Humboldt County Progressive Democrat Club Endorses Bernie Sanders Nationally and Cliff Berkowitz Locally

Humboldt Progressive Democrats ClubPress release from Humboldt Progressive Democrats:

At its first meeting of the New Year, the Humboldt Progressive Democrats Club endorsed candidates for both local races and for President of the United States.

In a unanimous vote, Senator Bernie Sanders was endorsed as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. Before the vote, club members shared why Senator Sanders earned their support including his key positions and plans to address the climate crisis, human rights, and health care, as well as his consistent record over decades fighting for the working class and poor. Lesley Ester from the California Nurses Association, supports Bernie because “the world is dying – no other single candidate is trustworthy enough to mount an all out response.”

Also noted by Vice-Chair Michele Walford, “Bernie is the only candidate who calls for the elimination of the medical insurance industry in our current healthcare model. Medical insurance adds no value and serves only to delay or deny necessary treatment. It adds approximately 30% to our healthcare costs while hurting actual health care. Medical insurance is a billion-dollar industry that serves corporate boards and shareholders above all else. It is an unnecessary factor in healthcare costs and an impediment to saving lives. No other candidate addresses this directly or even indirectly which I find telling.”

Congratulations also to our endorsed local candidates:

District 1 Supervisor – Cliff Berkowitz
District 4 Democratic Central Committee – G. Mario Fernandez, Kathryn Sobilo, Christopher Musgrave, Richard Marks.

Progressive Democrats are encouraged to join us in working for the political revolution. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month at 6 pm – location is the Democratic Headquarters, 527 4th Street in Eureka. Visitors and new members welcome!

Democratic Socialism is capitalism that work for everyone, not just the one percent.
It’s a reallocation of our tax dollars to benefit the working class, not just the elite.
The myth that it’s bigger government ignores the true size of our current government that encompasses the Corporate special interests that Bernie’s presidency will kick out of Congress.
Labor is solidly for Bernie

We teach the kids in our freedom schools the evils of communism, socialism, and some democrats, like Pelosi, Schiff, and others. We would never vote for Sanders, or any other socialist democrat, or just plain democrat. Republican Trump has helped so many people, blacks, hispanics, so many. Unemployment lower than ever, millions out of poverty, millions off food stamps because they have good jobs. Wages have risen higher in last 3 years than the last 16 of Bush Obama. He protects religious freedom. He has signed so many bills helping our economy and workers do better. He has a very diverse cabinet, blacks, gays, hispanics women. He supports charter schools, and just signed another bill giving 400 million more dollars for opportunity zones in what were areas of poverty run by democrats, in the big cities. Sanders said he would stop all charter schools. That alone is awful, but he also said he would control the energy system, and medical. Fuck you Sanders, you are evil, and want to rule us, we will not be ruled by anyone. Trump has rescued thousands of Muslim gays from the middle east to help them avoid torture and death, same with Jews and Christians. And all the while he was being impeached, he passed many laws, and still runs the country with a great deal of expertise. What impeachment, we laugh at those who would try.

In the reality where you come from, did FDR seize the means of industrial and agricultural production and hand them off to nationalized labor unions? Did he abolish private property and nationalize all means of transportation? Did he seize total control of the government and eject all members of the bourgeoisie? Did he eschew business suits in favor of military fatigues?

I don’t think you know what Marxism is.

The tyrannical creep of our bureaucratic overlords comes in steps. Wilson made those first steps and FDR took it to whole new level issuing more executive orders than any president by a long shot. The neo-Marxist ideology assumes that the top down approach to governance is best because those who think it think they know what’s best for all of us. And it is the only way to implement their ideas. Bernie and his supporters seem to carry on the tradition of knowing what is best for all of us rather than leaving us to our own devices.

FDR (308/year) averaged 93 more per year than Coolidge(215/year). And that difference is more than twice as many per year that Trump (46/year) is issuing and 3 times as many as Obama(35) and Bush(36).

