LOL Man that's an understatement. This is the same idiot who just imported a bunch of California prison inmates with no real firm answers on how California will pay us for them.

Government does not “create Jobs” they can only stifle job Growth and production. Government is a Parasite not a Host.

And besides, she’s canadian, a good example of the old joke: We’re watching the wrong border!
