Keller's column titled, Health Care Has Risks Politically, Even If Cassidy Succeeds This Year, dated 7/12/19 was the usual sad republican position on the ACA, only this time with Keller's own fairy tale twist. Forget about how important health care or the lack of affects people, Keller is only concerned with the issue being a win for the republican party. Keller falsely claims that Louisiana's U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy's far reaching health care plan to repeal and replace the ACA was scuttled by democrats and republicans in 2017.
Cassidy's plan was scuttled by his own republican controlled Senate who refused to take up his bill for debate and not by the democratic party who had no input on the republican bill that went down to defeat. (The U.S. republican controlled House passed their health care plan but Cassidy's Senate would not even take up their bill) Keller also talks about Cassidy and his fellow republican Senator John Kennedy who are working on a health care plan that would not repeal or replace the ACA but work around the edges and if what they offered could pass it would be a WIN for the republican
party. It should be noted that Cassidy is a doctor and his own party never put his ideas about health care on center stage. It should also be a reminder what former republican speaker of the House John Boehner said, "that the republican party has never been serious about health care and he predicted his party would not pass health care legislation when they voted in 2017 and he was right on target.
Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential campaign said if elected President, she would improve on the positive aspects of the ACA and change those areas that needed change and make it better. That would be the best way to deal with the ACA and it now appears Cassidy and Kennedy agree The republican attidude of repeal and replace represents unAmerican thinking on the issue. Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden supports Hillary's thinking on how to make the ACA better and it is the most common sense way to deal with the health care issue. So far the republicans have had 15 years to come up with a workable health care plan and have failed. And now, Trump and his party has added an insult by saying they will not take up the issue until after the 2020 election.
One also needs to keep in mind how Trump lied on the health care issue when he said in March of 2017, if the republican party does not pass their own health care plan he would introduce his own. Well of course he never did because he never had a plan to begin with. Trump and his party have zero credibility on the health care issue. But Keller believes the republican party can come out a winner by following Hillary Clinton's ideas. If the democrats can win back the Senate and keep the House in the 2020 elections they will surely move to improve the ACA, make changes that are needed and make it better for all.
Ever since his election as President, the trumpet man and his party has tried every thing to sabotage the ACA since they failed at repeal and replacing the ACT. To his credit, President Obama gave the republican party every chance to come up with their own health care plan when the ACA was being debated. They never did because as John Boehner said years later the party was never serious about health care. And that really says it all.

The U.S. House Passes 9/11 First Responders Bill
The democratic controlled U.S. House voted 402 - 12 and approved legislation to extend funding for 9/11 first responders and their families until 2090. Last month the House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to reauthorize the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund after Jon Stewart testified before the committee and urged its passage. Stewart has been an outspoken supporter for the fund and criticized the lack of action to put the funding on solid ground.
The vote was overdue as the funding was being depleted and could lead to a 50-70% reduction in compensation. Some in congress complained about the cost After the House vote democratic Senator Chuck Schumer urged republican senate majority leader Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on the legislation promptly and not let other republicans push them to the back burner like the last time. McConnell would not commit to any time frame.
Once again it is the democratic controlled House that moved and passed important legislation to cover the health problems of the 9/11 first responders and their families who have suffered serious health problems and even death. It takes serious people to address serious issues and the House continue to pass important and meaningful legislation since the democrats took control in January.
The fate of the legislation is now in McConnell and the republican controlled Senate hands. Lets see how long it takes for them to act.

