Trump is a fucking moron and incapable of getting needed cooperation. many of his policies generally make sense. A rational, reasonable personality probably gets more through with a little compromise. Impossible though, because he's such a narcissistic douche.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Maybe. I see both sides of the immigration issue. I think the Dems are willing to give here. We should give the illegals currently here citizenship but require them to pay taxes and a five year vesting period that if they are convicted of a felony, they get deported, after serving the appropriate time in prison. Go further and have them pay a higher tax rate for the first five years. Entering illegally afforded them opportunity. If they don't like it, they can leave.WestlinnDuck said:Do open borders increase the struggles of most working Americans to achieve a reasonable middle class lifestyle? If you care about the private sector American middle class how in the hell can you be a leftard? Open borders and the green gaia religion fraud cost them hundreds of billions. You do realize the leftards own the public education system?
In exchange for this, the Dems need to agree on controlling inflows. I think they're willing if the Republicans give on the citizenship for those currently here.
Mostly we need a grownup in the Whitehouse capable of bringing both parties together and solving our country's challenges.
The dude is a fucking Democrat
Trump started off as a douchebag but he's turned into a bigger asshole because hours after his election, the impeachment movement began.
You'd be a little cunty too if you'd just pulled off one of the biggest political upsets in history and the losers immediately went into dickhead mode instead of seeing whether they could work together.
So fuck the fuck off with that bullshit about 'rational' and 'reasonable'. The fix was in from the outset.

Get rid of GMA and incent businesses to site outside of the downtown core or have a remote workforce. Traffic problem solved.Baseman said:
Traffic sucks and cuts into worker productivity. What's the solution? Raising rider ticket prices is one way to start.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Revenue isnt a problem. Spending is.
Take for instance our friendly neighborhood Sound Transit -
Too many kids go to college who should never set foot on a campus.Baseman said:Oh and fuck AOC and her "there should never be billionaires" That's socialism. I'm a leftist primarily due to the struggles of most working Americans to achieve a reasonable middle class lifestyle. Medical costs are way to high. Education is way to expensive and as a country we are have fallen as the rest of the world catches up. Student loans are out of control and is a drain on the overall economy.

Prepare for the forward reality that the Highest paying jobs (Household Incomes) will be Largely, remote or at least Part time w/ flex.
Big Cities could lose control of this pretty quickly. -
15% flat and let’s roll.

I do and Nancy and crew don't get a pass. The point is Trump should be above the petty bullshit and lead. His petulant behavior hurts his cause and the country's. He's galvanized an AOC/Bern movement people buy into because they hate Trump. Every day we move closer to socialism. Not a direction I want to go.Sledog said:
You don't see the resistance for EVERY single Trump request? How many bills sit in the house right now because Nancy won't let anything Trump wants onto the floor? How much do the left stuff into bills like the last stimulus that is far far from needed. The left is focused on illegals at the moment for their votes in this and future elections.Baseman said:

Rise above the Twitter attacks and lead. Do that and Trump gets more of his agenda through. Despite the rhetoric, a president can't ramrod an entire agenda through the House and Congress. It takes a real deal maker, not an impish bully. Drain the swamp, please.
Reagan, Nixon, and Kennedy delivered because they worked both sides of aisle.
For the record, I voted for Reagan, Bush Sr. both times, Bush Jr. both times before moving left. I'll happily switch back for the right Republican.
Also, fuck Warren. Fuck Bernie and fuck Sleepy Joe. -
And get some uniformity in sales taxes across states. SD vs Wayfair ruling is a pain in the ass for business.thechatch said:15% flat and let’s roll.

On energy when we have renewable energy we will all know it. And it will come from development in the USA. There is now a big demand for anything with green in front which is why we have so much false advertising on green things.
Like a real pandemic with bodies stacked like cordwood, or porn, you will know renewable energy when you see it.
In the meantime we need carbon. A lot. And our people are making that cleaner. We are still in the mid east because the west needs us there. The same countries that are dismantling nukes and letting Greta set policy -
And now, an entire generation of learners pre-K thru 12 are being fire tested into online learning using the most State of the Art mass-education tools the World has ever created.Swaye said:
Education costs what it costs because of Uncle Sugar and his college loans programs. All the "free" money in the system has distorted supply and demand curves for college costs.Baseman said:
I don't disagree. Lefties have to give on the welfare for the lazy. That said free markets have failed miserably reigning in rising health care and education costs. Infrastructure sucks. Population growth increases the number of drivers on the road. How do you fix? Spending less makes sense on paper. Cutting welfare isn't enough. As a country we can't keep kicking the can down the road. At some point we have to address, no?RaceBannon said:I'd be willing to treat all income equal but not at 37%. If Buffet wants to pay the same rate as his secretary then lets do 15% across the board
Any changes require a change of mindset. The government isn't your ATM, you are. People don't work hard everyday so you can sit in mom's basement and yell at people about the flu while demanding the government pays the rent for you
This system works when people carry their weight and then there is plenty left over for those that truly can't
Wonder why one of the lessons of the Vid isn't how healthy single occupancy vehicles are and stand alone housing. Distancing. Instead the planner still want to jam folks together like a NY nursing home
edit: Hope @UW_Doog_Bot doesn't shit all over me
Simultaneously, the highest income and most essential employees, those having and raising those kids are also producing from home.
Once a lecture goes online?
Higher Education is about to be Ubered. -
And Google and the rest of high tech hire too many skilled Indian and Chinese programmers and pay them big salaries because our country lacks enough qualified candidates. Make education affordable (real marketable skills only) and Americans get more of those jobs. The economy grows.BleachedAnusDawg said:
