    What's more the obvious solution is for our dairy industry to start making more expensive cheeses and carving into the imports.

    What I said stands on it's own.

    I really would love to know how we never have to make budget choices and the budget never gets cut as you claim

    No you are the moron who wants to pick a fight over the fact the budget isn't infinite and Santa Claus isn't real.

    Sad you can't even get yourself right.

    At any given time it is.

    So while over larger time scales things may indeed be growing over the time scale a budget is drawn up that's irrelevant.

    "Can you expand on that?"

    If the concept of limited resources and zero sum games are alien to you, I probably can't in a reasonable time or in a situation where you are obviously looking for a fight rather than information. I'll just note that the country has finite budget for the government and a finite size economy. Now take a look back on what you rote and see how the above facts are incompatible with your statements.

    I don't hate science. I love science. I hate government schills pretending to do science when in reality they're only writing grants to get taxpayer money and doing no real science at all.

    Yet another solution would be to ban peacetime deficit spending, so that the proposed wall would require an immediate tax increase.

    Or the voters could cut budgets. Which do you think will gain more popular support funding 10 guys looking for exoplanets, or keeping 10,000 construction workers from losing theirs to illegals ?

    Even the Democrats understand this as every major Democrat has taken the position that illegal immigration is wrong they just remarkably choose to do nothing after elections.

    He even wound up being disbarred. While I personally thought it was a bad move, it was well within the bounds of law. If the democrats are going to bring charges against the president's family based on it, you can expect the AG to do the same to most of the Democratic leadership.