Orleans and Jefferson Parish Should Take The Lead in Flood Control
Both parish should pass legislation that would require all new construction of residential homes be raised to a certain height to eliminate the ongoing flooding threat that seems to multiply each year. Slab homes should be a thing of the past. Climate change has already taken a toll and will only become worse because of those blind to scientific facts and the flooding that has already taken place.
The proliferation of slab homes have cemented earth and eliminated much needed bare land for water absorption and that water has no where to go but up. Then when you consider the healthy increases in flood insurance and the federal government complaining how flood claims have drained the insurance fund and their reluctance to address the situation timely demands a better solution. Raised homes would produce a better solution for obvious reasons.
Drainage systems in both parish are strained and out dated to a certain degree and can not handle heavy down pours that fall in a short period of time. But a raised house can. The additional cost of a raised house, if any, would more than offset the cost of flood damage and the human toll it takes on the family. The situation of New Orleans is worse because the city sits in a water bowl to begin with and all are familiar with the problem.
Legislation that requires all new residential construction to be raised won't solve the current problem but it will be a start that recognizes a problem that can be addressed where the future will be better than the past. It is also the best answer to controlling flood insurance cost and the cost to rebuild.

Job Creation For June 2019 ---The Story Continues
The U.S. Labor Department reported the economy created 224,000 jobs in June and that the unemployment rate came in at 3.7%, up from the 3.6% in May. It was the 105th straight month of positive job growth. As usual, June's job numbers brought mixed remarks from economists. Those who follow the stock market said what the federal reserve does on interest rates later this month will determine where the market goes despite the job numbers.
So in President Trump's first 29 months in office a total of 5,431,000 jobs have been created for a monthly average of 187,275 jobs. In President Obama's last 29 months in office 6,223,000 jobs were created for a monthly average of 214,586 jobs. So job creation continues to lag under the Trump administration despite his rhetoric, his tax cuts, his bragging and his predictions. And if one believes the glowing reports about the booming economy and stock market by the regular news media and the Trump administration and how Trump's policies are working, think again. The numbers show the news media are out of touch with the good job President Obama did on the economy, jobs and the stock market while inheriting the worse economic conditions since the great depression. They showed President Obama no respect.
As for the so called booming stock market today, try this on for size. When President Obama took office the DJIA stood at 7949 and at the end of his first 29 months in office the DJIA stood at 12,261, a gain of 54%. When Trump took office the DJIA stood at 19,827 and at the end of his first 29 months in office it stood at 26,600 on 6/28/19 a gain of 34%. But you will never see or hear the news media make the comparison and state the facts. They prefer to be dishonest with the people and go with the flow of the fairy tale life they live in. They have given Trump so much press and air time there is little left to have a dialog with America and inform the people.
President Obama sleeps well knowing of his accomplishments and the fact that he led the country out of the republican party's great economic recession. And despite all the good economic outcomes Trump inherited from President Obama, Trump still lags behind in his first 29 months in office.

The News Media's Silence On An Issue Important In The Democratic Presidential Campaign
As usual, the news media has committed a lot of time to the issue of segregation in the form of Kamala Harris' attack on former V.P. Joe Biden's statement. However, it is a non issue because Biden has a record as a long time U.S. Senator and former V.P. opposing racism and supporting humans rights. But in today's political world negativism is on top of the news media's mind.
And as a result one of Biden's position if he becomes President was overlooked and received no publicity at all. It has been the most important statement of any Presidential candidate. Biden said if elected he would bring our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and end those wars. Our troops have been in Afghanistan since 2001 and in Iraq since 2003. Of course, President Bush told America and the world the U.S. accomplished its mission in Iraq in 2003. Yeah, right. Our men and women in uniform have paid a heavy price for all those years. America's work is finished there and those two countries should be able to protect themselves after so many years of American training and no more Americans should have to die there.
Joe Biden has the experience to handle the Presidency if he is the democratic nominee and wins the general election. He also has the diplomatic capabilities to work with America's allies and deal with any threats from America's adversaries. He has a positive political record to run on and the political understanding that is necessary to run government. Biden will be a positive candidate while the news media will continue their silly reporting.

