Contradicted by a Federal Infrastructure Bill that reaches into the meanest hollers in the most red of States.

Ditto for the Chips and Science Bill that is resulting in billions of dollars invested by gov and by businesses ACROSS the country.

What else? Oh yeah, diabetes is a health problem with a nationwide scope. So the cap on insulin prices for seniors in the IRA will be helpful. Where will it be most helpful? Yep, you guessed it. Look at the map.

The Dems want to extend the cap to ALL Americans. VERY Pro-American.

The GOP under Trump could have done all that I've listed with enthusiastic supports from Dems. Instead? Jack shit.

Where in the Country is Diabetes Belt and Why?


https://www.adwdiabetes.com/articles/where-is-diabetes-belt

The CDC determined the highest rates of diabetes in the United States are in a diabetes belt. The diabetes belt is similar to the “stroke belt” found in earlier studies. The diabetes belt is in 15 mostly Southern states. The diabetes belt includes 644 counties in parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. About 12 percent of the people in these areas have type 2 diabetes compared with 8.5 percent in the rest of the nation.


FACT SHEET: CHIPS and Science Act Will Lower Costs, Create Jobs, Strengthen Supply Chains, and Counter China

Sounds very pro-American to me.

Catalyze regional economic growth and development. The CHIPS and Science Act authorizes $10 billion to invest in regional innovation and technology hubs across the country, bringing together state and local governments, institutes of higher education, labor unions, businesses, and community-based organizations to create regional partnerships to develop technology, innovation, and manufacturing sectors.

These hubs will create jobs, spur regional economic development, and position communities throughout the country to lead in high-growth, high-wage sectors such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and clean energy technology. It also authorizes a $1 billion RECOMPETE pilot program at the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) to alleviate persistent economic distress and support long-term comprehensive economic development and job creation in the most distressed communities.

Provide STEM opportunities to more of America to participate in good-paying skilled jobs. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and workforce development activities are critical to developing skills needed for taking on the highly-skilled jobs of the emerging industries built on technologies of the future. To ensure more people from all backgrounds and all regions and communities around the country, especially people from marginalized, under-served, and under-resourced communities, can benefit from and participate in STEM education and training opportunities, the CHIPS and Science Act authorizes new and expanded investments in STEM education and training from K-12 to community college, undergraduate and graduate education.
