Look at Kansas and Oklahoma to see where such leadership leads you. In Oklahoma they've long preferred cutting taxes on the wealthy over educating their kids.

US DEMANDS CHINA KEEP IMPORTING AMERICA’S GARBAGE

“As it tries to strike an agreement with the U.S. to avert a trade war that economists fear could destabilize global markets, China has an ace up its sleeve that it’s just about ready to play: The Communist Party last year implemented a ban on imports of recyclable material that is provoking a mild panic in the U.S. The reason? The U.S. relies on China to “import” much of its bulk recyclable waste. But last July, in an effort to battle the “illegal foreign garbage” influx into China, the country’s Ministry of Environmental Protection notified the World Trade Organization that it plans to ban imports of 24 types of solid waste materials, including soda bottles, mixed paper, recycled steel and newsprint.”
