Mod powers

[RolloTheGreat]

That's tough, dude.  To subsidize all of the factory workers (actually doubling their wages if they earn minimum wage) would put an enormous burden on the treasury finances in the short term.  Right now, the short term budget is the bottom line - never more than a year out.  Lose $2+ trillion in the first year just because of this (despite the long term overall upliftment of the economy) - nobody wants to be in the spotlight taking flak for this at the end of the year.  

I think it's a great idea, Rollo, though!!  Like Ocre sang, I'll also sing my lala praise in your name, haha!  Sickbeast thinks that Apoppin is nicer than you...   Well, so far, you've been ALWAYS been nice to me, while Apoppin seriously gnashed his teeth at me many and a many times.  

Trump screwed it up with his anti-Muslim sentiment...   he gotta fix this real quick, ASAP, or else, he's doomed and Hillary Clinton is gonna win!  I thought Trump was going to be more serious running for president (he was serious about Miss America losing her crown due to drug use, which was his own decision made, and having to deal with bankruptcies by 4 of his own companies - teaching him a lesson of humility but yet he had so many other businesses, and getting older, but since he was born in a crazy stupid rich family, he never really learns.  He's definitely not a "self-made" American.  His Dad did it all, and he's just the spoiled brat who takes his own wealth despite his own personal lack of integrity (loose tongue) for granted.  

I'd just keep it to the fact that it's tough as hell for hopeful would-be immigrants from any other country to earn a green card here in America (like from Russia or from Honduras).  Syrian refugees shouldn't have it any easier, period.  No debate needed about this.  Just make the immigration laws a bit tougher, not just because of the Syrian emigrants, but because of the Mexican emigrants flooding so many parts of America and bringing undesirable traits like drug smuggling, crime, lack of educated skill, etc..  Trump never really did grow up, it seems (although he got a real good perspective of many of the problems plaguing America).

I wasn't thinking the government do that for all factory jobs, there are still a lot of factory jobs here where people already make $30K and up. I was thinking the welfare programs be shifted to corps- what money is given out free now they shift to companies and people have to work for it.

A lot of things (clothing comes to mind) were outsourced due to cost of wages + benefits. I think companies would gladly bring them back if the govt picked up most of the tab. Not looking for a change in the entire economic system, just a shift in how assistance is distributed that I think would benefit everyone.

I laughed pretty hard when I read Ocre's chant. Sick Beast's theories I hold some sort of sway here are more a "reverse psychology" attempt to get his way (me banned) than reality.

"If you guys weren't in Rollo's power, you would ban him!"

Sick Beast, Apoppin, and GStan need to learn to get along with people and understand that not everyone has the same viewpoints or preferences. The "answer" to this isn't "ban those who disagree".
