My dream...
Republicans: “President Obama could easily ensure all benefits will be paid during this supposed ‘crisis’ by eliminating Foreign Aide. If Obama would rather give these benefits to other countries rather than the American people whose taxes earned them, remember that it was not the Republican Party that stopped your grandmother’s social Security check from coming.”
Simple and instant 100% support for the Repubs.
I’m not against foreign aide, but it needs to benefit the United States. It’s a tool that often times is used against ourselves. The worst examples are the those that denounce us after we fund them (United Nations and the Palestinians)
The same can be said for foreign trade. Remember when Congress had to vote annually for MFN status on China? Communist countries should have very limited access to our financial system and definately should not have more favorable trade rules than free countries. It’s not just a trade issue, it’s a foreign policy issue.
The same is true for immigration and defense.
