[Jack.Yarn]

What Trump does't tell you is that the border wall isn't just to keep Mexicans out, it's to keep US citizens in

If you remember during the Republican primaries Scott Walker proposed a border wall with Canada along with a Mexican wall - that's when I realized that these proposed walls, like you say, are not designed to keep foreigners out, but to keep Americans in!

The thing is corruption is the first indicator of a country, city, town that will become extremely poor. This is evident in many countries ( including Western countries outside of the USA).
First evidence is when people start to move out, and set businesses elsewhere. When they explain why, many will just say the corruption.

One could say that corruption killed Detroit. Others could say that the emergence of Japanese automobiles in America in the late 1970s killed Detroit. Others could say that greedy managements offshoring with the blessing of NAFTA killed Detroit. Others could say that union autoworkers refusal to make wage/benefit concessions killed Detroit.

In reality, they are probably all partly correct.

Sometimes some politicians would love wars more than simple souls! Sad!

What you say is true. The politicians are working to cut Medicaid while expanding the defense budget. In my case my regular dentist does accept Medicaid . But many dentists do not. But they took me off Medicaid which had no monthly premium and put me on Medicare which costs me $134 a month plus co payments.
I only get $1200 a month from Social Security and they take the $134 right off the top. Try living on less than $1,100 a month. I worked for about 50 years and now live in poverty. And there are people much worse off than me.

That's a Glenn Beck and generally republican talking point. Even though I vehemently disagree with it, I will post it for completeness sake:

The real culprits are no mystery to the informed:

American Automobile Manufacturers helped kill Detroit by relocating their manufacturing operations, but in the end, U.S. car manufacturers committed slow suicide . Am I the only one who remembers auto industry CEOs claiming year after year that "no one wants those 'little' cars" in the face of annually rising sales of those 'little' imported cars? -- cars that proved, more reliable, better designed and engineered.

Advertising can carry you just so far. Failure to compete with a better product will wreck a business. In the end, you have to make something people want more than something else. And too, those bad decisions by U.S. Execs, like this one: http://www.economist.com/node/3473604, did not help.
