Hopefully he can do something about the length of time too. California took at least two seats extra in the House by simply calling folks that hadn't voted yet and sending them to vote Democrat for several weeks until they got the folks in that they wanted. At the end of the first week, these House seats were Red.KaiBear said:The only individuals against the use of voter ID and paper ballots are those who favor election fraud.Jacques Strap said:BIG: Trump calls for national paper ballot elections - cost just 8% of the cost of electronic systems, can produce accurate auditable results on election night, and have invisible security features that prevent counterfeiting.

And there's the difference. Mr. Obama's objective was to leave the compliant and fearful. Mr. Trump's is to leave the bare-knuckled warfighters. Your Grant, Sherman, Eisenhower, Halsey and Patton types.Jacques Strap said:

This won't help US autoworkers, but it will continue to spike US auto costs impacting everything from direct consumers to fleets.KaiBear said:

Fascinated at this fixation on auto manufacturing. Less than a million people work in car and parts manufacturing. Meanwhile, the defense industry employs more, is primarily manufactured in the U.S., is one of our few net exporter industries, and he wants to cut the defense budget significantly. If there's a larger plan here, it's hard to see.

Living in a state where many are employed in the Auto industry (My business is like 6 miles from what used to be GM Lordstown, I drive by it basically every day) it would be nice to feel like there is some plan. Right now I'm sure not convinced.

The only reason anyone would oppose measures to make sure our votes & elections are secure are people who plan to steal elections. Considering the fascist record on that score going back 100 years, naturally they will oppose what the American people want.

That's how protectionist tariffs usually work. They often don't work out so well in the long run.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail
Quote:
California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) is a publicly funded high-speed rail system being developed in California by the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Phase 1, about 494 miles (795 km) long, is planned to run from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim via the Central Valley, and is partially funded and under construction. A proposed Phase 2 would extend the system north to Sacramento and south to San Diego, for a total of 776 miles (1,249 km). The project was authorized by a 2008 statewide ballot to connect the state's major urban areas and reduce intercity travel times. Phase 1 targets a nonstop travel time of 2 hours and 40 minutes from San Francisco to Los Angeles, compared to about nine hours[6] on the existing Amtrak San Joaquins. California legislative overseers do not expect the 2 hr 40 min target will be achieved.

Or…people don't buy either car, so those domestics are forced to scale back (did you not see the part where I'm right around the corner from Lordstown? I'm also awfully close to Ford's Cleveland facility and Walton Hills stamping plant…all 3 of which are closed).
This utopia where people buy a small Ford instead of a KIA is myth, for one Ford doesn't even make a small sedan any longer and if they did it wouldn't be made here but in Mexico.
Look the best possible thing for me a massive tariff on Chinese tools. It would be HUGE for my business.
But this concept that people will just buy A instead of B doesn't much work with cars that are sourced and produced globally, even the domestics.
So, again, define Domestic manufacturing for an automobile for me? I've already told you Ford doesn't work because a good chunk of their production is in Mexico. Are we adding a tariff to Mexican Ford production but not US Ford Production?

Yeah and the balloning defense industry is totally unnatural... it isn't the result of true capitalism... it is the result of crony capitalism... MIC lobbyists working with politicians to spend money we don't have to grow our national debt so they can receive more politically motivated defense contracts.
When big government and private business merge into this abomination of crony capitalism... the tax payer always ends up suffering.
I work in healthcare and you say the same thing about Medicare and the PBMs... but those contracts are a fraction of what the pentagon spends.

Only in Trump world do we scream hiring and firing should only be based on merit.
And we have a job that requires a 4 star general. So, we have an unqualified defense secretary fire the 4 star and replace him with a 3 star (retired).
