This thread being brought back is interesting! An EMP attack on the United States is projected to kill 70 to 85% of the population, more if done in the winter. To protect the electrical grid from EMP, it is reported to cost LESS than 35 billion. (at least it was 3 to 5 years ago) Why didn't Obama do it? He had the money free to do it, and the electrical companies could have passed on the cost to consumers if he so wished!
Maybe, just maybe, he was to busy playing golf, here, there, and everywhere. In one of his speeches, President elect Trump has promised to upgrade the grid ASAP. You would think ALL Americans would be happy about that prospect, but we need to see the excuse the left uses to make this out to somehow be bad, as we all know they will.
I wholeheartedly support president elect Trump's call to improve our infrastructure....including our electrical grid. And quick!
Now....who on the left has ever said that hey don't want to improve infrastructure? Why.....oh why....didn't Obama do it? It's ponderous!
You know Lone, I do not know why Obama did not do it. It is maddening! I mean, we spend tons of cash in the defense department, and one EMP bomb set off over the United States could wipe out most of the population? Seems rather crazy to me if the 1st order of business for the federal government is to protect the citizenry, then spending 30 billion to protect them which is peanuts in the defense budget....amongst others.....doesn't happen.
As far as my statement on the left trying to say somehow it is bad; I just figured since nothing Trump has done or said he was going to do, has met with the approval of Democrats in Washington, I am just playing the odds and saying......they will find something not to like about this too. Could be wrong, and I certainly hope so. The protection of ALL American citizens should be the governments number 1 priority.
I am not going to tell you that the Dems in Washington will heap praise on Trump. They won't. But....they aren't petulant children who will purposefully obstruct simply to deny the man some success. That is what your guys have done. That isn't a claim or a simple accusation. It is a fact.
Now...if Trump can get the GOP to offer up a clean ( meaning without some weird abortion clause or some RIFRA shit ) infrastructure bill...you will see Dems supporting it. They have been advocating for this for a long time. Similarly, if he can prevent the GOP from gutting Medicare and SS...he'll get support. If his wonderful and fantastic new health care plan is cheaper and insures more people...he will get support.
And...on EMP's....you sound like a nut.
