Privatization Of Emergency Services

Part of the Neoliberal Agenda is to raid core Government services for cash they can plop in Billionaires’ pockets. You certainly see this in the Charter School movement which seeks to ravage the Education budgets of States and Municipalities by providing sub-standard results, using public resources at below market rates, and stealing money from Unionized …

So define ‘Liberal’ for me.

I’m obviously confused. You see to me ‘Liberal’ means socially progressive and non-discriminatory, someone who’s in favor of economic equality and the Labor movement, someone who believes in democracy and accountability to the electorate, a person who values courage and accuracy in reporting.

I come to you tonight with mixed emotions and a confused forecast. Brexit is really a much bigger deal than you get even from careful reading of non-United States english language newspapers, let alone the airheaded gasbags on cable TV.
