30 years of Hillary... Jobs Vanished, Taxes Increased, Terrorism thrived

So I'm going to break this down into parts.

[email protected]

Posted 4:42 am, 10/29/2016

lagrange,
let me argue in Trump's defense for a moment.
Keeping illegals out. What part of this idea is wrong? They broke the law and should be deported. That is what our laws say we should do. This isn't some new idea that just came up, these were laws that were created to protect the US citizen, and the country. He wants the the system to work as it was intended. For the Hillary camp that says they take jobs no one wants or that they pay taxes, what do we do with the 94 million without a job right now? Let some person who broke the law as soon as they stepped over the border take that opportunity from them?

"Keeping illegals out. What part of this idea is wrong?" In terms of the vague general idea nothing. But we don't have a vague general idea being presented here we have a proposed policy and that policy is wrong. First off a wall will not stop boarder crossings. As an example consider the great wall of China a massive structure that was also under heavy guard and yet the wall failed to keep people out. Walls are great at stopping massive armies hauling around lots of equipment but they are horrible at stopping people in general.
The wall being proposed would not cost 10 billion or 15 billion whatever Trump currently claims at a minimum it would cost 50 billion dollars but likely closer to 100 billion. And just building the wall is not the end of it within 10 years time you are looking at another 100 billion at least for maintenance on the wall. You are talking about spending hundreds of trillions of dollars over the lifetime of someone born on the day such a wall is built for no actual benefit and that is very wrong.
And yes people who came here illegally did break the law. But deportation is not as simple a solution as you seem to think it's a complex social and economic issue that can not be boiled down to a single talking point. For one thing our economy is built on demand. Demand drives economic growth demand is what causes employers to hire more workers etc. If you remove lets say 10 million people from the economy suddenly we are not going to have 10 million citizens just sliding into those positions we are going to loose more than 10 million jobs. The reason for this has to do with the various feedback's associated with demand and it gets a bit more complicated than can be easily covered in a short forum post.
"Hillary camp that says they take jobs no one wants or that they pay taxes" Well yes but that is also what economists and researchers on both sides of the issue say and they have differing opinions on how it would all wash out eventually but one thing they generally find agreement on.

"what do we do with the 94 million without a job right now?"

Is that even if we could effectively deport every single illegal immigrant in the country right this minute it would do nothing to help unemployment and would actually result in millions of citizens loosing the jobs they have now.

"Let some person who broke the law as soon as they stepped over the border take that opportunity from them?"

This is an appeal to emotion but the driving issue is that is not an opportunity for Americans. Say I was unemployed tomorrow and all the illegal immigrants where gone and for the sake of argument lets pretend that all those jobs are going to be quickly filled by citizens. I could not get a single one of them. I am grossly overqualified for that type of position no one would hire me due to turnover risk. It's easy to make an emotional appeal but it fails to pass the muster of rational analysis.

I will work on the other parts of the post later I'm still working on that list and doing 1000 other things today.

The job pool is pretty poor now, despite the reports. When the ACA went into effect anyone who worked under a part time status lost their ability to get more than 29.5 hours a week. So now those people are under-employed, that is why Trump says to repeal and replace Obamacare. It hurts the poor more than any news outlet will tell you. With 1/3 of the country unemployed in the job market, a business can be more picky with the choices it makes for who to hire. I hired 3 people this week, two will never see more than 15 hours this week. I can't reward great workers with more hours, because the law makes it exponentially more expensive than to just hire another person.

Trump presented a tax plan that cut wasteful government spending to make up for his tax cuts. laying out a detailed plan with point by point he showed where American citizens are being taxed to provide a wasteful government a way to burn a hole in the budget. HILLARY want to take more money from the people, in order to waste it. Things like free college will cost taxpayers, until the graduates get a job, then their payment option is pay the government for the remainder of your life. There is no fixed length loan, it will just be pay. some amount. Hillary said we will import more refugees, spend more than the average poor class makes a year to, bring in, house, and feed. How about we take care of our own diseased, homeless, and dying.

Just an update it's been a busy day and I am still working on this list I have currently rejected 9 of the items listed as calling them lies would be a lie for reasons I will cover when I finish. This may take awhile as its a long list and I want to make sure I include sources for every legitimate item.

