Good thing he grounded the old biddy.  Trump's planning to make an announcement tomorrow that concerns the shutdown and the border.   She needs to be here to listen.  Maybe this is why she was so anxious to leave.

Ms. Pelosi just denied the President the use of the Hall of Congress for his SOTU address.  I'd like to see him speak some place where Congress didn't have room to sit.  They were a total embarassment at the last one.  Dems that is.  I believe they were playing on their cell phones, yawning,  and walking in and out like children while Trump was speaking about Angel Moms and Dads.  They have zero sympathy.  
 

OregonBR - 2019-01-23 3:07 PM I'm sorry. I hate that you or anyone is being hurt by this. I do stand with Trump on this though. I hope they reach an agreement with the wall funding intact.

To those of you who are seriously interested in the direction liberals want this country to take, I have an excellent book to suggest you consider reading: “The Road to Serfdom”, by Freidrich Hayek. Hayek first published this book around the end of WWII.
It is not a real fast read, because you have to really read and absorb his message.
He led a fascinating life, and his contributions to economics are legendary.

Here is one of his many noteworthy quotes:
“I am certain that nothing has done so much to destroy the juridical safeguards of individual freedom as the striving after this mirage of social justice.”

Pelosi and the Progressive Liberal Democrat Party want two things that simply cannot co-exist, without leading to eventual complete collapse. For purposes of securing power, they want free immigration and a greater welfare state. You don’t have to be a Nobel laureate to understand how this will doom us to the ash heap of history.

I’m saying this doesn’t apply merely to means-tested welfare programs such as food stamps, Medicaid, and public housing, but to the entire Obamunist “redistributive” transfer state. Under Obamunism, government taxes the upper middle class and shifts some $1.5 trillion in economic resources to lower-income groups through a vast variety benefits and subsidies. Across the globe, this sort of economic redistribution is the largest, if not the predominant, function of government in so-called “advanced” societies.

Here’s how Pelosi and her merry band of social justice warriors see this working: The transfer state (government) redistributes funds from those with high-skill and high-income levels to those with lower skill levels. Low-skill immigrants become natural recipients in this process. On average, low-skill immigrant families receive over $30K per year in government benefits and services while paying less than $10K in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of about $20K that has to be paid by higher-income taxpayers. We are doing this now with our own citizen-indigents.....they want this to multiply, not on the basis of “humanitarianism”. Let’s be honest. They want it purely to further secure political power, and wealth for rich liberal plutocrats. Immigrants who would be a direct economic burden upon citizens through the public coffers should have no claim to be admitted into the nation. They are brainwashed into believing this is a God given right. Liberals, at the direction of their wealthy handlers, promote an immigration policy which grants citizenship to vast numbers of low-skill, low-income immigrants not only creates new beneficiaries for government transfers, but new voters likely to support even greater transfers in the future. They want to streamline this influx by enabling illegal immigration as a shortcut to citizenship.
This enhanced granting of citizenship amounts to a transfer of political power. Access to the U.S. ballot box also provides access to the American taxpayer's bank account. This is particularly problematic with regard to low-skill illegal immigrants. Within an active Obamunist-redistributionist state, unlimited immigration can threaten limited government.....one of the key pillars to real conservatism. Some “moderates” see this as a basic compromise solution: Borders should be open, but immigrants should be barred from accessing welfare and other benefits. If you believe this, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.

Currently some 12-20 million illegal immigrants (60 percent of whom are high-school dropouts) access to Social Security, Medicare, and, over time, to 60 federal means-tested welfare programs. Opening borders with the redistributionist state still intact will result in a larger and more confiscatory government.....anyone paying attention to Ocasio-Cortez-Cortez and her 70% tax on the very wealthy? Has anyone run the math on her air-head proposal?

Power-hungry Progressive Liberal plutocrats understand that a steady stream of low-skill immigrants will help him build a much larger, tax-fueled massively bloated government.

In the end, we will have lived on that “Road to Serfdom”, when theory becomes reality.
