Who pays for wars, roads, bridges, satellites, corporate ball outs and subsidies?

Who pays the military cost to stabilize Exxon's Mideast oil fields or Walmart's overseas trade routes?

Who paid for the Hoover Dam and the engineering of the Colorado River's massive tributary system so that the Southwest could be populated with modern profit centers?

Who paid for all the insanely profitable technology that came out of the Cold War Defense & NASA budgets?

Who pays for the legal system which protects private property or the Patent System which enables big government to protect the investments of private profit makers?

Who lends money to banks through the fed's discount window so private financial corporations can make a killing loaning money to cash-strapped American families, whose wages are stagnated so the Walton family can afford to buy an entire political party?

Answer: the tax payer.

OP: you should study what our immense revenue pie pays for. You should study all the things done by Uncle Sucker to help profit makers. You should learn about corporate lobbying and election funding, specifically the things which private profit makers extract from the taxpayer. You're only being fed one side of the story. We just need to change our priorities and slice up the revenue differently - maybe spend less in Iraq and more on hard working American families.

If we could get money out of politics and re-adjust the revenue pie, than we could start rebuilding the middle class nation of the postwar years, with its higher wages, affordable education and health care. Study the economic growth in the 50s-60s when great president's like Eisenhower were in office. Study Ike's tax policy and infrastructure investment and his trade policies which made it harder for corporations to lower wages by shifting production overseas.

Study the economic growth during Eisenhower's presidency when the top tax rate was way higher. We paid for all the stuff you're talking about. Wages were so high that the mother could afford to stay home and raise the kids. It was a family-centric economy, a conservative utopia which paid immense character dividends.

Don't kid yourself. TODAY we pay a huge price for unnecessary stuff that helps the people who've captured Washington.

Also, we pay a ton of money to support our low-wage regime. From law enforcement budgets to government aid to Walmart workers, to all the untapped excellence/productivity that results from underfunding schools - there is a high cost to the letting the middle class rot.

When you don't pay your workers enough to survive, they can't afford to buy the stuff you're selling. This hurts Main Street. Yes, your workers can go into terrible debt in order to keep consuming and supporting corporate profits, but this eventually ends in a credit meltdown as growing insolvency makes harder and harder to loan money into the economy.

Point is: the OP is urged to price the current policies. Maintaining an insolvent middle class is more expensive than you think. Underfunding education translates into a less qualified workforce, which also has a cost. Etc., etc

But who is going to pay for all your upgrades?

For the BILLIONTH time, if they actually cost anything, the bloated rich and skating giant corporations...

Amnesty............

As always, you make no sense.

How about this.........you dense. The Democrats have no problem with the illegals here because they profit off of them as well. That's part of their economy. It isn't necessary for reform. You have the laws and the tools.

How do the D's profit from illegals? Provide some evidence, and consider that many businessmen who own labor intensive businesses are R's - have your roof replaced, or have you house painted, you lawns cut or tree trimmed, concrete poured or other jobs required by labor, and in most regions of the US the workers will speak Spanish.

If they speak Spanish are they here illegally? Are there no Democrat businessmen that own labor intensive businesses?

It is not my job to check the citizenship papers of the people that paint my house, cut my lawn, etc., etc. That is the federal governments job to require e-verify by every employer and arrest those that are in violation of the law.

In my small town, there are several lawn care companies that are owned by legal immigrants who speak Spanish and English who may hire their fellow countrymen whether they are legal or not, and I guarantee you they don't vote Republican.

Response to each paragraph:

Q. Are there no Democrat businessmen that own labor intensive businesses?

A. "...consider that MANY businessmen who own labor intensive businesses are R's" as well as many business women. [learn to READ with Comprehension not bias];

I did not claim YOU needed to check green cards, owners of businesses should , but doing so is NOT Profitable;

You opinion sans evidence.

Like the Polish in Chicago or the Eastern Bloc in Florida.

When you have Democrat "economists" on the alleged left telling you that deportations would harm the economy for undocumented workers............you have a problem. There is a visa for that. When you have Democrats pushing for more H1B visas because there aren't enough skilled workers in the US---they are lying. Do you know why? There is a visa for that. O-1 Visa: Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement

But, in answer to your question you posed to me some ways back. Democrats are all about for-profit prisons to hold undocumented workers.

I am dismayed that there are blinders on to what is happening.

In 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton signed sweeping immigration reform legislation into law: the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act” (IIRAIRA). Two of the law’s central components were the creation of mandatory detention of certain immigrants charged with criminal grounds of removal, and the establishment of a program that permits state and local law enforcement to arrest, detain and interrogate noncitizens believed to be in violation Federal immigration laws.

These two components paved the way for the expansion of the cottage industry of jailing immigrants in for-profit private prisons.

Once the 1996 law was in place, President Clinton took the advice of then senior advisor Rahm Emanuel, who devised a strategy for the President to “achieve record deportations of criminal aliens.” In just two years after signing the law, the Clinton administration nearly doubled the number of immigrants held in immigration detention, and by 1998 the average number of immigrants held in deportation jails increased from 6,785 to 15,447.

Flash forward to 2009. Hillary Clinton’s “friend and mentor” former Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) added language to the Department of Homeland Security’s annual spending bill that required the Federal government to “maintain a level of not less than 34,000 detention beds” at all times. This is commonly referred to as the “detention bed quota,” and needless to say the Obama administration endeavored to fill every single bed.

As the number of detained immigrants increased, a corresponding increase in the length of time it takes to process an individual through the deportation process also occurred. In many instances, it takes months for a detained immigrant to get their day in court to assert defenses to removal. Furthermore, because of mandatory detention, no immigration judge has the jurisdiction to release a detained immigrant while they are fighting their case. This has led to an annual cost of $2 billion to taxpayers, or approximately $5.5 million per day.

Not to be outdone, and rather than making good on his campaign promise to make immigration reform a top priority of his first term, President Obama appointed Emanuel as his Chief of Staff and proceeded to establish an artificial 400,000 per year deportation quota that resulted in the detention of noncitizens on a scale that has never been seen before, with the President now being labeled “the Deporter-in-Chief.”

By 2012, the private prison industry, one of the main beneficiaries of this detention strategy, had fully wrapped its tentacles around the Democratic Party—blanketing them in a mutually beneficial quid pro quo for Democratic support of policies that increased profitability. For example, Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz notoriously sided with the Corrections Corporation of America over her constituents concerning the construction of a for-profit prison to jail immigrants.

But it doesn’t end there. In 2013, Senate Democrats spearheaded new immigration reform legislation called the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.” It was sold to the American public as commonsense immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented. In reality, it was designed as a windfall for the private prison industry. Moreover, the pathway to citizenship was little more than a Lucy-held football due to a series of barriers to legalization that would result in a large percentage of the undocumented population failing to achieve lawful permanent resident (green card) status, let alone citizenship, and ultimately once again facing the prospect of incarceration and deportation.
