Live and Let Die

Did senators John Fetterman and Angus King do the right thing in stooping to kiss Trump's cuts to Obamacare? Or was Rand Paul right when he voted no?

The Republican cuts mean around 4,000 Americans will die unnecessarily each month. Trump will not react to such a small number--his cuts in foreign aid alone have starved to death around 200,000  foreign children. He and John Thune don't care.

The children died one at a time. The 4,000 Americans will die one at a time. At 90 I've become aware that we all die one at a time and that government leaders balance factors and make tough calls. But in hastening American deaths did Fetterman and King and six other "centrists" do the right thing?

We need fighters for life. Here's the best course. The eight moderate centrists resign and go home. Then we forget them as quickly as we did the last president.
