@lov2smile:
You can't be that blind....Are YOU?
Nearly every single post you've done, is either a fabrication, or is taken out of context. Examples, include your exploitative Benghazi post, where you showed a made up image of Ambassador Stevens, and claimed that he was raped and tortured for multiple hours, before being killed.
Then there's the fabrication that she killed Vince Foster. And that she attacked a rape victim. Or she chose to defend a rapist, and the list goes on.
I am not blind to the fact that she's a politician, and as such, she has skeletons in her closet. However, the email thing, is something that's been investigated by the FBI, and the Director made his findings clear. There was intentional wrongdoing on her part. It was a mistake, and she's not denying it.
Her agenda includes:
1. Staying the course in the Middle East. This means, creating alliances with local players, arming and supporting secular groups, not allowing arms or logistics to reach religious, as moderate as they may be, groups, and assist, using as few special ops soldiers as possible, the local players as they advance against ISIS. Other than that, let the chips fall where they may. It's crazy to get involved in Syrian politics. If the Russians want to do that, by all means. It will be a quagmire, worse than our Iraq's Quagmire.
2. Jobs: focus on where the world is going to be 10-30 years from now, spend money to train those with obsolete jobs, for the jobs of the future. This will take us from a space, where we're responding to what China throws our way, to a position of leadership. We now have the technology leadership, what we need to do, is translate this into downstream jobs.
3. Energy: Keep investing in renewable energy technologies, reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This is both a way to generate jobs, and preserve the planet for the next generations.
4. Education: make education free for all, in public universities. This is an investment in our future, and reduces our reliance on foreign skilled labor.
5. Healthcare: Evolve Obamacare into a single payer system, with checks and balances to guarantee that the free for all, medical costs system, is brought back under control. If Physicians don't like it, they can go to Canada and Europe. Wait, they can't really do that, as they have the same system over there as well.
6. Taxes: Increase the tax rate on the top 1%. When America had a surplus, and public education was well funded, the top tax rate was in the 90%+. Trickle down economics, produced a deficit, and started the trend that led to the huge gap, between those who have it and those who do not. California is a simple example, showing that if you raise corporate taxes, companies are NOT going to go anywhere. Where will they go? China? Europe? South America?
7. Immigration: Build bridges, not walls.
What's Trump offering:
1. In the Middle East: join the Russian/Syrian/Iranian quagmire. Not a great idea. The situation is very complex, and Trump has no clue. He says he's got a secret plan. Well, if he really does have a plan that works, why hasn't he shared it with the top brass? As it stands, our troops are in danger's way, and his "secret" plan could save lives. Why isn't he sharing it? the simple answer is: he's got nothing. His "pay us and we'll support you" plan, is not realistic, and turns us into a mercenary nation.
2. Jobs: He says he's got a plan. No one knows what the plan is. Shutting down our borders, will hit the agriculture and services industries. US workers, who lost their jobs during the Bush economic collapse, do not want these jobs. Manufacturing jobs, are not coming back. NAFTA or not. Tariffs will not improve the situation. They will only significantly increase the price we pay for appliances (as an example). Solving the problem, involves advancing the state of the art, and reducing labor costs, as in automation and retraining of workers.
3. Energy: Drill, drill, drill, kill workers in the industry and further pollute the air the next generations will breathe. This is the only thing his supporters know.
4. Education: he has no plan.
5. Healthcare: kill Obamacare. Vague, esoteric plans on what will replace it. What's clear, is that he's got no clue, as evidenced by the statement he made, about 90% of his workers complaining about Obamacare. Hint: if he's providing insurance, like most employers do, his employers should not be using Obamacare. Is it "hyperbole", or ignorance? you decide.
6. Taxes: his plan will put the burden on lower income Americans. Eliminating the estate tax, will help people in his income range, not the middle class to low income taxpayer. I am hoping the people voting for him understand what it means. OK, I will understand what it means: starting in 2012, with $5M, adjusted for inflation, this is your estate tax exemption. This means that if you have a NET estate of $5M or less, you're already not paying taxes on it. How many in the low to middle class, have this kind of net estate? The way Trump puts it, you'd think that everyone, today, is paying estate taxes.
7. Immigration: Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it. The first problem with this plan, is that he would need to import workers from Mexico to build the wall. The second is that Mexico is NOT going to pay for it. The third, is that it's not going to solve any problems, as those crossing illegally, are NOT taking American jobs. This is also not going to be a deterrent for those intending on harming us. Also, prevent Muslims from coming in, and "registers" American Muslims. He should read the Constitution.
