    And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall. $5.7 billion What if we instead added $5.7B in teacher pay? Or replacing water pipes? Or college tuition/prescription refill subsidies? Or green jobs? But notice how no one’s asking the GOP how they’re paying for it. https://twitter.com/axios/status/1075919668181909504 …

        $5.7B could buy a lot of insulin.

        Instead look into the research of Dr. Jason Fung to discover that there is a free alternative to insulin. Patients can be weaned from insulin as they decrease dietary carbohydrates and include intermittent/extended fasting to reverse diabetes.http://youtu.be/mAwgdX5VxGc

        Type 1 diabetics make no natural insulin so injections of it aren't optional; it's life support for us. Do your background before posting such sweeping generalizations filled with nonsense.

        But you can confirm: less carbohydrates => smaller insulin doses, right? (Following medical recommendations)

        If you dont have diabetes you literally have NO say in this. I hadn't eaten for 12+ hrs and my blood glucose was over 300. Type 1's need insulin no matter how much carb consumption because that is not the only factor played into rise/fall of blood glucose. Do your research!

        So you work and study in the field and your solution is "Cut back carbs" not " Fix the messed up patent laws/loopholes that are being exploited to keep insulin out of generic production"?

        What do we need preK for? Kindergarten is prepatory.... And every child has it already.

        Funding pre-k makes a great difference in young, malleable minds. Especially when less privileged ppl dont have the same access to enroll their child in a non-mandatory academic setting such as pre-k. Creates further disadvantage. Narrow the gap. Education always pays off.

        Children today are expected to know a fair amount when they enter kindergarten. Sometimes parents lack the resources to ensure their kids learn these things. Sometimes parents just don’t care. Pre-k programs help level the playing field and help give every child a chance.

        There’s a ton of research proving how important early childhood development is. Creates better learners & eventually better contributors to our society. Plus, many if not most Americans have to work before their kids enter Kindergarten & this would greatly help w childcare costs

        Kindergarten was early childhood development that everyone once pushed for. No resources necessary to talk to your child, read to them, teach them.

        True. And a) while most parents would prefer to spend that time with their kids doing all that themselves, most cannot afford to as our society is currently set up (without livable wages for many workers) & b) yes we once pushed for Kindergarten & we all benefited from it, right?

        Since then, research has shown that development is crucial from the infant stage & the years before kindergarten have an exponential impact on learning ability in the years after. Let’s give our country’s kids the best shot at success. If we lift them up, they will lift us all.
