As most of you may have seen, the data from a Southeast Missourian business article showed how Trump’s plan to deport immigrants would cause a complete economic meltdown. It would cost a trillion dollars to deploy the National Guard to round up the people, which would send food prices and other basic supplies skyrocketing. It’s utterly stupid to do that and put tariffs on foreign imports too. Trump is not an economic genius, he’s a complete and utter failure!

Central response

What will we learn from graduation shooting? That trampling over each other will injure more people than the shooting.

Presidential candidates

The presidential candidates have a separate solution for every problem, which is why nothing gets solved.

Red lines

Nobody in the world takes threats of “severe consequences” seriously anymore. We told Iran not to attack Israel over and over — remember “Don’t”? They did so with zero consequences. We told Putin not to invade Ukraine — remember, “Don’t”? America is weak-kneed, and our adversaries know it.

Illegal policies

Kamala Harris pinned to the top of her social media feed, “Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better.” She goes on to list a number of policy proposals, including a million forgivable $20,000 loans to Black entrepreneurs. One of her policies promises loan forgiveness based on race. Isn’t that illegal? Who gets to decide who is Black enough for loan forgiveness?

National debt

Whichever presidential candidate offers the largest increase in the national debt will win the election.

A vote for sports gambling

I’m voting yes for sports gambling, because it can’t hurt. People are already gambling. They’re just doing it in the shadows. This way, the state and our teachers will get a benefit. It also means that Missouri will likely be able to keep the Chiefs in state. That would be a big blow to Missouri’s image if the team moved across the state line.

Pro-growth?

As far as pro-growth economic policy it is the blind leading the blind.
