It’s not rocket science…

  ~ If you wonder why Puerto Rico’s recovery from the hurricane will not as timely as in Texas or Florida, you might want to keep in mind that the people there support a liberal government that has saddled them with a $5 billion debt they can’t pay.

It’s very difficult to get contractors to repair the damage if you can't pay them. I want them to receive help, but they shouldn’t blame the government for the consequences of their fiscal irresponsibility. I don’t like taxpayer funded bailouts of irresponsible entities, especially bureaucrasies.

  ~ Trump’s statement on the NFL protests during the National Anthem reflected the thoughts of many Americans, including my own. He just had the nerve to say it publically. I believe the marketplace will correct this issue. Loss of revenue will determine the outcome.

Pro football players are entertainers. When they cease to entertain or alienate their audience, they will either change their material or suffer loss of audience, and all that entails…

If you look up the definition of “nerve” in the future 2018 dictionary, Trump’s picture should be beside it. He has more nerve than anyone else I know outside of Hollywood. At least we don’t have to wonder what he really thinks…

  ~ Speaking of revenue, the proposed tax reform will increase government tax revenue long-term. This was proven by JFK and Reagan tax reforms. Example: 35% of $500 billion versus 20% of $1 trillion. Economic growth in America generates revenue for everyone, whereas offshoring assets and profits (globalization) promotes redistribution to other countries.

If the Obama/progressive taxation policies worked, we would not have doubled the national debt or have 95 million Americans not participating in the workforce. More jobs = more tax revenue for all entities, not to mention less welfare programs.

  ~ And then there’s the latest study on the cost of illegal aliens in America: $116 billion a year and increasing exponentially due to chain migration. Both Democrats and Republicans prefer taxpayers to fund these costs to keep cheap labor and increase their voter support. Just because it’s good for business doesn’t eliminate the devastating side effects.

Keeping the poor in their station by increasing a cheap labor force helps the wealthy and increases business profits. Why else would business take manufacturing to Mexico and China?

  ~ It will be a cold day in hell before I buy and/or read Hillary’s book. There is no way there will ever be a book on her published, while she is alive, that will tell the truth. History will not be kind to her.
