    Yet what you propose will make it worse.

    Leveling the playing field? The Liberal translation of that is give to those unwilling to do for themselves and fund it by those that have proven they will.

    You don't make things better by enabling freeloaders. You create more freeloaders.

    Daniel Ray Coats (born May 16, 1943) is an American politician and former diplomat serving as the fifth and current Director of National Intelligence since 2017 under the Trump Administration. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a United States Senator from Indiana from 1989 to 1999 and again from 2011 to 2017, as the United States Ambassador to Germany (2001–2005), and as a member of the United States House of Representatives (1981–1989). Coats was a member of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence while serving in the U.S. Senate.

    Born in Jackson, Michigan, Coats graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois and Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. He served in the U.S. Army (1966–1968). Before serving in the U.S. Senate, Coats was a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Indiana's 4th congressional district from 1981 to 1989. He was appointed to fill the Senate seat vacated by Dan Quayle following Quayle's election as Vice President of the United States. Coats won the 1990 special election to serve the remainder of Quayle's unexpired term, as well as the 1992 election for a full six-year term. He did not seek reelection in 1998 and was succeeded by Democrat Evan Bayh.


    John Michael Mulvaney (/mʌlˈveɪni/; born July 21, 1967) is an American politician in the Republican Party and Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). He was nominated as OMB Director by President-elect Donald Trump in December 2016[1] and confirmed by Senate vote (51–49) on February 16, 2017.[2] Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, he was the first Republican since 1883 to represent South Carolina's 5th congressional district where he served until his confirmation as OMB Director in 2017.[3] Mulvaney served in the South Carolina General Assembly from 2007 to 2011, first in the State House of Representatives and then the State Senate.[4]

    Edward Scott Pruitt (born May 9, 1968) is an American lawyer and Republican politician from the state of Oklahoma who is the fourteenth Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Nominated for the EPA position by President Donald Trump, Pruitt was confirmed by the United States Senate to lead the EPA on February 17, 2017.

    Pruitt represented Tulsa and Wagoner Counties in the Oklahoma Senate from 1998 until 2006. In 2010, Pruitt was elected Attorney General of Oklahoma. In that role, he opposed abortion rights, same-sex marriage, the Affordable Care Act, and environmental regulations as a self-described "leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda."[2] In his campaigns for Oklahoma Attorney General, Pruitt received major corporate and employee campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry, taking in at least $215,574 between 2010 and 2014, even though he ran unopposed in the latter year.[3] As Oklahoma's Attorney General, Pruitt sued the Environmental Protection Agency at least 14 times regarding the agency's actions. In 2012, Pruitt was elected as chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, and re-elected for a second term in February 2013.

    Me? 3.
    Is there a point here? I am asking a very simple question of a simpleton; how many times he has been to Canada? He thinks it is so great and fantastic up there I wanted to know.

    As for me, I was born in Germany and have been to 18 different countries from Europe, to Asia to the Pacific and Caribbean. I have also been to four Canadian provinces and visit Canada at least once every two years.

    Try to stay on topic.

    Trying to turn America into a leftist shit hole is not making it better snowflake. And no, we don't think turning Americans into dependent wards of the Government or opening our borders to anyone who wants to come in makes it great like lying liberal assholes.

    And no, attacking the wealthy in this country and prattling ignorant about wage equality, job equality and wealth equality are what makes America great, they divide America.

    And no, attacking our electoral voting system and impugning the Presidency because you refuse to accept the results of an election do not make America Great, they weaken America.

    What makes America great is carefully vetting who we will allow into the country, encouraging good job creation and having a policy agenda that protects Americans and American jobs. Policies that get people OFF the government dole are what will make America great, not the other way around.
