    Now there's some brilliant thinking. While we ate legalizing weed which contains at least half of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoking, is inhaled more deeply, held longer and impairs? Great!

    I would then have to add the millions of people who have diabetes because of overeating the wrong food, the millions who are hospitalized for drinking alcohol and injure themselves or others, the elderly who choose to remain at home but are unable to care for themselves and break hips or have many falls, those with high blood pressure due to stressed relationships and jobs. The list is endless and therefore, that argument is unfounded and holds little water.

    I've been an RN for almost 9 years and would not go to see a conventional MD, DO, or APRN if you paid me. Do you know what you call the guy/gal who graduated last in their class in medical school? Dr.!! I have to carry insurance because of the law but never use it. I see a naturopath, or ND, and pay out of pocket. She spends up to an hour with me each visit, and it is only $85. Conventional docs and insurance companies are completely useless.

    No one has explained what her qualifications are or the fact that she brags about how much "soft money" and Dark money her family has spent buying their choice of how all Americans should be educated.This mission of hers appears to ignore the students and their parents in the U.S. And whether or not they agree with her Taliban style of religion she intends to force on everyone. A Cabinet Post should be sensitive to every one not just those who agree with her philosophy. I also wonder how many of these comments come from citizens with any education background. The comments by some about landslide victory and a clear mandate for change are obviously discounting the three million more votes Mrs. Clinton received. It appears that if you have enough money I.e.the upper one per cent, you can buy any position in the tRump Cabinet. Wondering if they, like tRump, are proud of the fact that they don't pay taxes. As Leona Helmsley once noted, only the little people pay taxes.

    Wrong. Unemployment is funded by employees wages. These are obligations to the employee that must be paid to the government on the employees behalf. This is a more functional way of collecting, reporting, and dispersing these monies. Nothing more.
