Donald Trump Praises Australia’s Universal Health Care System | HuffPost| While getting rid of the AHCA
The comment came hours after Republicans in the House advanced legislation to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
Turnbull in turn said " In his opening his remarks, Turnbull said "it's great" Trump and House Republicans succeeded."It's always good to win a vote in the Congress, or the parliament as we call it," Turnbull said. "I've got to say, it's always satisfying to win a vote when people predict you’re not going to win it too.""So keep at it, it's great." MT
Do either of them understand what it was they were saying?

WHO Said THIS?
Too often the makers of public policy forget that they “are attempting to improve our society, not just our economy”
“Do we want to build a society where we consciously create an underclass … a group of people who cannot hope to share in the life, ambitions and achievements of the rest of our society?” Talk about a bleeding heart! He went after privatization, the banks, the miners, monopolies, multinational tax dodging and unfair wages. In conclusion,he said he hadn’t “suddenly woken up a socialist” but was rather “still basically an economist”. And one who believed in markets. “But I want them to work for the greater benefit of our whole society, not just to benefit a few.”
Sorry, but judged by your old neoliberal canons you have woken up a socialist – or at least a social democrat, or someone in the very broad centre of Australian public opinion since Federation, and at all events a natural fit for a Labor Party where you might be usefully set to work writing a manifesto for the new order.