Louisiana's So Called Republican Conservatives Are A Sorry and Hypocritical Lot
So called republican conservatism in Louisiana just can not shake their ties to the extremes of Newt Gingrich. Now comes an article in the New Orleans Advocate dated 7/3/19 titled, Louisiana Voters Need a More Conservative Legislature, by Dan Fagan. Fagan thinks the republican controlled state legislature is not conservative enough because they voted to support Governor Edwards agenda that addressed the failed fiscal policies of republican Governor Jindal.
But Fagan thought those same republicans were conservative enough when they supported Jindal's policies and unbalanced budgets that created billion dollar deficits that Governor Edwards had to face when taking office. And to top it off Fagan's conservatives blew big time the $700 million budget surplus left by former democratic Governor Blanco. In the article, Fagan says Senator John Kennedy and Attorney General Jeff Landry will work to defeat some of those republicans they think are not true conservatives They think conservatism is elite and superior and use that ideology to suppress facts and thought. They lack the good judgement of our founding fathers and the spirit of being an American first.
Any one in Louisiana who pays attention would conclude that Jeff Landry and John Kennedy have a sorry record of accomplishments, just like the republican party itself. The latest example in the news tells of the failed republican School Voucher Program that cost the state and tax payers millions of dollars. The fact remains that conservatism escaped our political system when Newt Gingrich came upon the political stage. It became a extreme ideology with no positive accomplishments.
Unlike Mr. Fagan, the republican controlled state legislature knew it would be best to support Governor Edwards priorities because they knew they failed to put Louisiana's fiscal house on a sound footing during Jindal's eight years in office and that they themselves had no positive alternative. Democratic administrations always do a better job at governing because they believe in plans and policy while republicans use and believe in ideology. And that really says it all.

Despite Trump's Tariffs, The U.S. Trade Deficit Rises
The Commerce Department reported this week that the U.S. trade deficit rose to a 5 month high in May, 8.4%, $55.5 billion the highest since December 2018. The nations exports increased 2% while imports increased 3.3%. The increase in imports was mainly attributed to the import of crude oil and cellphones. The deficit in trade goods with Mexico rose 18.1% and with China it rose 12.2%. So the trade deficit continues to increase on Trump's watch despite his tariffs, his rhetoric, his tax cuts, his lies and his threats.
America still has an appetite for imported goods because America can not alone take care of her domestic needs. The void is being filled by foreign goods. Giving American business huge tax cuts and special loopholes do not result in business expansion. That should be fresh in the peoples mind since it has been reported that the Trump-GOP tax cuts were used by corporations to buy back their own stock.
Unfortunately, voters have allowed themselves to be influenced by Trump's tariffs and rhetoric. Farmers and consumers are paying the price and as of this writing, the Clinton administration had the best all around economy even though Clinton raised corporate taxes and on those making over $200,000 a year. Plus Clinton balanced the federal budget, something no republican President has accomplished since President Eisenhower in 1960,
The fact that the U.S. imported more crude oil and cellphones that added to May's trade deficit, should tell us something. Is anyone listening?

New Orleans Tourist Visitors Report for 2018: The Most Important Stat Was Missing
In a Times Picayune article dated 6/30/19 by Jennifer Larino titled, City Drew 11.6 million visitors last year, UNO reports told of a study by UNO's Annual Visitor Survey that reported the following: (1) New Orleans hosted 11.6 million visitors in 2018, up 5.5% from last year in 2017 that drew just under 11 million. (2) Visitors spending was $8.3 billion, up 11.7% from 2017. (3) The increases marked another year of growth for the city. Those numbers tell a good story.
But the most important story was absent from the report. And that story should have been how much sales taxes did that $8.3 billion of spending generate for the city treasury. And then check and see if those taxes were collected by the city. Certainly UNO has a way to calculate the answer just like they came up with the tourist information above. And like wise, the City of New Orleans has a way of telling if they collected those taxes.
It should be obvious to everyone why it is so important to know the answer. In fact, this writer thinks it is a question UNO should have been asked before the paper ran the story. After all, tourism is just another business that produces tax revenues in order to fund the city's needs and the people have a right to know the tax numbers and be informed.