Sept. 11, 2012: Two Responses

In her first public statement, the secretary of state referred to the video, but made no mention of terrorists or a terrorist attack. An hour later, she sent an email to her daughter, Chelsea, that made no reference to the video, and blamed "an al Qaeda-like group." (The State Department's Operations Center earlier that night sent an email to the White House, Pentagon, FBI and other government agencies that said Ansar al-Sharia has claimed credit for the attack on its Facebook and Twitter accounts � a fact that was not made public until Reuters reported it on Oct. 24, 2012.)

About 10:00 p.m.: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issues a statement confirming that one State official was killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Her statement, which MSNBC posted at 10:32 p.m., made reference to the anti-Muslim video.

Clinton: Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.

11:12 p.m.: Clinton sends an email to her daughter, Chelsea, that reads: "Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group: The Ambassador, whom I handpicked and a young communications officer on temporary duty w a wife and two young children. Very hard day and I fear more of the same tomorrow." (The email was discovered in 2015 by the House Select Committee on Benghazi. It is written to "Diane Reynolds," which was Chelsea Clinton's alias.)

Clarification, July 1: We updated this article to clarify Clinton's first public statement on the Benghazi attacks. We originally wrote, "In her first public statement, the secretary of state referred to the attack as being in "response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet." As the entry for that date makes clear, she said, "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet."

Sept. 12, 2012: �Nothing to Do with the Film'

Clinton issued a statement, which made no mention of the anti-Muslim video, and she delivered a speech, which did. Neither referred to a terrorist attack.

Privately, Clinton's deputy chief of staff wrote an email that said "we are not saying that the violence in Libya erupted �over inflammatory videos,'" and Clinton told the Egyptian prime minister that the video had nothing to do with the Benghazi attacks.

Sept. 12: Clinton issues a statement confirming that four U.S. officials, not one, had been killed. She calls the incident a "violent attack."

Clinton: All the Americans we lost in yesterday's attacks made the ultimate sacrifice. We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future.

Sept. 12: Clinton delivers a speech at the State Department to condemn the attack in Benghazi and to praise the victims as "heroes." She again makes reference to the anti-Muslim video in similar language.

Clinton: Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear � there is no justification for this, none.

Sept. 12: Jake Sullivan, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, sends an email prior to Obama's Rose Garden address to Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security advisor for strategic communications at the White House, and others that says, "There was not really much violence in Egypt. And we are not saying that the violence in Libya erupted �over inflammatory videos.'"

Sept. 12, 3:04 p.m.: Clinton calls then Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil and tells him, "We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack � not a protest." An account of that call was contained in an email written by State Department Public Affairs Officer Lawrence Randolph. The email was released by the House Benghazi committee.

OK we have no proof that he's telling the truth but what about all of the lies and cover ups hat Hillary has been involved with we know for a fact that shes a liar

We know for a fact Donald Trump is a liar make no mistake. As for all the lies of Hillary not as many as you might think. Sure there have been plenty of sensationalized headlines. Benghazi for example a lot of headlines made up of crap but the follow up's that would tell you the headline was wrong or misleading tends to get the back page.

If you have a specific lie or cover up you think was involved we can easily go over them one at a time and either verify it or debunk it. The problem is the general oh she has lied so much etc is that it's nebulous its vague and it fails to really relate any valid information.

to turn your statement against Clinton to support your thoughts about Trump makes no sense.....what you are saying is that if one is lying the other must be telling the truth ...

did you ever consider the fact that both might be lying????? there is far more proof to support that thought than what you are saying.

and to say you have no proof that Don the Con is lying puts you in total denial. you are refusing to look at both sides with equal criticism. if lying/truth is you total basis for voting ... give both sides the same scrutiny

he's not honest .. he just spews off the top of his head, loosely stringing disconnected thoughts that appeal to the most base emotions ... and he knows that no matter how much nonsense he spews, y'all are sure that he is telling the truth.


half the statements he makes are without proof or foundation ... but the accusations alone are enough to appeal to his base.

Yep she lied about her email. But to be fair we also have a classification system that is so **** up public statements can be filed as classified information. Without knowing what is in those emails we can't make a proper determination if she should have known or not.
Of course this is ultimately an issue of cyber security and thus we have Donald Trump a man who has had repeated data breaches to systems he is in charge of. And failed to meet even the lowest bar of his legal responsibility in those cases and failed to do anything in order to stop it going forward.

Enough is enough if you ignorant hicks can't be bothered to look beyond headlines or question the streams of garbage claims about someone just because you are predisposed to hate for one candidate.
