Our #1 trading partner by far is Mexico.

If we vote it in, it gets overturned. If we vote it out, they put it in anyway.

Yes they could but it would mean they would have to reduce the size of their expense accounts and you and I both know that that’s not going to happen. Plus there’s the frequent flyer miles they need to accumulate for that family vacation trip to the Bahamas.

Besides, the source of that money has deep pockets and ruling class apparatchiks can always justify what they spend. Who’s going to say no to them or tell them they can’t do that, tax payers? Yeah, right. Like we have a say in the matter.

Seems like a column of nothings—like national news with diane “nothing happened” sawyer.

The argument that overseas travel (on someone else’s dime) “educates” state legislators about local issues is unconvincing. Does anyone believe Poland & Diamond Bar are a lot alike? Couldn’t the educational stuff be Skyped / videoconferenced? What about legislators ‘ (taxpayer supported) staff? Just sayin
