You’re entitled to your opinion, friend.
I will admit the healthcare policy stuff from Trump is his biggest weakness. But he’s supposedly got a new healthcare paper in the works so I reserve judgment on that aspect of things.
I just don’t see anyone else as having the chance to fight Shrillary the way she deserves to be. Everyone else can’t see the forest for the trees on how to take her down. Trump has crossover appeal that no one else does imo.
Cruz, to my mind, talks like he’s before a judge all the time and he doesn’t realize that regular people don’t think like judges do. They want humor and sarcasm and self-deprecation. Trump knows all this and he’s a natural. Cruz is very forced and more arrogant.
But hey, you don’t have to believe my viewpoint. I think there are plenty of people on FR who support candidates in good faith. Just be aware. Cruz says he wants 500% increase in H1B. That’s scary to me as someone who used to work in a tech job. Google Disney H1b and see what the point of H1B visas is.
Worrying about Shrillary or whatever nightmare the Democrats toss into the ring is playing defense. Hillary was dangled in front of us to terrorize us for two long years, into 2008, when the rallying cry was "Anybody but Hillary!" We got our wish. We got Obama. That's what conservatives get when they play defense. To boot, just because the MSM likes Hillary, real people loathe her. She is probably the most hated woman in America, everyone's nightmare ex-wife.
According to this, the US H1B visa covers "specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as in architecture, engineering, mathematics, science, and medicine."
I know Disney has architects and engineers. I also know that any company that goes to the trouble of firing their American workers but first making them train their H1B replacements do it because they must to remain competitive.
I kind of have a hard time imagining doctors training their replacements, or mathematicians and scientists training their foreign replacements as a condition of end of employment compensation. Sounds to me like the definition of H1B visa has been stretched. Regardless, the bottom line is that it must be financially advantageous for companies to take this route than to keep their American workers. Why? Ten to one, because the sum total of government requirements involved make it a losing proposition.
When H1B visas are actually limited to "specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields such as in architecture, engineering, mathematics, science, and medicine," it brings the best minds in the world to work for US companies, and deprives foreign competitors of that resource. That makes sense to me. It gives America the advantage in every way.
The villain here is a government that makes it too expensive for American companies to employ American workers, and/or universities that put out too inferior or not enough of qualified workers in these fields.
Reserve judgment on Trump's plan at your own risk -- his own words reveal that he is much more a Democrat on this issue, that he seeks to "take care of everybody." Cruz calls Obamacare and the concept it represents exactly what it is: against the Constitution, unconstitutional. The Federal government has zero business meddling in your or my health care; once it presumes control, you will be enslaved in a way that is very dangerous.
Voting for that or the promise of that, is a very bad choice no matter how intriguing the "healthcare paper."
