The flow of money would be:
Businesses-->Government-->hospitals,construction companies, schools (businesses), etc...
It's literally a call for the government to take money at their discretion in hopes that they do what they say they will with it. Which we all know the government just LOVES to do what they say they will when it comes to money.
Education needs an overhaul, but 'free to the student' isn't the answer. There's already too much entitlement that we really don't need the majority of students acting like spoiled silver spoon party kids going to party school on other peoples' dime. Paying for your own college commits you to an obligation to succeed to say the least. We need to overhaul how our gradeschool and highschool educations work, raise the standards.

This is absolute bullshit. This is called Pandering and not Leadership. A good leader should have a vision and agenda. He should be open and honest about his vision and agenda.
You, the voter, then pick him for his vision and agenda.

Vision: agreed, Agenda: somewhat-disagree. The agenda should be based on the peoples' interests. That's supposed to be the point of our democratic system: we all have very different views, and the majority viewpoint gets their way supported by their elected officials. Not supposed to be: the voter chooses a candidate for their pre-election sweet talk so they can get into office and do what the
candidate/president wants. If it's in the best interests of the country, then the agenda is fine. If it is in the politician's personal interests, not okay.

Are you being facetious? This is why half of the Republicans hate Trump. This is why everyone hates Hillary and this is the core reason Sanders has support.
So you elect Trump because he wants to build a wall. A year later he caves to public opinion and he realizes he'll get more support if he legalizes all the illegals?? You are okay with that?

Again, we're a country of differing viewpoints. I don't see it as a downside for the reason I stated. I'm serious. Let's say (any pres not just trump) says "Okay, I hate all hispanics"... do you think he should follow his/her agenda to genocide/exile hispanics, or should the POTUS follow the popular opinion of Americans?
