What about the "virtual slavery" hard working, well FORMERLY hard working Americans are living in? Don't give me the "out of the shadows", "back alley abortion" bullsh!t. I'm no populist but I'm tired of seeing my fellow Americans taking it in the brown eye without the benefit of lube.
Oh, that's right, it's because the Buddha of Palm Beach talks about the way things are and the way things should be. I'm old enough to remember the way things were. If there were god-damned radio hosts, pundits and bureaucrats streaming over the border like salmon on the spawn there would be a different tune.
So, Mr. and Mrs. America are tired of playing BOHICA and are voting for their own interests, the people who thought they were in charge are getting a serious case of dick itch. The Leftists and rent a mobs don't need a reason to run through the streets, WTF are the "Big Boys" going to do when the population of Jerkwater and Bug Tussle get tired of the way things are?
Screw C*ck Sucker Cruz and Grifter Glen and every other horse's ass think America owes them. At least the welfare queens know how to do one thing correctly for their money.
So how in the hell does passing out teddy bears and blankets and little dollies to people translate to enslaving Americans?
Just because Deceiving Donny stole the "Wall" from Cruz, and then howled about building the largest public works project since the Autobahn, doesn't mean it is going to happen. If you don't think he's ever had illegals working for him, then you need to put down the pipe and wake up.
What they did with dolls and blankets and teddy bears for kids is no more an act of sedition than the USMC giving toys to underprivileged kids who are just as much a pawn in all this crap as the rest of us. That isn't the USMC endorsing welfare queens, but it is looking out for the ones caught in the crossfire, and that's as American as Apple Pie.
Sure, Americans are pissed--damnit, I am one. Because of imports, (and a lot of us doing our job too well), My income went from well over 100K to zero last year. But then I work in the oil industry, and you were all overjoyed about cheap gas the whole time you stuffed your tank with jihadi juice, funded our enemies, and were thrilled to take a 10% cut in fuel mileage so you could burn food in your gas tank.
The first thing Donny said in Iowa told me he was full of crap and I'll lay that out for you.
Trump said, (right after Cruz really pissed off the Iowa Governor and the Ethanol Lobby by saying Cruz would get rid of the mandate), that he would back the Ethanol mandate, seek to have it expanded,
and have the EPA enforce it to the fullest extent of the law.
That same ethanol mandate raised the price of your gasoline because the ethanol has to be shipped separately and blended locally, otherwise it will absorb water in transit and eat holes in pipelines and tanker trucks and other things we just don't want holes in. That's how ethanol fuel helps destroy fuel systems in vehicles and small engines. Because ethanol just does not have the same BTU yield per unit volume, you get the added bonus of traveling 10% fewer miles on a gallon of fuel. Both I and my father have been placed in life threatening situations due to the corrosive and hygroscopic properties of ethanol laced fuel.
Now, for a bonus (bone-us?), there is no single Federal Agency which has done more to make the climate hostile for industry in these United States than the EPA. Between moving target and ever changing arbitrary and capricious emissions "standards" and the expense of compliance, along with a host of other egregious acts, one of the things standing foursquare between American Manufacturing and putting America back to work has been the EPA, which has caused more offshoring than cheap labor elsewhere.
Aside from killing the coal industry with emissions standards that just won't stop changing for Power Plants, and regulations on "haze" (which happens anywhere there is water vapor in the air), prosecuting people for filling in a low spot on their property by calling it an "intermittent wetland", giving a million plus acres of Wyoming including private property to the Wind River Indian Tribe, and busting plugs out of mine portals and polluting entire rivers, the EPA has put an army of Americans out of work--and that's just a few of the high points.
How in the Hell is someone going to "Make America Great Again" and keep an agency like that?
And it is just one, although the standard bearer of Federal Government industry killers.
What cracks me up, is that if it complies with EPA regulations, Donny won't even have the EIS done before his presumed eight is up, much less The Wall (1954 miles of it) built. I remember before the government got a bunch of experts on our tab and started screwing things up. The river I grew up on far from where I now live, where I held a commercial fisheries license at the ripe old age of 14, was killed by one such agency--the fisheries industry destroyed, a whole (commercially valuable) species of clam wiped out, along with the crabbing, fishing and oystering industries.
Then some more government agencies came in and declared that no trees could be cut without permits, and 20 acres of planted second growth Red Oak timber--trees five feet in diameter--cannot be cut except on a tree by tree basis--millions of dollars worth of timber, ready to harvest, and the Government says NO.
So there is no love lost between me and Government, but I think you are in for a surprise when you find out your boy sees government as a way of picking winners and losers and not something to just GTF out of the way. At least Cruz understands there are definite Constitutional constraints which should be on that Government, and would be far more likely to impose those. Cruz, too, had advocated a barrier on the border, advocated deportation of illegals, and putting Americans back to work--by getting government out of the way, not by creating more of it.
As far as remembering goes, I still have my Goldwater Dollar, after all these years.
