Glad someone is pointing this out. And someone who isn’t likely to use it as an excuse to fund a lot of graft like Obama was when he spoke of infrastructure.
Walking through an airport in NYC is an embarrassment if you travel anywhere else in the world. LAX is dirty.
And the damned neocon nonstop nationbuilding wars of convenience make it hard to spend money for cool things here.

Go Trump.

No more life time appointments to the supreme court. They’re just political appointees, anymore. Shouldn’t spend decades on the court.

I would hope he would accomplish this by getting government out of business. The way I’m reading this he would be using more government, not less.

2 Chronicles 7:14

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

[Slyfox]

I am thinking of that quote every day.

And a good start would be to get rid of the career politicians. It has become a lifetime job for them, they aren’t helded accountable, once elected they get reelected with no skin in the process. America has slowly gone down the tube with career policticians, imo.

Amen!

Join my Two Term Limit Party.

The liberal wing of the party say this means two terms in office. The hard-core wing insists the second term should by default be a prison term.

Of Obama,who was it that said:

"We're flat broke and he thinks these solar shingles and really fast trains will magically save us," she said. "So now he's yelling 'all aboard' his bullet train to bankruptcy."

A). Thomas Friedman B). George Will C). Sarah Palin

That's right, C). Sarah Palin

But Thomas Friedman really likes them ,too. And George Will looks really good in a beanie with a propeller.

Well, they have been working on I65 since the 1960’s and they are still at it. The roads here were not built to handle today's traffic. I use to stay away from certain areas during rush hours but that is an all day thing, now. Even roads which did not have much traffic a few years ago are now bumper to bumper. They did a good job on 565 but that is now a raceway. People do not care what the speed is. A new north-south road needs to be built but I do not know where it would be. It is just a mess.

We're sitting on a bubble, very dangerous bubble. We are sitting on a big fat ugly bubble. At some point unless we act quickly and smartly, it is going to explode.

On this point, he is spot on.

He is talking about the Stock Market bubble, and the debt bubble. He has referred to both of them in interviews.

Despite the recent Dow "rally", the economic fundamentals point to a horrible economic meltdown and crisis looming.

We kill off 3,000 [give or take] young patriots every day in America, and Donald Trump talks about bullet trains.

I wish there was a man, somewhere, courageous enough to speak of the ills of abortion these past 43 years..... oh wait, there is......

“As president I will do everything possible to end abortion.” -Ted Cruz

We are a third world Country now. The middle class workers have been reduced to living on credit cards while the cost of living keeps going up. The poor are living on welfare and we are talking about damn near have the population. How hard is it to realize that millions are using their savings and retirement funds to support living cost. Where in the hell are our brains to not understand that the come back, if ever, will take years and we will suffer like hell. Wake up America.

Trump for President. And that will be a start but the climb back will take years because the destruction is so great.

There are shopping areas around Las Vegas that I used to frequent and now will not got to anymore as they look like you are in a 3rd world country. Nobody speaks English and it isn’t just Spanish, who knows what the hell they are speaking.
Took a trip across country last fall and in Des Moine, Iowa they whole Walmart was like a 3rd world country, Muslim greeters and Muslims all through the place along with Hispanics.
Our country is changing right before our eyes.
CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER, BUILD THE DAMN WALL,
I WA NT TRUMP.

Come on, Trump, not choo-choo trains. And here I was liking you these days. Statists love trains and other mass transit— that way they can herd the proletariat into railcars and ship them where the elites want them to go, and force them to live in hive cities like the elites want.

No one can turn it around unless that person can engage and inspire Americans, particularly young Americans, to greatness. JFK did it for technology and education. Reagan did it for western ideology and military strength. Maybe Trump can do it for economics and infrastructure.

Des Moines? I lived in Des Moines until 2002 and was the head of the veterans unit at the unemployment office...
