Whenever the government gets involved in supporting the economic welfare of the country, it turns into a shitshow of excess.
guaranteed student loans have helped push the price of a college education out of reach for most Americans, fannie mae and freddie mac resulted in backed housing loans that created a housing bubble so large that it collapsed our economy, and medicare/medicaid with no big pharma negotiation and patient "rights" has contributed in large part to the medical industry what guaranteed student loans did to the education sector.
The paradox is obvious, people want the government to intervene but at the same time wouldn't trust someone like Trump to manage it, and they hold on to the short sighted belief that their guy is the answer - and in the unlikely event that their guy isn't a complete grifter, his job is temporary and he'll be replaced by more people who will use the bloated program to enrich themselves and their handlers.
At the end of the day the republicans talk a big game but don't deliver, however their promise is sound.
America thrives in a smaller, less intrusive government. However there is a cost that many people can't seem to grasp. Capitalism has winners and losers. The have nots have decided there should be no Jeff Bezos , Zuckerburg or Gates without understanding they limit themselves along the way.
They'll realize this in some small way when they get hit with a wealth tax on the value of their home and 401K, even though they don't have access to that money.

At the moment tree, our government is PURELY political. And what I mean by that is, our government simply REFUSES to enforce its own immigration laws because the people in charge of enforcement, they just don't like those laws because of their politics. But the people in charge can't make the laws go away because the PEOPLE of the country demand that the laws stay on the books. So the executives in government who were elected to enforce laws they don't like, they just fucking ignore them (both the laws AND the US citizens that want them enforced.) And they appoint people into those enforcement roles and specifically command them to NOT do their jobs.
I don't see anything "libertarian" here tree. All I see, is politics.
If you are angry about crippling wealth disparities, it doesn't help that Jose, Manuel, and Enrique, cannibalize Jamal's and Tyrone's earning power by competing with them for entry level work requiring well formed labor.

Some repub representative in the Oklahoma state legislature is calling for an audit of the 2020 presidential election. Here's the county map of how the election went in Oklahoma:

I guess he wants to route out that one fraudulent vote for Biden among the hundred or so that were actually cast for him in Oklahoma...

I’m ok with that. Just apply that o every illegal immigrant.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Our cold war with communism ended in 1991. That includes Cuba. We've been in the information age since the Soviet Union declared bankruptcy.
As far as I'm concerned, the only "refugees" from South of our border that should qualify for refugee status, would be anyone from Venezuela. The rest? Meh. Go home. Overthrow your shitball government, install a good one, or beg the United States to "annex you" because you are too incompetent for self-rule.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
how it works now is the xenophobes all wear red hats that say "Make America Great Again." Their skin color is of minor importance if they are wearing the red hat.
