One Day at a Time, Countdown 1,402 Days

Countdown 1,402 Days to the Next Administration

One day at a time.

One hour at a time.

One second at a time.

The chaos president waxes imperialistic.

He want to annex Canada

He invites Canada to join the low-tax U.S.

Is he ignorant of Canada’s health-care system?

All Canadians are covered

by a single-payer system

supported by taxes.

Health-care costs in Canada per person

are about half U.S. health-care costs per person.

U.S. has the worst health-care system

out of 11 high-income countries.

Canada ranks next, but still far better than U.S.

Why would Canadians want to trade

their health care for U.S. health care?

The chaos president knows nothing of this.

One day at a time.

One Day at a Time, Countdown 1,403

 Countdown 1,403 Days to the Next Administration

 

One day at a time.

One hour at a time.

One second at a time.

The chaos president waxes imperialistic.

He wants to take back the Panama Canal,

which he claims the United States built.

Fact: Workers came from the U.S., but also

from around the world.

Mostly from Jamaica and Barbados,

and also from Europe and Asia.

Many, many died, from disease and

from harsh jungle conditions.

They also faced racial discrimination.

The chaos president knows nothing

of this history.

The chaos president claims U.S. ships

are ripped off by fees they pay

to use the canal.

Fact: Every country pays the same fees

to use the canal.

The chaos president knows nothing

of this history, yet he blusters through

what he thinks is foreign policy.

One day at a time.
