But you do agree that the fed gov is more capable of deciding how to spend someone's hard earned money than the one that made it, right? And who gets to decide how much one "needs"?

lol...so you think the fed gov is serving a Biblical role by overtaxing folks. Greed, as you call it, is what I call the entrepreneurial spirit, which is what made this country the greatest that has ever existed.

Stick to the wall...the list of nonsensical U.S. policies could take forever to list. We're talking about this particular one he is addressing.

Enough said...you are of the mindset that one should be penalized for success and the money that is confiscated at a higher rate goes to the gov which you obviously think is more capable of spending that money than the one that earned it. Most likely you think it should be taken from the maker and given to the poor downtrodden taker in the form of welfare. That very sentiment is ruining this country.

Do you agree with the policy that the more you make, the higher percentage you should be taxed?

Bargain on how many illegals to allow in...maybe there is no bargaining room on that one. Good for him. Finally we have someone that doesn’t want to bargain on nonsensical policies that are bad for the U.S.

[Hidden Content] What does this guy know?

So give me the solution. And yes, I know Democrats intentions...it’s reflected in policy.

Never again vote for a lib and this nonsense will go away.

We just thought the Kavanaugh hearings were bad...replacing a lib on the SC will showcase the dems resistance and childishness like nothing we’ve ever seen. Bring it on!

I am definitely no fan of eminent domain but if it is for a legit national security problem...I’m all in. Question, if walls don’t work, why does the White House, Fort Knox or any number of rich folks and secured locations need them? We all know they work, Dems are bucking this because they know those that come across benefit them. Stop insulting conservatives intelligence by suggesting otherwise. Democrats are a sad lot, they can never state what their true intentions are, even when everyone knows.

Do you drive on highways? You must be a fan of eminent domain...smh. Take the time to see what present and past border patrol folks have to say about this epidemic and the wall. I consider the boots on the ground to be the experts, not the Democrats in Washington.(who actually thought this was a great idea not long ago) About to be in a deer stand...look forward to continuing the debate later.

5 billion does not make this a centerpiece by a long shot, it’s a drop in the bucket and if a Democrat President was in office the Democrat controlled House would be all over it, their previous statements prove this, as well as it proves their hypocrisy. They are the ones playing games here and the shutdown is 100% on them. As far as evidence of our porous southern border, there is plenty of evidence out there and the last caravan will only embolden more of the same and most likely on a larger scale. Community organizing gets more efficient with time. Build the wall...they work, we all know the opposition has nothing to do with money, it’s because of silly political games from Dems and their hatred for Trump.

An invasion has nothing to do with whether the invaders are armed. Do some research...the numbers coming across (just those that we know about) are alarming.

You are wrong, that’s exactly what is happening. Even your Democrats were calling it a crisis before Trump came along. Do some research and see how many are crossing our border illegally each year and tell me what you call it. We haven’t seen the last of these caravans, you can count on it.

[Hidden Content] From your 2 posts I can tell you’re another reasonable lib, but here you are.

cnn hasn’t had an interest in facts for a while now.

Don’t you think it would make sense to downsize the fed gov so shutdowns wouldn’t even be a option for the politicians? It would also save lots of money for the hard working taxpayers.

Obama told his followers that a crappy economy was the norm and apparently they aren’t happy with anything more.

[Hidden Content] I posted this earlier thinking we are officially in a place where the Dems don’t even want to deal with facts to make policy. Hard to compromise with that level of ignorance or denial...have to try to simply defeat them. Problem is, there are lots of ignorant deniers voting for these folks.

I don’t consider education wasteful spending, but the fed gov manages to do it in the Dept. of Education. The fed gov is too large to effectively manage most programs, especially when it’s full of corrupt folks running them.

Nothing like that...simply the fed gov creating a dept to staff for more control, nothing else. Folks gotta stop making excuses for our bloated wasteful fed gov.

He’s an engineer and there are departments on the state levels that do the same thing he does. So many of the federal departments should be abolished because it is already being handled at the state level. The fed gov is ridiculously bloated and should be cut back to only the responsibilities laid out in the Constitution. Won’t ever happen, but it should.
