At the White House, Trump told reporters that the amount of fraudulent spending the task force could recover could help address a trillion-dollar national deficit and significantly reduce taxes.
America’s big failing right now is entrusting our country’s future to people who never were taught the folly of compounding errors, who’ve never had to grow the hell up.
Nationwide protest against Trump’s march toward authoritarianism Saturday could be the largest of its kind in the history of this country.
The program could be endangered although some legislators and Gov. Evers still think action can be done. Some legislators believe a compromise can be reached and voted on when they return to session in April.
Wisconsin environmentalists wouldn’t compromise, so the state’s premiere conservation program, the Stewardship Fund, will die this summer. It’s an old, sad story and it’s one reason that green policies, once widely popular and bipartisan, are now on the ropes.
