>> That an hysteric overreaction to an ordinary policy disagreement. Nonsense. This Empty Suit President put 10s of thousands of people out of perfectly good jobs, out of spite. He has no rational explanation for having done this. Has not even offered one AFAIK. Having been the victim of Obama's idiotic policy costing me 100's of thousands of dollars, I'm not pulling it out of my ass: these are not policy differences. These are jobs (in my case, businesses) these people have invested a lifetime in creating. The bar for willy-nilly destroying them ought to be pretty damned high, and certainly should come with an credible argument in favor. While one might argue in my case an argument was made, no such argument has been in favor of killing jobs over a pipeline, the existence of which literally has NO downside. He killed jobs because he wanted to jab Trump in the eye and for no other reason. Trump created the jobs because he understood the need to put people to work anyway he could. Now, we have an administration which thinks adding another two trillion to the debt is just another way to do welfare. I have to tell you, the comments I'm reading coming out of, e.g., Memphis, are astounding. People have already developed a sense of entitlement to this money. Not a few, but a city -- and certain other cities as well. They believe government "owes" them money. I have always known if you throw red meat onto your back porch every day, in a month or two you'd have animals demanding it. It never occurred to me that people would become so entitled so quickly. The demand for government payments is here and I don't see any of the beneficiaries acting like it was temporary in their minds.
