    The logistics of building and maintaining, manning and refurbishing 12 Nimitz class carriers, and dozens of nuke subs, and all the rest of it is a fairly easy task, I agree. It beats health care, and education.

    As far as Canadian school children going hungry, I just want you to take a good look at the ton of desperate people in your country right now who have given up on hope because no matter how many meal tickets they use, their meager circumstances drive them to drug addiction and utter dereliction. If you nix the possibility of raising yourself or your kids out of misery, you begin to make self destructive choices. I think Canada has a lot less misery and violence because my peers have chosen a stronger system of care for the entire nation to profit by.

    Canadian parents are superlatively apt at feeding their children because there is less of a strain on their finances from across the board social netting. The higher studies schools are cheap relative to the US, and with a flick of a card, you can access top notch care in some of the best hospitals in the world. None of this five thousand dollar catheter charge that the cynics have made you swally; hook line and sinker. Poor you.

    Of course, if you look at it macchiavelically, it would be better for the powers that be in Canada to rely on a lot of poorer folk to be used as cannon fodder in the armed forces.

    Look at Chump's boosting of the military budget as another little nudge to the swamp draining you seem to have forgotten about. Lol.

    Another reason for our imbalance could be the high tariffs CA imposes on US imports. Yes, our helicopters actually lift off the ground, which costs money. Don't worry though, if the shit hits the fan, we'll be there to cover your's, and true-d'ohs, butt. Nice to see Canadian children are finally getting good quality US milk and cheese.

    There's enough milk and cheese to go around already. Just tell California to keep on sending us oranges and walnuts, lettuce and wine.

    We could in the past have sent you from Florida, enough orange juice to take a bath in,but now you have to look to Brazil for that.

    Ross Perot passed,his words regarding NAFTA were,That giant sucking sound you hear is the American jobs leaving the country.

    We can feed the world but yet thousands of farms lay fallow.
    We have one of the best healthcare systems in the world but yet some who need it do not have access to it.

    We spend billions on illegal immigration while millions sleep in the streets.

    We beg for $15 per hour jobs because we decided to settle for less.

    We complain about the lack of good paying jobs while spending billions on cheap imported crap that could be produced in this country,providing jobs.

    I could go on but Trump is not the problem,WE are the problem,President Trump is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing,put this country first and foremost.

    People like to use Sweden and Denmark as examples of how a society should be but if they dig deeper they will find that tide is changing.

    People no longer have the attitude of the past and the free stuff has overpowered the will to produce.

    That is the political excuse,instead of facing the reality and dealing with what needs to be done thier only option and easiest option is to offer free stuff.

    Then comes the blame game,it’s everybody else’s fault,military spending is the easiest to attack because the adverage American has never lived in a country that got stormed over in a day and had to live under the threat of comply or die.

    They are not living in the Cameron of today and being slaughtered simply for the language that they speak.

    We are the people and those choices that we make are the ones we live with and can blame nobody but ourselves.

    Politicians are either really smart or we are really dumb to be begging for $15 per hour jobs,it shows how beaten down people are in order to except so little in life and view that as a win.

    They vote people in that convince you to settle for less so they can be the savior when they give you a little more.

    Untill the American people stop settling for less we are going to continue to be in a race to the bottom and blame everybody and everything else for our problems.

    Has the current president ever asked the people of this country to settle for less or has his mantra been to level the playing field so we do not have to settle for less out of desperation?

    The rest of the country needs to take a hard look at Detroit because that is the very definition of who we are as Americans and what can be accomplished when we choose to not settle for less.

    Sadly we have a history as a country of waiting until our back is up against the wall before we come out fighting but we also have a history that proves what we can accomplish when we do.

    How can some?

    Because the reasoning not to has been solely conflated to mean-siding-with DumpTrump and his pile [[so the thinking goes)!

    We should have priorities no matter who's president!

    We should have less special interest involvement when passing legislation.

    You say it is fake compassion? I call bullshit. Support that claim.

    I do not need to support it,open your eyes and look around,if politicians practiced what they preached there would be no inner cities or cities with 60,000 homeless while choosing to spend billions on illegals.

    What part of that confuses you?
