Trump has made so many promises and intentions and they can't all be top priority. And some will not be realized.

Some believe the states, not the fed should be responsible for thir own infrastructure.

Some believe infrastructure spending is another massive federal spending boondoggle and want to part of it.

The ole can just keeps on kicking and ticking.
Why do you think they're all freaking out about Trump and Twitter?

Stay tuned. Those doing the can kicking will be getting their can kicked all over Twitter REAL soon. They KNOW Trump will shame them into working with him if he has to, and he'll use Twitter to do it.

That's the beauty of Trump. He has NO shame. I fully expect careers to be ended by Trump single-handedly. Because if they think he's going to be quiet, lol. Wait til they're up for re-election. Trump is just the type of guy to let the world know EXACTLY who is obstructing something he's trying to get done.

I'm not really expecting a presidential term from Trump. I'm expecting a 4 year long street-fight. Look at his campaign and tell me I'm wrong.

The problem is that then there is an interest (by the prison industrial complex) to introduce more laws that result in a larger pool of cheap labor.

Prison labor is morally problematic. Though, in certain circumstances, I think that it is fine under voluntary conditions.

I think it's a great idea but voluntary... I think a lot of prisoners would like to be outside working than stuck in a prison cell... of course only low level offenders with good behavior... maybe even early release...

How about just deport the illegals and leave it at that.
