).

Reagan gave the appearance of making a consequentialist ethical decision because he presented his repeal of OBRA as an action that would best serve American society and do more good than harm as a result. The OBRA gave mental patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution, an option to seek treatment at clinics at the state level, and the freedom to administer their own medication (PSY533, 2017) (Pan, 2013). However, Reagan was hasty in taking unsound advice to repeal OBRA because his real motive was to cut the federal budget (Roberts, 2013). He was a leader who “never exhibited any interest in the need for research or better treatment for serious mental illness” (Torrey, 2017).

U01: Ronald Reagan and the Federal Deinstitutionalization of Mentally Ill Patients | PSY 533: Ethics and Leadership (Wheeler)

This is the correct order: JFK......Carter.....Reagan



Now....have someone explain this to you:

"Deinstitutionalization was based on the principle that severe mental illness should be treated in the least restrictive setting. As further defined by President Jimmy Carter's Commission on Mental Health, this ideology rested on "the objective of maintaining the greatest degree of freedom, self-determination, autonomy, dignity, and integrity of body, mind, and spirit for the individual while he or she participates in treatment or receives services."8 This is a laudable goal and for many, perhaps for the majority of those who are deinstitutionalized, it has been at least partially realized."
