opening thoughts:
Gangsters, Gluttons, and Trump
by poet Lyn Ekedahl
The Don has gathered round him
A menagerie of tools
Who share their master’s qualities—
They’re wicked, mean, and cruel.

It's clear that for these minions
There’s no moral guide or creed.
Instead these bankrupt villains
Are guided by pure greed.

Greed takes many avenues.
Think money, power, status. 
These thugs are scoring big time,
Using government apparatus.

The Don and little donalds 
Are soaking up the cash.
Around the world, they’re hustling
In a money-grubbing dash!

And, here at home, the Donald,
His greatest con pursuing
Wants payment for his legal fees!
It’s us that he is suing!

For Donald, there’s no bottom.
For him, the bottom’s top.
The challenge for the rest of us?
How to make this creature stop!

on the affordability question:  A car or health insurance that is the question: Americans can’t afford their cars any more-Wall Street is worried
The cost of health insurance a family jumps to $27,000 no wheels - no job no health insurance - debt or death
