How do you like the results?

-Poison toys from China.
-Industry given tax credits to leave the country.
-Uninspected meat from many of the most dismal corners of the world.
-Uninspected vegetables, even those grown in the US, killing people with salmonella, botulism and e-coli.
-An airline industry in collapse which can barely launch a plane anywhere on time or get your luggage on the same plane with you.
-Bridges falling down.
-Roadways crumbling.
-50 million people without adequate healthcare coverage.
-Shortage of health care professionals, and some healh care facilities shutting down for lack of funding.
-Millions of new acres being plundered, especially in the West.
-20 million illegal aliens in the country.
