There's 48 other states, ya know.

 

Example: Texas.  Although I did not live here until college nor attended a public school, the UT and A&M schools were dirt cheap, but it had nothing to do with the feds subsidizing anything, or even the state government.  It had everything to do with the ridiculously large, oil-fueled educational endowments the 2 systems have.  And those tuitions continue to be low for the same reason.  So if I'm displaying any ignorance, I'm assuredly not alone in that boat.

 

 

Try to have a nice day.

So their were either 47 other states (1950’s) or 49 other states (1960’s) and of those states some others also offered free tuition.

The University of Florida, for example, was free for in-state students for many decades. Though the exact timeline is hard to track because of differing language in the school catalogs — like a “registration and instructional fee” that emerged in 1959 — the word “tuition” for Florida residents didn’t pop up until 1969, University Archivist Peggy McBridge says.

When was that?

Trump worked on all this....plus NAFTA2 was a masterstroke for CANADA MEXICO and the US economies.   Never got any credit.

Now Trump wants to pretend USMCA was not his policy and stop many North American imports.

Trump cares about tariffs for only one reason. It is a huge opportunity to enrich himself by offering tariffs for grift.  Now that his appointed judges have made him fully immune from prosecution it will go into overdrive and our country may not recover.

Trump wants the ability to extort pay-offs for imposing or not imposing tariffs.  

Full Stop.

How do you support manufacturing jobs yet also crow about NAFTA? lol 

The 1st NAFTA was the giant sucking sound coming for US manufacturing jobs...Perot was correct.

There are different names for NAFTA2...one wa s the USMCA negotiated by the Trump admin.

As the world depends less on China many of those jobs are coming back to Mexico and here.   That trend is just starting. 

LOL my ass.

How do you get those jobs back once they are gone?  Lower taxes, fewer regs etc.
