The link provided identifies who in the US House of Representatives voted for and who voted against the bill that President Trump recently signed into law. A close examination of Georgia Representatives ballots indicates Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene voted for the bill.
Middle class families (especially those with children), senior citizens over the age of 65, persons who work for tips (waitresses, bartenders, Uber drivers, etc), employees who work overtime, to identify just a few will benefit from the bill President Trump signed into law. Over the long term, the bill provides funding for more border security, strengthens Homeland security, and the US military. All of which the majority of Amercians voted for when they elected Trump.
As for the US stock market, millions of individual US citizens retirement accounts, state government employee pension funds, local municipality employee pension funds, local school teacher pension funds and retirement accounts, police and fireman pension funds and retirement accounts, Teamster union pension funds, United Auto Workers union pension funds, and many, many others are invested in the US stock market. Which, over the long term has provided large returns to investors.
Many in the world community consider the Islamic regime in control of Iran to be the number one sponsor of terriorism. This includes members of the EU, large numbers of middle eastern countries and many others. Over the last 45/+ years numerous worldwide efforts have been undertaken to limit the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon. These efforts will not stop going forward. Which benefits all of humanity.
Not unlike our own government, the United States government was bloated and needed restructuring and reorganization.
Trump Derangement Syndrome prevents many from being able to accept and admit the situation.
Securing the border, deporting illegal aliens, NATO increases in defense spending, protecting women's sports, protecting American digital services from unfair tax levy's, ABC and CBS/Paramount law suit settlements, dismantling and/or interrupting Iran's nuclear weapon capacity, positive movement in the stock market (record highs), increase in jobs and lower unemployment, and passing of a tax bill that will provide relief to millions of Americans. All are wins for President Trump and those millions of Americans who voted for him.
The only chaos is with the Democrats, who are currently reeling from having to deal with the unhinged left wing faction of the party which will face much opposition from the so called moderate Democrat political traditionalists.
Porcupine is 100% spot on. The lack of reliable basic services (electricity, water, phone and internet service, fire suppression, medical facilities) are all examples of a dysfunctional Government.
Somehow, someway, it simply has to improve. My business requires that I must travel to many different countries, all of whom are able to provide reliable basic services. There is a level of comfort that goes with that knowledge. Unfortunately, when I return home (New Providence), my comfort level is severely diminished, and I must be prepared to fend for myself and my family.
LOL! Please expand on your statement that "Perhaps some have not read nor understand what the US Constitution demands". Enlighten us with the specifics of your Constitutional knowledge.
In a modern society, emergency services such as fire and rescue are basic level Government functions. In some cases, it can be accomplished by well trained and well equipped volunteer departments. Unfortunately, we have neither.
The US Federal Government retains the power to enforce immigration law. President Trump is doing exactly that.
That being said, as evidenced by a separate article on this web site, we Bahamian's could benefit greatly from a Government that enforces immigration law.
More of the same from Socialist Democrat Bootlicker Charlie Harper. He continues to prove his irrelevance. As has been previously demonstrated, "columnists" like Charlie Harper have lost all of their credibility. Academia, Hollywood, Corporate media and many prominent Democrats fall into the same category as Bootlicker Charlie. They perpetuated the biggest scandal in American history.......the cover up of a feeble, incoherent President named Joe Biden.
And by the way, student visas are a privilege, not a right. They can be reviewed, revoked, and cancelled for any number of reasons.
The EU is responsible for any uncertainty in the relationship with United States. The EU has not lived up to the NATO funding agreements, and has repeatedly been cautioned about depending on US taxpayer money for defense, all the while doing big energy business with their most feared enemy, Russia. While at the same time, creating a business environment with the US that is distinctly one sided in the EU's favor. Trump spoke directly to the European leaders about NATO funding, and has instituted policy to level the business environment. The EU is now faced with reality.
As for Mr. Springsteen, he is one many (including mainstream corporate media, academia, Hollywood, Democrat politicians, and "Columnists") who repeatedly lied and covered up for Joe Biden. As a result, the American public (from both political parties) place little value on any of the comments coming from Socialist and Leftist elites, Democrats, and bootlicking "Columnists".
