1. I'm surprised

That "massive in-person (Democratic) voter fraud" didn't make the list.

2. Great list: 1. America is in too few wars; 2. The richest pay too much in taxes;

3. America needs to do less about climate change; 4. We’re providing poor people — especially women — with too much health insurance; 5. Immigrants are ruining everything.

What was most remarkable about the debate was that the problems the Republicans are vowing to solve are almost completely non-existent.

To be clear: We have real problems, lots of them — even though as a nation we’re in much better shape in nearly every way than we’ve been in years, possibly all century. We’re experiencing the best job creation with the fewest number of American soldiers deployed in battle since 2001. But Republicans have invented “problems” that with their solutions would make our deepest and most vexing challenges worse — which actually makes a perverse kind of sense, since many of our worst problems are the result of conservative policies.

This isn’t just an election that pits two philosophies against each other. We face a party that sees the financial crisis and war-torn disasters of 2008 as the height of civilization, and they have a plan to get us back there.

Great article. Thanks for posting it, Panich52.

us.