The term is neo-marxism.

Harding issued those EO’s over, almost, 2.5 years averaging 217 per year. Again, that difference is more than any president has issued over 2 years since Carter.

For the record, executive orders are extra-Constitutional and need to be reined in for every president. It circumvents the Legislative authority.

There are EOs and there are EOs. Most EO are over small short term issues either too small for Congressional attention or very urgent so Congress will address later. Some EOs are to modify or eliminate earlier EOs. So to evaluate them, it needs closer scrutiny. They should not create law under any circumstance, especially staying far away from it when it is not urgent.

The first serious breach of Congressional powers that created a law that didn’t go through Congress was the “Dreamers” regulation where the Obama Administration created a law pretty much out of whole cloth with the intent that when the Democrats won the election, they would move it through Congress and make permanent law. It was a horrible power grabbing precedent that Congress simply turned a blind eye to. Even if they agreed to it, Congress should have stood up on their hind legs and stopped it. It was not like the earlier “we just will direct our money as we think best”- which for them meant not enforcing laws- it created law.

Surprise, surprise…

It is always cheaper to have government operate health insurance because a government simply caps what medical care is available.

COUNTRY TAXES/GNP % GNP SPENT ON HEALTH CARE

USA 27.1 *********** 16.9
Canada 31.7 *********** 10.7
Norway 54.8 *********** 10.2
Sweden 4I.8 *********** 11.0
UK 34.4 *********** 9.8
Germany 44.5 ********** 11.1
France 47.9 ********** 11.2
Japan 35.9 ********** 10.9

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio
https://www.statista.com/statistics/268826/health-expenditure-as-gdp-percentage-in-oecd-countries/

Basically any stats provided by an agenda is suspect. Indeed the US spends more as a percentage of health care than other countries with nationalized care but it’s tax rate is less too. The average tax rate in the countries listed having nationalized health care is 41.5. In the US, it is 27.1. The difference being 14.4%. So while health costs about 7% more in the US (not the 30% alleged), the citizens in the US have more money in their pockets to pay for it.

The progressives always leave out that, while insurance does raise the costs, it’s also competitive in seeking savings in paying out while also competing in offering coverage. And that the bureaucrats have to be hired to do the paying and processing, which rarely results in an interest in efficiency. Bureaucracies cost and are not flexible or accommodating because, while people think their elected officials will act as a check on bureaucrats, they only take action by squeezing funding in one place to send it to another.

If a person is unhappy with his insurance, he looks to get another he likes better. If he doesn’t like the care he gets, he can look for another provider. When the government is in control,the government makes those choices for the patient. And not based on the individual’s well being as much as the government’s.

The bottom line is not what the progressives allege when the individual faces paying for health care. Indeed the national health plan people rarely have to pay out much when getting care but they can not choose where they get care or what that care is. They wait until the Government is willing to provide. They can’t shop around for better service or cheaper taxes. Government is prone to actually end up costing more to the citizen while simultaneously restricting their ability to choose for themselves. Great for the incompetents but soul killing for the competent.

Right now, its private, unaccountable, for-profit companies deciding what healthcare you get. Governments that utilize single payer systems all have better, far less expensive outcomes for patients. You’ve been duped.

First you have to understand what is being measured. The “amenable death rate” supposedly measures the prevention of premature death from causes that would had been successfully treated if hospital care is good. It does this by looking at a few types of illnesses to see where people who have these illness survive and where they don’t.

Like almost every other bit of datum, you have to what it means and what it doesn’t. Take strokes for example. There’s a short period after stroke where recovery is more likely. But if you live 4 hours from the nearest hospital who treats with the latest meds, you’re screwed even if the hospital gives great care. And the US has a greater spread of outlying people than any European country or Canada where most of the population lives in an area close to the US border. You can thank Obamacare for part of the problem because their rules made the little hospitals that peppered rural counties become unable to get reimbursement to fund the things the laws required. Always close to the edge, they had to shut down. This wasn’t insurance- this was the government.

