[quote=flu][quote=AN]flu, now that I think about it, if this was proposed and implemented with Obamacare (i.e. those who voted for Obama cover the cost instead of forcing the middle class to do it), we might not be talking about Trump right now and the stupid wall or the ban.[/quote]
True, but at the same time, there were alternatives to healthcare. There’s no alternative to “no wall”. If our government wants to enforce immigration laws, fine. i don’t see how a wall is very helpful, considering like in SD we already have one or two. It would be interesting though that if we adopted a crowd sourcing model of funding certain projects. For example, people that want a high speed train could contribute and those that didn’t don’t. Those that contribute would pay a much reduced rate for use. And those that didn’t well, would pay a lot for it once it’s done.[/quote]I totally agree. But at least it takes one of his voters’ main reason for voting for him. Whether it would have made a difference, who knows, but I would think it would. But no one will know. We are where we are because of the decision the politicians made over the last 8 years. Remember, “Election have consequences” and “I have the pen and the phone”? Yep, we’re now in pen and phone overdrive. Not only that, Dems used the nuclear option and now, Rep only needed 51 votes to confirm Trump’s nominees. Thank you very much.
