Is this it?

The travails of the working poor

I read a short piece a short while back by Hunter from The Daily Kos that has really stuck with me in which he reports that according to a financial advice website, Bankrate, 61% of Americans do not have $1000 in the bank to cover an unexpected medical expense, and that in 2016, 10.5 million Americans fell into poverty because of medical bills.

Hunter asks if this is the best we can do and the best we can hope for (a resounding "Hell no!" is implied, I believe), and it got me to thinking that if ever there was a call to Democrats for resounding campaign issues, this is it.  Because the republican plan is more or less "tough shit, you'll get over it," and this gives Democrats the chance to champion Medicare for All, the $15.00 minimum wage, and creating an economy where living month to month is the exception and not the rule.

And if we can actually pass them, and it causes the Koch Brothers heads to explode, all the better....

Fuck Donald Trump
