and I agree with everything you just posted which is why fixing global warming gets a big yawn from me


until we get a majority global participation we need to concentrate on what benefits America

Strong military

strong labor market

stop the huge migration currently being allowed of illegal migrants

infrastructure investments

energy independence 

Have you traversed the Bermuda triangle yet? 

Elsa was not too bad for us. Didn't lose power (yet??), which is good because our Generac won't be here for another 6 weeks.

About 8" of rain so far. Jeez. The pool is full, and overflowing.

Fortunately we have 1, 2, and 5 accomplished.  As for 3, it is a matter of opinion. In Iowa we need farm workers to work livestock farms. Iowans who do not own farms generally do not want to work on farms for $14 per hour. So, we don't have the workers, and farm owners will occasionally get charged with crimes for hiring migrants. We can get workers through legal or illegal means. If we want to do it legally we need to expand legal immigration. But, there is too little support for legal immigration in Congress.

There is a lot of support for allowing migrants to cross the border so some politicians and media opinion shows benefit from making border protection an issue.

We are sorely lacking in infrastructure investments. As an Iowan that grew up on the Mississippi River, I know we need to expand the locks, and improve or replace the dams. They were built in the 1930s with a 50-year projected life. They are about 35-years past their projected lifespan. Modern tows take about 2.5 hours to go through locks on the northern 29 locks of the Mississippi. (There are no locks south of St. Louis). Our locks are 600 feet length and in modern terms should be 1,200 feet. Congress won't allocate the funds to improve our Midwestern efficiency in shipping commodities worldwide. 

We are not the dumbest country in the world, obviously, but in some respects we are approaching such astounding inefficiency as to be stupid. Consider the potential for safety problems on our river systems from not modernizing 90-year old infrastructure.

Let's not tax billionaires to pay for what they need from infrastructure to maintain their class status - it is wrong. Tax the middle class, or future generations. It is economically inefficient to tax those who benefit the most from infrastructure.

The key word you left out is "illegal" never said we should stop immigration
