0.7 percent
But based on the amount of MSM news on them, you'd think it was more like 70 percent.....
“...and pay for the expanding plethora of “essential” government programs...”
One way is that if Trump is elected, these “essential” programs will become non-essential and disappear...
I believe a lot of the wasteful government programs will be dissolved by a Trump administration and the government will become leaner...
THAT is the business way...Opposite the political way...
You got that right.
And here in Oregon our brilliant legislators just passed a bill require each electric company providing electricity to retail electricity consumers to eliminate coal-fired resources within the next 15 years.
I can’t wait for all the greenies to be left shivering through the winter waiting for solar & wind power to work. Me? I’m moving!
Another lie by the left. “We need to make America energy independant.” We done that, asshat. You just won’t accept it.
I hear you. I support Trump. Yet I fear the Donald is in for a rude awakening when he learns he cannot fire the 535 members of Congress.
This is the political way....as are the Ethanol subsidies, (Iberdrola). (Top state/local subsidy recipients) "Of all the state and local subsidy dollars tracked, half went to the top 30 companies, led by Boeing. The aerospace giant alone has received $13 billion in subsidies. Chip-maker Intel and metal giant Alcoa each received nearly $6 billion. General Motors scored $3.7 billion and Ford secured $2.5 billion. All told, 19 large corporations have received at least $1 billion." Obama doesn't mention these icons of industry having to be subsidized....and the left wants to put a ban on energy?
That is a great article and I hope it reminds everyone as to why we are hurting in manufacturing jobs.
But everyone knows that China is what’s crushing our manufacturing...right? If we could just get all those trade manipulators to play by our rules and our laws why they could be just as crippled, taxed, and regulated as us and then we could all compete on a level playing field.
I know what you’re saying, but think of this...
have we ever had a president who would do this:
trump tries to do something that will really help America and us, the people...
Congress, because they don’t like him, fights his plan...
Trump goes on national TV and expalins to the people what he wants to do and then says Rep. Joe Smith, Rep. Carl Jones, Sen. Dave Watson, Sen. Joe Shmoe...etc, etc are all fighting AGAINST my proposal...A proposal that would lift America and you fellow Americans...
I need your help with these people...
Does she have any idea of the revenue stream the US would lose from royalties on that production?
Or how many pissed off oil workers would have nothing to do but assemble in places she might show up?
I have repeatedly said on this forum that America will not be 'made great again' in terms of manufacturing or otherwise as long as the EPA continues on it's hell-bent crusade to sink our economy and industry.
One candidate swore in Iowa to use the EPA (which means its continued existence) to uphold the Renewable Fuels (ethanol) Mandate to the fullest extent of the law.
That means, under that candidate, the EPA will continue in its mission to destroy America, if that candidate is elected.
Send China the EPA. It is our own regulatory agencies, especially the EPA which are responsible for our industrial decline. It's overly difficult and expensive to mine, refine, and even recycle our own materials, much less manufacture anything from them with the constant moving target regulations of an agency whose motto ought to be "never enough".
That is the biggest reason China can get the job done and ship it here more cheaply than we can make it at home. Note that doesn't mean the product will be as good, it just means it will be cheaper and high quality will just cost that much more if it is made here.
If elected, Trump will have the same fight, only from a different government building, and with the ability to say "no".
In other words, ethanol is a carbon based fuel.
Why would oil workers, especially unionized ones, react any different than coal workers, auto workers, construction workers, or steel workers? In deference to their Democrat overlords the blue collar manufacturing and industrial workers sold out. They have chosen the tender mercies of government provided welfare over work and freedom.
I personally know many of them. They continue to vote for the same people who promise to destroy their way of life.
You must be thinking about the refineries.
