CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 15, 2026
IN A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS, CONGRESS MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT PROFILE. ACCORDING TO POLLS – WHICH HAVE FREQUENTLY BEEN WRONG– DEMOCRATS WILL WIN A HOUSE MAJORITY. THE SENATE IS TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
IF YOU WATCH THE TV ADS ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY THEY ALL SAY BASICALLY THE SAME THING. POLITICIANS PROMISE THEY WILL LOWER THE COSTS OF EVERYTHING, BUT NEVER SAY HOW. THE MARKET DECIDES THOSE THINGS. THEY WILL IMPROVE EDUCATION. SCHOOL CHOICE IS IMPROVING EDUCATION.
MISSING FROM ALL THE ADS IS WHAT YOU AND I SHOULD BE DOING FOR OURSELVES. WE HAVE PUT TOO MUCH FAITH IN GOVRNMENT AND NOT ENOUGH IN US. INITIATIVE AND MOTIVATION WERE ONCE RECOMMENDED TO IMPROVE ANY LIFE, AS WE APPROACH ANOTHER OPEN MEDICARE ENROLLMENT SEASON, YOU WILL HEAR THE WORDS “ENTITLEMENT, BENEFIT AND FREE.”
DIDN’T PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY SAY NOT TO ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY? IN THE AOC AND BERNIE SANDERS AMERICA, KENNEDY WOULD NEVER BE ELECTED. COME ON AMERICA. STOP BEING PASSIVE AND DO MORE FOR YOURSELVES. RIDE A BIKE OR GET AN ELECTRIC CAR TO SAVE FUEL. CUT BACK ON CERTAIN FOODS AND LOSE WEIGHT. REDUCE SPENDING. WE CAN DO IT! I’M CAL THOMAS.
