Poem

Hope is the thing…

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

- Emily Dickinson

Health Care THIS IS NOT MY OUTLINE

THIS IS NOT MY OUTLINE

I wasn’t there for the end of last Tuesday’s class, so I’m not for sure what I am suppose to do…
I did read the syllabus, but I’m still confused…

Hilary Clinton had a good idea by stating that all children would get health care, but there are many cons to this.
-who’s going to pay for all the children?
-will our taxes be raised?
-is the answer giving all children money, or is it down to the core? These days many people are having children that didn’t want them or was an accident.
-people already have food stamps and get money for each child they have

Hilary Clinton
-more affordable than Obama’s
-supply more medical needs of families and insure all children
-lower costs and approve quality and cover everyone
-taxpayers will pay for drug R&D and not drug companies
-no national ban of smoking