Then there’s the things that the US is good at but the national health insurance countries simply don’t treat or count as a funding limit choice. Both ends of lifespans suffer from these governmental decisions. For example preemies- in all the countries I checked, they made a decision that a child must live 17 days to be considered a live birth and count in neonatal stats. Looks good for them. In the mean time that idea that the chances of survival are just too slim for the hospital to spend lots of money on treating them. But because in the US, the parents have a great say in the efforts to save a preemi, the US keeps these risky patients alive long enough to make it into the stats even though they have have a fairly high mortality rate. But the success rate is considered high enough to try. Thing like this make stats not as shiny as their users would like.

Something similar happens at the other end, where patients at about age 70- something are no longer counted in “amenable death rates” because they usually have multiple illness and don’t fit neatly into the “we saved them” categories. The treatments, screenings and other care follow suit where the government has made the choice for the patient not to do these things because it’s too expensive for the elderly and the chances are not so good to merit the funding. In Japan for example, dying patients are usually not told much less offered life extending care. In the Netherlands, they tend simply accept the diagnosis and are not offered unusual treatments. In the US good luck with that. Patients have choices and some choose to exercise them. Maybe the chances of success are not so good but success happens often enough for some to try. It costs but it’s the patient’s choice.

I’ve told the story before about belonging to an international website for a rare terminal disease where American sufferers were routinely shocked by the lack of options for European and Canadian sufferers. Of course it was not all one-sided as the national health patients were shocked about having to pay for some things out of pocket. I can say that dying having not spent money for care because the government says so would not and was not my choice. The government doesn’t care what the individual wants- they decide what is good and, if you disagree, tough.

The availability of government healthcare would not preclude the existence of private insurance. That’s a false dichotomy. Right now, unaccountable insurance companies and unaccountable employers have total control over your health care under our system, and that’s as real a tyranny as any other.

Tax Payer: your math isn’t accurate. You can’t just add up the top tax rate of the US and the top tax rate of countries with government health care, and deduce that we have more money in our pockets to pay for health care. Insurance is a total shit show here in the US, if you deny that than you must work for someone who pays your healthcare for you! Real people who aren’t in that boat and many others know how messed up it really is. Also; many European countries who provide government run health care also have a parallel private industry for people who can afford it. That seems like the way to do it.
So many inverse incentives with our system, it really should be totally scrapped and started over again from scratch.

Many do. But then their employer does the shopping around. Or used to before Obamacare included penalities to employers and the providers alike for providing either more or less than the regulation ruled.. Now what was a game of magic words to get reimbursement is not an encyclopedia of a million magic words. So providers either add more billing staff or join large groups.

The whole disaster makes nationalized health care inevitable. And that was the goal from the start. No one will remember when they could choose what their care was. But then they will forget too what it was like to pay for it either.

I would like to add that congress had to change the law so that no one like FDR could run for more than 2 terms again.

Not the banksters or war profiteers. FDR learned directly from Wilson on how to sell the country to a central bank and steal the people’s gold while getting us into WW2.

Despite popular myth Pearl Harbor was only a suprise attack to those in Pearl Harbor and those not in the loop. FDR sacraficed those people to galvanize the US population’s opinion for more war.

So in your universe, FDR was a bomb-throwing revolutionary Marxist that stole everybody’s gold and personally arranged the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. What a fantastical hallucinatory world you must live in.

In the real world, the rich were hoarding gold and manipulating the value of the gold-backed dollar for their own benefit. “”Stealing”” everybody’s gold by buying it from them at market value was the only way to wrest control of the dollar from the super-rich, and it basically worked until the 1970’s when the Bretton Woods System was dismantled.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

So riddle me this: If FDR was a Marxist, why did he want us involved in the European Theater of WW2? Wouldn’t he want the Russians to control as much of Europe as possible, so it didn’t wind up in the hands of bourgeois capitalists? Even stranger behavior for a Marxist, was FDR spending his entire life AS a bourgeois capitalist.

