4. To put any more people to work, we'll neet to beg Mexico

to send some more people across the border.

Then we'll need to put up a fence to keep them from returning to Mexico.

But seriously, there are millions of marginally employed or unemployed here in the US. And what we can say now is that it is not because no jobs are available. It is other reasons, such as :

- Lack of education
- Lack of training
- Lack of living wage
- Lack of initiative
- Drug addictions
- Mental illness
- Other illness

Lots of reasons, but none have anything to do with the "economy" per se. So where is Trump's plan to deal with THOSE issues.

7. you should have seen the absolutely pathetic job cnn did in its casual 'analysis'

of the speech/program

bill press wimpily said he AGREED with trump's trade policy, and child care credit, only disagreeing on the impact of trickle down, and the inability of said program to pay for his ludicrous spending, while urging the tax cuts go to the middle class

nothing else, and the other two geebs were rabid trump bootlicks, raving about the wonders of the laffer curve (my inference....they didn't talk about it, but just loved the piddle down program)

I put it up last week, it's gotten MUCH worse....they're obsessed with it.

be interesting to see if Dumbo's speech, and Hillary's rebuttal Thursday will let the air out of that tired tire.
