Here's some of the inherent evilness for you. Let's take it one by one.
* Strengthening Competitiveness
Competitiveness - against whom ? Why should we have governments prop up businesses in 3 countries to compete against only other blocs' businesses ? Why shouldn't Mexican, Canadian and American firms stand on their own merits ? Do you know this is called corporatism, or to use an older word, facism ? All the propping, I mean subsidies, tax breaks, etc paid for by taxpayers, of course. Not to mention the hoardes of visas and illegals given to people to come to America to undercut Americans' wages.
* Avian and Pandemic Influenza
Like the government has done so well with tainted food imports, disaster responses, and the TB scare recently. We'd be much better off relying on private charities and organizations. All the government is planning for is how to deploy the National Guard to control the sheeple, and how to keep power if the fit hits the shan.
* Emergency Management
Again, they did so well with Katrina. These things are best left to local governments.
* Energy Security
The same government that won't let us drill for oil in our own country yet wants taxpayers to subsidize the ethanol boondoggle is good for this ? Don't think so.
* Secure Borders
Make me laugh. Do you recall the latest amnesty fiasco ? Give citizenship to gang members and anyone who sets one foot in this country ? Ably assisted by the corrupt regime in Mexico, wwho wants US taxpayers to pick up the bill for Mexico's poor and dispossessed ?
Now do you have a clue ?
I think the Logan Act should be vigorously applied to all these people. That means prison, and substantial fines.
If there is an outbreak of avian flu in your area, can we depend on you to choke your chicken?
