Obrador:

- opposes tax hikes to balance the budget, proposed austerity measures on politician and bureaucrat salaries and privileges instead, including capping the president’s salary and post-presidential pension.

- reduced the presidential salary by 40%, and has sold off a number of government assets, including vehicles and real estate. He sold off the presidential aircraft to save money, and now flies commercial instead

- an austerity law passed in October 2019 restricts remodeling of government offices, and bans government employees for a period of ten years from being hired to work in the companies they regulated while in office.

- incorporated the federal police into the new National Guard, using them to stop Central American immigrants at the southern border, which “delighted U.S. President Donald Trump”

- vocal critic of NAFTA, supported Trump’s effort to end it

- argued that “the best foreign policy is domestic policy,” in that if the country has no corruption and crime, it will help develop trust for investment

- demanded U.S. investigation into and apology for Obama’s Fast & Furious’ Gun-Running Sting

If that’s Bernie Sanders style socialism, sign me up!

We surely need this in the USA. Same restriction needed for family members.
