It will probably be re-written as a 5% tax break for companies who sell American-made products.
I think it highly unlikely too but if I were Dem leadership I would be trying to offer something up to Trump for it.
Yeah the guy is real hero for buying an under performing company and making it, and all the jobs it supports, disappear. Of course there's an enormous ripple effect because of that too.
Yeah that's very troubling.
It's fairly simple- the president can issue an executive order on anything- he can issue one declaring that the FFA should be nicer to Timschochet if he wants. But it will only have the force of law if it is within his powers as assigned by the constitution or federal legislation.
There are a few problems here:
Executive Orders are how Senator Palpatine became the Emperor in Star Wars, wasn't it? Scary stuff.
Which is a wonderful trait to have if you're the most powerful public servant in America.
So if I were President and proposed single-payer healthcare you would not criticize it and would just say "eh, let's try this out and see how it actually works." Yea, that's not how things work.
We must continue to ramp up our nuclear weapons program until the world realizes we should do away with nuclear weapons. Sounds legit.
The U.S. must strengthen and expand our nuclear capabilities, until we demonstrate to the world how bad having nuclear capability is?
This should be Henry and RHE, but I did pass the bar, unbelievably (please, no comment from either of them). I did know that tariffs are an explicit grant in the Const.
I'm inclined to agree with that and that's my personal preference but every president is told that their EOs are potentially illegal and they proceed anyway. Honestly IMO a constitutional amendment and bipartisan opposition to substantive EOs is needed.
Yes driving the world into a nuclear arms race is the same as 'giving' iran 400 million $$$$s
I don't know why you'd say that, he made it clear that he's a big fan of Article XII.
Remember when the Tea Party had Constitutions in their pockets on the way to rallies? It didn't mean much, but when they would actually read it, they would learn something.
I know there's a lot of mindboggling stuff about a Trump presidency, but to me the fact that he doesn't understand the basics of the Constitution is right up there. It's hard to come up with an exact parallel, but it's kind of like we hired a CEO who doesn't understand the basics of corporate governance (shareholders, board of directors, etc) or a coach who doesn't understand the basic rules of the game.
Every time I hear Article XII, for some poetic reason I think of this, which makes no sense probably to anybody but me.
Well like he said, why doesn't everyone have nuclear weapons. More, more, more...it's a solid idea
