When the Army needs a new general they don't interview outside the Army. Great choice city council.

That made zero sense, the Army is worldwide they bring someone in from another command. So they get fresh ideas, break complacency and to energize the command. Things must have changed a lot since you was in. I spent 22 years in the Army and never seen it

we have a huge problem with crime and shootings in columbia. i think the new police chief is part of the problem and does not bring any new ideas or expertise to the dept.

When racially disparate stops continue to go up, it's time to shake up leadership as doing more of the same just guarantees more racist practices.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