President Trump Caves In While Meeting With China's Leader XI Jinping
President Trump has tried to establish a new trade deal with China for the past 29 months and recently ended several months ago when China left the talks. Trump then threatened more tariffs on China's goods entering America. But on Saturday at the Group of 20 meeting in Osaka, Trump and China's leader XI found a place to talk on the sidelines concerning the status of the stalled talks. In those talks, Trump caved and told XI he would not implement those threatened new tariffs if China agreed to resume the trade talks.
The reports said XI agreed to resume the trade talks at a date to be announced. There are a few reasons Trumped caved and changed his tune. Despite Trump's so called tough talk, China has the upper hand. In pay back for Trump's tariffs, China put tariffs on American farm goods and products that have severely hurt American farmers. And in fact, Trump has asked congress to legislate billions of dollars in aid to assist those American farmers which will add to the federal deficit. This is a campaign year for Trump and as of this writing his tariffs have cost the American consumer dearly. Trump does not want to go into an election year and nothing to show the voters for his tough talk.
But the bottom line is no matter when an agreement comes about, if it does, China one can be sure will benefit the most. Because they are investing in the technologies that will shape the future of business, jobs, the environment and people's lives.

Abortion: Poorly Served By A Political Dogma
Roe vs. Wade was decided over 40 years ago by the U.S.Supreme Court during its hearings after testimony by scientist and other professionals. The courts decision was a legal one based on that expert testimony, politics was not a factor. The decision of the court did not sit well with so called conservative republicans, religious groups and others and for over 40 years has done its best politically to undermine and repeal the decision.
Never mind that those same groups were silent prior to Roe vs. Wade when women traveled out side the U.S. to have an abortion when abortion was prohibited by the U.S. Everyone knew it was going on and in great numbers. But Roe vs. Wade was in the public news so politics got involved, chose sides to divide the public and play to their base and sadly 40 years later politics has not settled the issue.
Those republican leaders who support the repeal of Roe vs. Wade have been less than honest in their protest and that is why a political settlement has failed. Those leaders know full well the only way to change the courts decision is by a constitutional amendment. But none have had the courage or character to campaign and or propose such an amendment because they know the necessary votes are not there so they keep up their scam attacks.
All the while there is no public outcry by those who oppose abortion about the men who use no protection and impregnate their partner. Those men must know very little about the woman's desire to have a child if she became pregnant. Don't they have a responsibility? After all, it is the male politicians and religious leaders who are opposed to abortion at all cost.
And now the country is being exposed big time to many states with republican legislatures who are trying to politically subvert Roe vs. Wade with new abortion legislation that is being overturned by the federal courts. It is a never ending scam to obtain votes and divide the country over an issue that was settled legally over 40 years ago. The shame of it all is that the abortion opponents can not produce one person with the character, wisdom or courage to fight for a constitutional amendment if they feel so strongly about abortion.
The key to understand the underling problem of the anti abortion crowd is their rhetoric about their charges that Hillary Clinton supports abortion. Hillary Clinton chose life and brought a daughter into this world who in turn also brought a child into this world. Abortions in the U.S. have been going down for a number of years thanks to education and prevention, other education information made available by people and orginazations who are concerned with the problem and have no political axe to grind. They have accomplished more to bring the abortion rate down than all the anti-abortion crowd and their anti-abortion rhetoric and schemes.
After his election as Pope, Pope Francis said The Roman Catholic Church had grown obsessed with preaching abortion, gay marriage and contraception that he has chosen not to speak of those issues, despite recrimination from some critics. (reported in a PolitiDose commentary at the time dated 9/25/13) The Pope realized the abortion issue was not being addressed properly and 40 plus years of political posturing has not worked. It has only made the divide greater. What a shame on our political system that allows this to take place. Political rhetoric on abortion is empty.
