What will we get?

If you watched the debates or the campaigns in general, you may have noticed how some issues relevant to America’s future do not get broached, or, if an important point is brought up, how brief the response is and how quickly the subject gets changed.
Rhetoric may define an issue, but it does nothing to negotiate a fix. Barack Obama was elected president on an empty “hope and change” theme but did little to explain how his agenda would be accomplished. His intentions for America became apparent only after the election.
Hillary Clinton paid attention. Her reticence imitates Obama’s; that is details of the liberal plan are mysterious beyond the most general of descriptions.
We do know Hillary is philosophically a Leftist. I suspect her true political leaning falls somewhere between that of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, by far the most liberal president in our history.
Knowing that much allows a safe prognostication on what Hillary will do if elected. I predict the following based on Clinton’s conduct and the behaviors of Mr. Bill and Barack Obama. Here goes:
Clinton has described herself as a “champion for the middle class,” but what the Left really wants is one social class except for the ruling political set which is entitled to more. This is called socialism (at best). It is accomplished by redistributing the wealth created by successful people and by limiting opportunity within an open market through stifling regulations.
Economic compression can progressively achieve that goal. That’s why Clinton favors severely raising taxes on those earning $250,000 or more and why the Left is so anxious to enforce minimum wage increases.
Clinton is selling her ’tax the rich’ scheme as a trickledown antithesis. Don’t be surprised if, after the election, the $250,000 marker doesn’t miraculously drop to $150,000 or less. That is what the Left does.
Anticipate more and more government dominance over your money. This occurs with tax increases in many forms, a steady rain of rules and regulations regarding business and free enterprise, social programs ruled necessities, health care madness, and strict environmental controls.
Less money means less freedom. If you vote for Hillary, embrace that fact.
Production jobs will continue to flow unabated to Mexico and other countries under Clinton. She has no plan for bringing home-birthed jobs back. This is part of the Left’s international redistribution scheme justified by their belief that Americans have too much.
Our military, once the envy of the world, is in its worst shape in decades. Clinton will do nothing to change that. The Left wants defense money for social programs.
Drug proliferation will progress. Liberals see no harm in drug use and blame drug arrests for overcrowding in jails. Personal responsibility is not part of this ugly scenario.
Crime will continue to rise in conjunction with the spread of drugs, an increasingly open border, and the early release of thousands currently residing under lock and key.
The chaos on our southern border caused by Obama’s incredibly lax enforcement of existing immigration laws will be magnified by Clinton.
How do I know? Well, the following is a quote regarding Clinton extracted from remarks made to a Brazilian bank in 2013 and reported by Associated Press: “…her ’dream’ is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.”
Couple that with this Associated Press report from a separate article: “Immigration authorities caught just over half of the people who illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico last year, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security report….That’s much lower than the 81 percent success rate that Homeland Security cited publicly using a different counting method.”
Really? A different counting method other than 1,2,3? It’s just so Obama, isn‘t it?
Lies presented as facts.
Most of those caught were released. In America.
The article continued: “The 98-page report was completed in May and Homeland Security officials have declined to release it….The Associated Press obtained a copy from a government official involved in border issues who acted on condition of anonymity because the department has not made the report public.”
In other words, the border situation is much worse than this administration wanted the public to know. Why would a Clinton administration be any different? Secrecy and dishonesty are Hillary’s trademarks.
The only solution to this burgeoning social and economic crisis is a different type of president and a wall followed by very tough diplomacy.
Folks, if we don’t have borders, we don’t have a country.
