Kinda like when democrats pass bloated spending bills and create easily corruptible new agencies under the guise of "the children" or whatever, so that when people get sick of the bullshit and cut those useless programs, they can cry about the mean old republicans wanting their kids to starve.
Domestic violence has decreased 64% since the Violence Against Women Act. But yeah, that's just bloat.
So has every other violent crime rate.

I'd like to see a graph with rates of all crime categories since the passage of the VAMA.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

They do all seem to prove that all crime has dropped significantly since 1994. So, y'know, the VAWA was more effective than you thought.

The new U.S. administration of President Donald Trump vowed on Monday that the United States would prevent China from taking over territory in international waters in the South China Sea, something Chinese state media has warned would require Washington to "wage war."
why you would talk trash about this on the same day you reopen the entire Pacific to trade negotiations is beyond me. Half the reason for the TPP was because China's trade deal offers were going to allow them to dominate the fastest developing economies.

This fantasy that America can have trade deals where we get incredible prices on consumerism goodies and resources AND get to sell our own high end goods without tax or tariff AND all the new jobs go to Americans is baffling to me.
