Hey look! Mexico just got universal healthcare (aka single-payer healthcare, aka Medicare-for-all) for every citizen!
If only the "Hottest Country In The World" could afford that...
Unfortunately "the no more wars president" says there's no money for anything except war...

“Minnesota is currently at the center of what federal prosecutors call "industrial-scale" fraud, with allegations that up to $9 billion may have been stolen from Medicaid-funded programs. Federal investigators report that more than half of the $18 billion spent since 2018 on 14 specific "high-risk" state programs could be fraudulent.

Major Fraud Schemes Under Investigation
The fraud spans several specialized social service programs, many of which saw explosive, unexplained growth in spending:

Housing Stabilization Services (HSS): A program meant to help disabled and homeless individuals find housing. Spending ballooned from an estimated $2.6 million per year to over $100 million in 2024. Prosecutors recently charged "fraud tourists" from Philadelphia who traveled to Minnesota specifically to bilk this program for $3.5 million in fake claims.
Autism Services (EIDBI): This program's costs surged from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023. Scammers allegedly set up fake treatment centers, recruited parents with kickbacks, and billed for services never provided.
Integrated Community Supports (ICS): A newer program that saw spending jump from $4.6 million in 2021 to $170 million in 2024. Investigators are currently looking into "fly-by-night" operators who reportedly billed for assistance while simply putting clients in apartments without providing the required care.
Feeding Our Future: A related COVID-era scheme where a nonprofit allegedly stole $250 million intended to feed children. Over 60 people have already been convicted”

While Trump throws 770,000 hungry American children off SNAP...
In Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum just rolled out Universal Healthcare (aka single-payer healthcare, aka Medicare-for-all) for every citizen!
Now that is leadership, I’m both jealous and very happy for the people of Mexico.
Oh well, at least we have money to bail out Argentina, pay Iran $300 Billion in reparations and build the "world's greatest" ballroom!

One thing I noticed, in the coverage of Venezuela, where is the US military?
The media goes on and on about how the Venezuelan government is a no show, in the quake zone. No heave equipment to move debris. No relief supplies. The US military is really good at delivering emergency food rations and drinking water. I remember a US carrier going to Indonesia. The pipefitters on the carrier rigged up a pipe system to bring water straight up to the flight deck from the water purification plant, to expedite loading the helos. Sticks in my mind that badly injured people have been evacuated to US ships for medical care, in previous natural disasters. Why is that not happening here, especially as, according to Trump the Conqueror, Venezuela is now a vassal state? Maybe Trump the Conqueror only wants to blow stuff up, not "win hearts and minds" by helping people?

AND...line the pockets of Trump, his family and corrupt cronies with enough billions to put them in the oligarch class. Winning!

1) He has the attention span of a gerbil.
2) He must constantly move on to new idiocies to distract from the fact that he is central figure in the Epstein files.

1) He has the attention span of a gerbil.The Beeb had a guy on last night, who has recently written a book. He had considerable success working in the British financial industry. His new book started out talking about the people in "the city" who seem to always rise to the top, and how those same traits are becoming more common among the top levels of corporate hierarchies everywhere.

Looks funny and accurate I put it on my summer reading list. Thanks!
"In this remarkable book, Geraint explains that the world is rapidly becoming such a brutal place that soon it will only be psychopaths who succeed - whether the aim is to become top dog in business,
politics or, indeed, the clergy. Within these pages, you will quickly learn how to think like a stone-cold killer and, in so doing, become the very worst version of yourself."