Why the hyperbole?

“… Rear Admiral Frank Edmund Beatty Jr., who at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack was an aide to the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and was very close to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inner circle, remarked that:

“Prior to December 7, it was evident even to me… that we were pushing Japan into a corner. I believed that it was the desire of President Roosevelt, and Prime Minister Churchill that we get into the war, as they felt the Allies could not win without us and all our efforts to cause the Germans to declare war on us failed; the conditions we imposed upon Japan—to get out of China, for example—were so severe that we knew that nation could not accept them. We were forcing her so severely that we could have known that she would react toward the United States. All her preparations in a military way — and we knew their over-all import — pointed that way.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Harbor_advance-knowledge_conspiracy_theory

FDR knew the Japanese were going to attack at some point. He probably didn’t know where, but the idea that the Pearl Harbor attack was entirely unexpected is patently false.

Unilaterally seizing the assets of private individuals is absolutely the actions of a despot(EO6102). Undoubtedly, he thought he was doing it for the greater good, but that is what all the neo-marxists think.

Inflating the fiat money supply simply devalued the money. Ending Brenton woods was the final nail in the coffin taking the limit off inflationary practices entirely.

I hope he turns his energy into holding other offices after his run, I would like to see what he does and could accomplish holding an office. And one thing that struck me is that he is fairly corporate as well..

I actually like the broad spectrum of candidates running, myself even if it is confusing. It brings up a lot of Alternative views on how to fix our problems.

Here is how Trump (age 73) will win, again:

1) Weak opposition, split between many poor candidates like Biden (age 77), Sanders (age 78) and Crazy Liz Warren, (age 70)…

2) Stupid socialist agendas, like anti-insurance, anti war, and anti business.

3) Idiots in the Democratic House voting to “impeach” a sitting President, on “Trumped-up” charges… Just before the election!

Sophomoric and stupid hi-jinks foisted by aged and jaded legislators just illustrates what is wrong in the USA, which is the wealthy and the elderly being in charge of the government!

Nothing is due to change here, and for the same reasons as nothing is due to change in Humboldt! Lack of evolution, and stoned apathy by the failing to be enfranchised young, will lead us to ruin, again…

[Thompson v. Smith, 155 Va. 367,154 SE 579 (1930)]

“The right to travel is a part of the liberty of which the citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment.”
[Kent v. Dulles, 357 U.S. 116, 125 (1958)]

“The right to travel, to go from place to place as the means of transportation permit, is a natural right subject to the rights of others and to reasonable regulation under law. A restraint imposed by the Government of the United States upon this liberty, therefore, must conform with the provision of the Fifth Amendment that ‘No person shall be * * * deprived of * * * liberty * * * without due process of law’.”
[Schactman v. Dulles, 96 App DC 287, 225 F.2d 938, at 941]

Andrew yang a young candidate that wants to give the country back to the people!!! The one candidate that makes sense. A family man who understands what the tax free mega rich corporations are doing to the masses.a guy who’s a math genius and who instantly wants to start stimulating the economy back into WE THE PEOPLE’S hands. The way our forefathers designed it to be. That’s why there trying to kick him out of the debates. A math man with the young population behind him,he knows our country has been stolen from us by a bunch of corrupt one foot in the grave theives and liars. The awnser is right in front of us all !!!!

I also like Andrew Yang far more than Bernie.

Actually, I really don’t like Bernie much at all.

Yang was educated to be a lawyer, not a mathematician. He subsequently worked in various corporations as an executive. The only thing math about him is his use of the slogan “Make America Think Harder”, abbreviated as MATH.

As Inigo Montoya said in the Princess Bride – “You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means” – and, if you support him and didn’t know his own wealth comes from corporations, I think he must have a commincations problem. In fact he is much more Trump-like than any other candidate.
