OK. It's 90 days. Not forever. Just until we can get a grip on the cesspool that is DC. Trump’s hiring freeze annoys unions — but could save billions for taxpayers and future generations Liberals and unions are outraged, but limiting the power and privilege of public sector unions makes economic sense http://www.salon.com/2017/01/25/trumps-hiring-freeze-annoys-unions-but-could-save-billions-for-taxpayers-and-future-generations/ Please don't dent the planet.

You make it sound like he had the best interests of the VA at heart when he signed the freeze order. Of course he didn't. He wasn't even thinking about the VA. It's a publicity stunt pure and simple, and if it does happen to fuck over the VA or any other agencies and departments they really don't care. If there's one thing that's been categoricaly proven time and time again over the course of Trump's career it is that he doesn't give a shit about the little guy. Can I use your crystal ball sometime? So, you think when Trump signed a hiring freeze covering the entire US government he was thinking specifically of how to help change the VA? That's pure speculation. Trump's willingness to screw over the little guy just because he can is a well documented pattern of behaviour. My point is I don't know and neither do you. Pure speculation. What I do know is many areas of DC are FUBAR. Run by beaurocrats and empire builders. As I understand it a hiring freeze means no new positions. I doubt it stops them from replacing those who leave. And if you failed to notice business in the US is about winners and losers. Like many successful business persons he didn't get where he is by playing nice. Sad but true.

Turnabout is fair play. I see many of your peace loving liberal brethren are shooting off their mouths half cocked. Chelsea Handler Says Melania Trump ‘Can Barely Speak English’ This isn’t the first time Handler has taken aim at Melania (who speaks English, French, Italian, German, and Slovene) and her communication skills. Back in October, the E! alum — who vocally supported Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton — poked fun at the former model before the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host won the November election. “Trump said Melania will give two or three more speeches…” Handler tweeted at the time. “Hopefully an interpreter will be present.” http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/chelsea-handler-says-melania-trump-barely-speaks-english-w462825 Stay tuned.

I was thinking along those same lines.

Economic theories are just that. Theories. The best answers come from countries or states that try it out. Its like safe needle injection sites. When i first heard of it I thought it was the stupidest idea since trickle down economics. But the savings in incarceration costs, health costs from the reduction in spread of disease. Makes it a no brainer. I don't think is an idea that should be tried first. But after a five year trial, EU countries should have some good data to study. You mean try it out like the USSR?

I think the black market problem could be solved right now (not that I want it to be). Simply eliminate cash transactions. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

You're still missing the most basic of economic theories. What are these robots and computers making and who is buying? In the utopian UBI scenario those receiving the benefit won't have much purchasing power. And that lot gets larger and larger as more human jobs are replaced. As the human jobs are replaced the pool of money to pay the UBI recipient gets drained. While some might see the UBI idea as promising I see it as a gray wasteland where no one wants to live.

The fatal flaw in all of it is someone has to pay for it. Who do you think that will be? At what % of the population receiving the UBI does it collapse in on itself? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

So the new right wing policy should be to aggressively intervene in the process of the free market in order to make everyday goods much more expensive? You must be so happy that you have the Whitehouse now, so you can do all the things you accused the previous occupant of wanting to do... I don't know the answer. You seem to think it can't happen. I'm old enough to know better. If the world had listened to the "it can't be done" crowd there'd still be blood lettings and witch burning. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

See every one talks about that like it's the younger generation's fault how they were raised. Do you have grown children? If so congratulations - it was your generation that pussifed America You are correct.
