I would be ready and prepared to sacrifice a fair amount of my quality of life for the greater good (of being more self-reliant, more secure, bringing some manufacturing back on shore, etc, etc).

But these guys have basically said "we're all going to have to suffer, and then..." nothing! No huge capital investments into green energy. No workforce retraining. No infrastructure. Nothing. So yeah, you're asking me to sacrifice my quality of life? For what? Ew, no thanks!

Of course, I'm pretty confident I know where this money is going to go: contracts and grants to private corporations owned by Trump's personal network. They are already prepping for this by gutting huge swathes of the federal government. When they say "actually, we think some of these functions were necessary after all, but for efficiency reasons, it's best that private companies take over these functions..." naturally those contracts will go to the right people who are capable of making america great again.

It's actually insane, it has me absolutely livid about this whole situation. Sorry, I do not care how anyone feels about "the libs." These people are going to steal the quality of life -- that my parents built, that my grandparents fought a war to create -- from me and my children. They will use it to enrich themselves. They will burn the this country to the ground to accomplish this.
