Speak Out 1-21-18
I have read that some Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union Address. That's fine as I hope people finally see these politicians are not in office to represent them, but to fulfill their own agendas. They think this make a "name" for them.

I have read that some Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union Address.

They exhibit such a pathetic level of respect and common sense. With role models like this in society, we will reap what "they" sow. How unfortunate.

DACA
I don't understand the DACA people. The news just reported a young man about to become a doctor is worried about deportation. He has been here most of his life. Through school and now medical school and training. If he is smart enough to do all this, why isn't he smart enough to apply and become a citizen? But with free schooling, housing, food stamps and medical, becoming a citizen he would probably lose all these benefits. Could this be the reason so many of them being here 20 or more have not become citizens?

As well demonstrated by Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway, Missouri is broke and its economic outlook is not good. With public services already stretched beyond the breaking point, the last thing we need is a tax cut, unless our goal is to become an economic basket case like our neighbor, Kansas.
