Dr. Phil and RFK Jr. get more clearly and deeply into the state of our union today. They look at our present problems and their solutions. The talk of our great and long term problems now. Kennedy names and describes many of them in ways we can understand. Then he begins to describe ways that we can resolve them. He goes on to say that he intends to continue to act to do all he can to help us to resolve our common difficulties. He sees some of our difficulties as deep and systemic, but with solutions we can handle.
He sees unnecessary suffering in American families. As an example he sees the health of Americans as declining. He sees are health as having slowly declined to a place worse than any of us can remember. He points to evidence that American health is worse than many countries we once lead in heath. He describes our present state of health and how we can improve it even as we lower healthcare costs. He point to clear, available we can improve national health!
Of course he also sees how our work and our money has produced less and less "wealth" and points us toward ways of improving that situation. He has much of value to say about ways to improve the state of our union.
I see us as having forgotten how to take care of ourselves together. We seem to have nearly completely forgotten how to do democracy. We have in most part lost our republic without even noticing. We can again take in hand our united self care. With will we, we can learn to act as a republic and move toward more productive democracy. Will we?
