Not familiar with the Regan thing. Both my SILs parents worked at "The Pack"; one of the best paying jobs in the city, they had all their body parts. I've heard things have changed. I think you covered my beliefs, than continued with an emotional rant. For clarity, I disagree with Federal...

Read back, legals are welcome. Got to get some of the "I'm too good for that" off gov't assistance before we know if we need to import unskilled.

Once gov't assistance is gone, they will get hungry enough. If I did the emoji thing I'd do a thumbs down for UBI.

We don't need to import uneducated; have plenty here already. I haven't looked at immigration rules, but it should include "skills we need" criteria. Unskilled is not a skill.

The International Standards world (i.e., ISO) already uses English to conduct meetings. Although most contingents speak English (better than Americans), some bring interpreters.

Lots of legal immigrants speak Spanish also. Legal immigrants are welcome; deport the illegals and fine those that employ them. I can’t speak for who was employed to build the house I live in now (1981), but 4 years ago it was reroofed by a crew of white, english speaking locals. The house I...

All ideas that one disagrees with are bad. It can be made to work. I choose Fidelity, because that's who I use, there are others. Fidelity manages $4.5T; the OASDI Trust fund is $2.8T. Yes there is a way.

I bet my Fidelity guy could offer a solution.

These two are self funded and shouldn't be considered part of the trimable budget. If the self funding isn't improved, benefits should be cut, not supplemented w/ income tax $.

I'll run against you, first term: Immediate hiring freeze Seal the borders, enforce current immigration laws to see if they need modification. Cut all subsidies 25% each year. Announce first 3 Departments that will be eliminated; there is your pool if you need an eemolyee. Look at pieces of...

One of the few things mentioned that is actually federal duty.

The President of who cares or irrelevant in the big picture.

Nice new direction, # of people. Pretty sure we've been talking $. Is it possible for fewer people to spend more money? Swing, miss. Fact: there is federal gov't spending that is not aligned with what the Constitution indicates they are assigned. Regardless of the number of people involved.
