To fix Obamacare, it’s important to first take stock of its three key failings.
Abolishing the Electoral College would be mistake. It helps make self-government work. Delegates to the Federal Convention rejected allowing the people to elect the president directly.
The Electoral College, a mechanism devised to preserve the relative electoral power of smaller states, now stands as an antiquated relic that undermines the principles of fairness and equality.
We need a system that allows veterans to have options for the best of what VA can offer, as well as the best of what the private sector can offer.
Privatization of the VHA would improve health care for veterans and nonveterans alike.
The promise to go to war should be reserved for the most important interests – ones that are vital, even existential. Ukraine is not one.
America has always been a land of refuge and will continue to be so. That is the easy part of any debate about refugee and asylum issues.
Today, the U.S. has needlessly made the administration of providing refugee protection confusing by creating two separate paths and processes: An alien overseas applies for refugee protection, while an alien at our border or inside the U.S. applies for asylum.
We must safeguard our civil liberties, but we also must not forget abut the right of an ill person who relies on society’s conscience and protection to survive a treatable illness.
Mayor Adams should promote solutions that center on people, focus on connecting short-term interventions to long-term housing solutions, and promote pathways to economic mobility.
