    I actually thought before the election that Trump would inch closer to this Prog goal.

    In fact, I view Trump as a Prog.

    They say that every trillion dollar spent of taxpayer money an angel gets their wings.

    Border control is a valid concern for a multitude of reasons.

    Feel free to mock those who are concerned about them and continue to lose elections.

    Which was the design.

    Better that than tax cuts for the rich.
    Sh, how in the hell can you have big deficits without a tax cut? 🙄

    We already have big deficits.

    Large infrastructure projects and tax cuts would each make them even bigger.

    A multitude of very bad reasons to those who want to keep the government away from running their lives.

    I am not running in any election and don't intend to, so I can neither win nor lose elections.
