I thought the republican party was the party of sound fiscal planning?  What happened?

Most people that like Trump also dislike the Republican Party. Trumps ideas are not mainstream republican shit.

I personally don't like the Republican Party. I don't like the Democratic Party either though. Both of them have puppet strings on them.

Do you also like disastrous trade policies, or are you banking on the fact that Trump is full of shit?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If they are underpaying (or not paying) taxes, then they are only existing here because those of us who actually do pay taxes are subsidizing them.

Quote:Which is Exactly what trump says he will do.. "Make it too expensive to do business over seas, and yet make it more affordable to do business here."

Trump wants to make doing business 'affordable' via tax breaks and depleting wages. In other words, his solution is "let's make the problem worse".

Yet another reason why, on the computing front, anyway, supporting open source is the best solution long term.  No corporate giants hording your info or browsing data, and a more secure system out of the box besides.  Moreover, there are many linux environments that emulate Windows 7 and OSX.  I could put linux on my other family members' computers and for 90%-95% of what they do daily, they wouldn't miss a beat.  The biggest gap for general use is in gaming, and Valve/Steam is working to bridge it.

I know people in the trades who are doing better than that.
I never said it was impossible. But even the skilled trades here at the General Motors plant require at least an associates degree for new hires.

The marketplace is changing. Telling me that 20 years ago you didn't need a degree to make decent money doesn't change the job market that exists today.

When I got out of the Navy with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and having passed the FE exam and couldn't get a job in the field because I was in the Navy and not in the field, I was told that a Master's would make sense. Now I'm back in school and have my foot in the job market at all times.

There are certainly great jobs out there that do not require a degree. The vast majority of the career fields, however, require a degree of some sort.
