All you have to do is not be a politician trying to figure out how to be reelected! Just think how much better US could be if politicians cared about the country as much as they cared about themselves.

Although SS is one of the bigger federal gov't follies, the Federal gov't would need to finish repaying the trust fund, than let payments decrease. Since SS (and Medicare) are self funded, it is different than income tax funded programs. Obviously states would need to pick up programs that...

Yes. There is a very small list of things the Federal Government should be doing. As you can see, by getting involved where they shouldn't, the Federal Government has bloated. "Sticking to the knitting" would be a great idea. I haven't had a chance to do it yet, but look at the timeline for...

God bless the land of fruits and nuts!

Don't recall if I've had the opportunity to write this yet. Sorry if it's already been said. The Federal Government should not be involved in (pay into) things that favor or disfavor any person, group, community, state, etc. I'm all for helping people, but at the state/community level. There...

I don't agree with "aid" from tax $ at any level. Now if we get something back like mineral rights or strategic military land that's a different story.

So give away $1B in equipment using our tax $ and the benefit is (being generous) $ .3B in payroll and profits to companies. I suppose that is good in the eyes of an Economist. Not so much using logic like an Engineer would. If there is excess mfg capacity, perhaps it's time to reevaluate...

I agree with all this in my community also. I was referring to 3rd world assistance vs. 2.5 world assistance. I agree one needs to careful with scam charities; they are not all scams.

Never heard the phrase, but makes complete sense. There is a solution, but don't know what it is. Frequent TV commercials talking about sending aid overseas; don't recall seeing any for resolving our own issues.

What does that mean? So the company bought their stickers from China?

I don't hire fly-by-nights. Both companies I had bid were established over 50 years. One got roof, other got windows. It's easy to judge the crew by meeting them. White, no accents, established for many years locally pretty good indicator. Not seasonal crews, work full-time year round. There...

No contradiction. Mass implies large quantity not schedule; one plane at a time. Might need some bigger planes.

What is the 2.5 world? Skip the middleman; on a bus/plane and out.

Finding 15M+ illegals doesn't happen overnight. From what I've read/heard, the low hanging fruit and most desireable to eradicate are not on the farms. I had a reroof a few years back. Condition of the contract was no illegals; I had a crew assigned that I did not question. To be clear, I am...

Look at the benefit: some would not be able to keep up with one job, so they'll need 2 or more. When the mass deportations happen, a lot of jobs will need to be filled; there will be needy people to fill those jobs. Prices will go up because of the increased labor costs. The cycle continues...

Which of those is a bad thing, and why?
