No. I wouldn't be disappointed in the least. I'm neither hard left or right--somewhere in the middle (especially when it comes to fiscal policy) so I'd be happy if he was successful...It hasn't been put on his agenda (as far as I know) but when he started financing his own campaign he railed against special interest groups, lobbyists and the money behind politics. I'd be delighted if he tackled those--he could start by reinstating the McCain-Feingold Act.
Fucking Super PAC's....
I'm glad he's softened his tone on kicking out the "illegals". We need some of those people to keep our food prices down. I don't have a problem getting rid of the criminals though.
I don't think McDonald's worker's deserve $20/hr. or some such insanity.
In vast, general terms, I oppose unions. I think they're antiquated and no longer necessary. Having been an HR exec., I know all the laws out there that protect the every day worker (and there are plenty). Unions are just thugs (for the most part) although if we're going to raise anyone's wages, it ought to be teachers.
I completely disagree with him on climate change and I'm afraid he's going to set us potentially way back on that.
It will be interesting to see what he does domestically. Foreign relations concern me more where he's concerned.
