In response to letter supporting Trump

| March 7, 2017 3:00 AM

In response to the unhinged comments by Mr. Barney, from Polson, BTW, Russia DID interfere in the elections. 1) Trump has already issued enough ideas and orders to seriously shrink employment and lower wages for everyone making less than $100K per year. 2) Criminal illegal aliens, as well as criminal non-aliens, are routinely prosecuted according to existing state/federal law. 3) Trump’s tax “reform” is a giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of the working class. 4) Democrats, when in office, enforce immigration laws that already exist. 5) Trump’s order to ban immigrants is aimed at all of the wrong countries, if you take the time to consider where the majority of terrorists DO come from; residents and citizens of the USA. 6) Trump’s elimination of regulations opens the door to more rapid climate change, more wealth to the wealthy, and favors to special interests. 7) Repealing ACA will kill thousands of people. 8) Balancing the federal budget is a senseless objective when the country needs to deal with infrastructure that has been ignored by the previous Republican administrations and blocked during Democratic ones. 9) Trump’s idiotic thoughts for infrastructure are unobtainable unless the tax code forces the wealthy to pay their fair share. Talking points from Breitbart and Fox will always make a poor argument in fact, but one attractive to those who have drunk the right-wing cool-aid. Don’t worry, Trump will get his chance, but he will mess it up. Count on it.
