Labour's Student Debt defence is not very convincing
The Standard reports that: 'However, Mr Corbyn’s aides stressed that he had never promised to scrap the student tuition fee debt mountain. A source close to the Labour leader stressed: “Imran was mistaken. That was not our policy.”' I presume that these Labour Party aides can point to their correcting Imran Hussain before the elction. No? Thought not! BBC running with this story? No, how surprising!
"Life Is Truly A Ride..."
"Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he's ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair's messed, you're out of breath, and you didn't throw up." - Jerry Seinfeld

It might be cruel to ask the following question in the presence of these veterans, but millions of other people have been forced to pay for all of this, and they need to be protected as well. And so, with condolences to the young people who signed up for these wars believing they were actually defending the good, we must ask this question: What was the payoff?

United States Health Care - Paying More and Getting Less
Commonwealth Fund's most recent international comparison of health care certainly makes the United States health care system look like one of the weakest in the developed world.

Did President Trump 'Cross A Line' When He Asked Active-Duty Personnel To Lobby Congress?
*Andrew Exum, The Atlantic:* *The Dangerous Politicization of the Military* *By asking active-duty personnel to lobby Congress in their own self-interest, President Trump crossed an important line.* Last week, the head of the French armed forces angrily resigned after disagreements with his new president, Emmanuel Macron, over the defense budget. This was the first resignation of its kind in France in six decades, but it was enough to remind me how much Americans take healthy civil-military relations for granted. Unlike the French, for example, who have had some terrible episodes... more »
