Today Minority President Trump referred to the act of the loony terrorist who killed around 60 people in Las Vegas last night as “pure evil.” On the same day the Republican lawmakers let the CHIP act expire (after 20 years). Nine million children lost their health care coverage. No more check ups, immunizations, prescriptions, dental care, eyeglasses, X-rays, etc. It’s hard to weigh these events against one another, but which was purer evil?
Both were calculated. One meant sudden death for a few; the other, many illnesses and slow deaths for many. The motives behind one are unknown. The motives behind the other (saving poor children from an unhealthy reliance on government aid, saving money to give tax cuts to billionaires) are well understood.
