Let me make an analogy for you. You probably won't understand or won't agree (because you're one of Trumps drones), but I'll make it anyways,
1) The rising cost of healthcare has been a problem in the US, and a number of people could not afford it. The Obama administration pushed through the Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare) to address it. It solved some problems, but overall it was a poorly thought out and implemented solution which really was no solution at all, as it completely avoided the true root cause of the healthcare issue in the U.S., which was out of control costs. In short, the ACA is a non-solution which completely missed it's mark. But supporters of Obama love it, because it's their guy and their party who did it.
2) Illegal immigration is a problem. Trump is trying to build a wall at the southern border to address it. It may deter some border crossings, but certainly not all. But overall, it's a poorly thought out solution to the real problem with illegal immigration, which is visa overstays. The wall essentially is a non-solution to illegal immigration that completely misses it's mark. But supporters of Trump love it, because it's their guy and their party trying to do it.
See how that works?
To put it another way . . . the wall is just Trump's version of Obamacare. The wrong solution to a problem.
good goddam analogy 1) and 2)
i was a ram it througher
in the hopes it would lead to universal coverage some way or another--because i thought that must lead to better cheaper outcomes--so you are right too the big overarching reason we need anything at all is cost
maybe i was wrong but now the poor got healthcare they want to keep it which is worth something
this thing trump is trying to stymie his way through i don get the end game. what he really wants
yes i would give him his stupid wall
it just seems to me the only endgame he has in mind is to win another election
what for?
