I am told if Biden or any Democrat gets to be President, the United States will become a “Nanny State.” What is a “Nanny State”? Is it a country that wants its citizens to breathe clear air and drink clean water? Is it one that wants its people to have good health and healthy, safe food? Maybe it’s one where millions of people aren’t begging for food on streets or dying on hospital steps? Is it one that gives people a little money when they are unemployed? Some people think it is Social Security and Medicare.

I think a “Nanny State” should do all of the above plus ensure our culture and its people should survive by doing its best to cut carbon emissions. It should try to preserve our remaining natural areas and wildlife. It should cut the number of guns especially assault weapons and high capacity magazines as almost every other country has done. A “Nanny State” would not allow companies and billionaires to own its elected official’s votes. It would ensure every voter could Vote and be counted. It would make sure our infrastructure was modern.

Perhaps a “Nanny State” is one based on the Preamble to the Constitution. How can anyone except a multi-billionaire or a person living in their own world not agree? Like it or not, everyone benefits from a “Nanny State.”
