I’ve written and never hit “publish” on a few political opinion posts [even though this IS my blog]. A lot of policies could affect our family now with a “disabled” member. Not a fan of Betsy Devos. Not a fan of Jeff Sessions. Not a fan of the possible health care act - specifically as it could affect Hannah down the road.
Wishful thinking: we had a government who would actually work together [you know like most of us at our own jobs] to find proper solutions - then maybe I don’t have to lose sleep at night. Or read [ as best as I can find ] unbiased articles on these possible policies without getting a knot in my stomach.
So you can read these if you are curious about where we sit - or not:
