Well well well!

What did Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.

In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today. If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, and confirm it for yourself. Operation Wetback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The problem with the world today is the career and professional politician. All they want is power and will do anything to get it, screw the public is their motto.
Now we have a man who tells a different story, one the peole are crying out to hear.
But the establishment will never allow such a person to rule, he would upset the system.
So either they will fix the figures so he cannot be nominated, or he will suffer a terrible accident. The status quo will not allow any one to change the system.

He speaks in a language the public can understand, not like our state treasurer who yesterday was talking of' Vertical fiscal imbalance'??????????????????? To date no one can explain what that means. Any answers from any of you?

Hi Marian.
The same could be said for Australia at the present moment, we now have 6% [if you believe the Govt, I think it's much more} unemployment, yet they are allowing 250,000 migrants in each year, I don't know if that includes refugees, 90% of refugees and former boat people have not worked since they got here, so that is a massive drain on the taxes of people who are working.
According to experts in America Donald has no show of ever being elected, as although his popularity has ascended with the black and working people the middle class are deserting him in droves. He will no doubt be the Republican nominee but the Republicans are in such disarray they couldn't win anyway. I have my hat cooking on the stove just in case I'm wrong.
Cheers Des

re #15, John. don't you know a 'vertical fiscal imbalance' is a hundred dollar bill trying to stand on its end.

[Rodney Mills]

John in Oz, re.#15 and "verticle fiscial inbalance." (sp?) I think he means Vertical Fiscal Unbalance or perhaps In-balance, never heard of "inbalance." Anyway I'll take a stab at it.

There is a plan for profitable companies to make more profit, it's called "vertical integration", that goes like this.

A company (we'll call company 'A') is extremely profitable, it manufactures widgets. It is building up a tremendous amount of cash. So company 'A', who has to ship its widgets in cardboard boxes, buys company 'B' that manufactures said cardboard boxes.

Company 'A' begins to make even more profits as it has cut out the cardboard companies as a middle man, plus cut out duplication of non-production staff.

Company 'A' has to ship the widgets to various outlets. So it, company 'A' buys a truck transportation company to retain the truck companies business and to provide lower cost transportation of its widgets to its various outlets, which again means company 'A' is generating even more profits and cash, and on they go buying up companies all built around a central theme....Widgets

This is 'Vertical' Integration. All companies are vertically aligned within related industries.

This is great while 'widgets are a hot item, but if the market for widgets meets overproduction, a better widget, or a replacement by a new product it's disaster. Widget factory closes, as does the cardboard box company, and the trucking company etc. all down the line.

Now if you have an understanding of 'vertical' by my example, my guess he is talking about a screw-up or error in accounting (budget perhaps). And vertical accounts would be (as an example):

Group profits:

Company consolidated profits: $3,000,000.00

Profits by division: Company 'A' $2,000,000.00. 'B' $500,000.00 'C' $500,000.00 (as per budget)

But if you had: Company 'A' 2,000,000.00 'B' $500,000.00 'C' (100,000.00) (parenthesis denotes a loss)

Then I think this clown is saying he has a 'Verticle Fiscial Inbalance'. (sp.)

Now John you did ask for a volunteer to have a crack at explaining it didn't you? Be careful what you ask for...you may get it.

as Regan and gorby seem to be down to earth at meetings why not putin and trump they just might speak the same lingo and get on like a house on fire{shouldn't of said that} see what happens at the vote it could be a whole new era for the peace of the world?? just my view..jp

Hi Rod.
Our Prime Minister no longer wants to finance public Schools or hospitals out of taxes, only private schools and Catholic schools. Maybe that's why his treasurer said he would get a vertical fiscal imbalance.
