Did you hear? Didn’t you hear? Koch is backing Nikki Haley! Did you hear? Did you hear? This, as far as I am concerned, proves that Nikki’s “tough talk” about the border is just that … TALK. Koch supports open borders because Koch believes that cheap labor is the path to economic prosperity.
Nikki is also taking a page out of the GOP’s failed playbook by talking about “entitlement reform” … which everyone knows is code for cutting future social security benefits:
Pledging to cut future social security benefits, even if you call it “entitlement reform,” is a proven path to LOSING. Nikki would not stand a chance in a general election against any Democrat, not even Biden.
GOP candidates should be talking about “defense spending reform.” We are approaching $1 TRILLION a year in defense spending. Russia does not spend even 10 percent of that, yet is kicking our ass in that proxy war known as the War-in-Ukraine … because we waste hundreds of billions on exotic weapons systems that, while mega-profitable for the military-industrial complex, are irrelevancies on the modern battlefield, while the Russians take the opposite approach:
One of the craziest revelations of the Ukraine War is that the US can’t produce as much ammunition as Russia, even though the US spends over $800B/year on defense, which is 10X Russia. American taxpayers must be getting royally ripped off by the military-industrial complex.
