Letters – Orange County Register

If this socialism madness continues, I will eventually decide to leave this state and take my millions of purchasing power with me. I depend on my private insurance plus my wife’s Medicare Plus private insurance to choose our doctor for her disability. It may not be perfect, but it’s much better than letting a state run train to nowhere, and DMVs. This must be a campaign trick. The final quote of this social drug was $400 billion.

The tax increase will not provide enough money to finance. I don’t want to lose my private insurance. I want to get the doctor I want.

Again, I will leave the state where I was born and raised in a split second if this passes.

Biden Voting Measures

Re “Fun to Discuss with Senate Democrats on Voting Measures” (January 13):

I am a lifelong Democrat who has worked on Capitol Hill. Honestly, I’m sick of Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Given the reluctance of these two obstructing lawmakers to support President Biden’s latest effort to reform the filtration system, it’s time for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to play hard.

Schumer needed to strip them of their various committee duties, including Veterans Affairs, where they served together, and insulate them from 48 of their Democratic colleagues. He also needed to go one step further: Introduce legislation that would reduce federal aid to West Virginia and Arizona.

Two different opinions

Re “Federalism tests progressivism versus neo-nationalism as a threat to free societies around the world” (January 9):

What a big dichotomy between these two opinions.

On the one hand you have Susan Shelley, with a very rational view of life, government and ideologies and on the other, John Aubrey Douglass.

Reading these two things, it will become clear to you why education is so far removed from reality and not helpful for the growth of the greatest nation in the history of this planet and its growing population.

It would take too many words to answer the cripplingly profound agenda this gentleman has put forth and so I will leave it up to the reader to examine the vast disparity between knowledge as Mrs. foreign claims and dogma proclaimed by Douglass.

The best placement I’ve seen in a good time by a newsgroup that presents life and reality versus a superficial and poorly captured grasp of the agenda of an “educator” and politicians on the left.

Living life with COVID

Re “Learning to live with COVID” (January 9):

Matt Fleming, thank you, thank you, thank you, for being sensible and mature in the COVID life. I have also been paranoid by some of my friends who are deeply paranoid about this new illness. It was as if for the first time they had to face the fact that death would happen. I wholeheartedly agree that we need to take all possible precautions, and then go live.

California Healthcare Proposal

Obviously, Governor Gavin Newsom is in favor of California’s single-payer healthcare system, but I have a few questions for him before he gets serious about the idea. Does it run better than DMV?

Is it more efficient than High Speed ​​Rail? Is our health care system really improving? I certainly doubt that. But just as importantly, what are his real goals?
