I’m struggling today…

Well…it’s another one of those days where I am struggling to come up with a topic for this one and I’m not sure why…there is lots of stuff going on but I’m just not feeling the outrage that I normally use to fuel these…I wonder if it’s trump fatigue? When there is a new scandal almost every day, it does make you weary reading about all that all the time…and, I’ve been in a pretty good mood today and that doesn’t help. Okay, maybe I should talk about the debacle of an interview that Betsy DeVos has on “60 Minutes” last night….if there has ever been a less qualified person for ed secretary, I don’t know who that would be. And, here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter to the repubs that she dumber than a box of rocks…and her dismal performance at her confirmation hearings was repeated in the interview last night…when she was asked if she has ever visited any underperforming schools to see what the problems are there she just looked blankly at Leslie Stahl and said “oh, maybe I should”…and in the rest of the interview she showed that she is uniquely unqualified for the job….I think people should remember that she and her other rich allies did their best to kill off public schools here in Michigan so they could line their pockets with tax money that went to the charter schools here…and this is the model she wants across the country nevermind that the founders of this country (some pretty sharp people) knew that public education was vital to a working democracy. I think ole Betsy is the best example of why we need a 90% inheritance tax in this country….just because she has inherited money doesn’t make her an expert on anything…a fact that is reinforced every time she opens her mouth….hey, I guess I did have a topic…
