Bloomberg: The Billionaire Nothingburger
By E. Jeffrey Ludwig
Michael Bloomberg, who served as mayor of New York City, has announced that he is a candidate for the Leftocratic Party's nomination to run for president in 2020. In his announcement, he said President Donald Trump is an "existential threat" to our country. This hyperbole is his way of reaching out to the extreme, panicked, deranged, and enraged Leftocrats who literally believe that everything worthwhile about America is being assaulted by our president.
Additionally, he noted that health care costs need to be addressed, that we live in an economy that is "tilted against most Americans," that we have a "cruel and dysfunctional" immigration system, education, climate change, and Washington gridlock. These glittering generalities regarding areas for improvement represent his attempt to play on the public's fears without being too specific. The question of immigration has been boggling our leadership's minds since the 1980s. Ronald Reagan's amnesty for illegals was supposedly going to solve the problem, but it served only to send a message: "come to the USA illegally, and eventually you'll get the citizenship you crave." Then we had bipartisan support for a fence in 2006, which was signed into law, but it was never fully implemented, partially because of objections and obstacles raised by the Department of Homeland Security and partially because of a shell game by our congressional representatives in both houses who wanted to appear to be doing something to protect our borders while shoving implementation opportunities under the rug.
