    About time.

    Never going to happen. First of all, the Chinese will eat anything that lives and moves, and they will eat just about every part of it. They have done so for thousands of years and I don't see them stop doing that any time soon. Secondly, Chinese medicine also uses bits and pieces of almost every animal, and has been doing that for thousands of years as well. Even less chance of that going to stop any time soon.

    We're going to keep proposing these types of budgets and hope that at some point Congress will have some sense of fiscal sanity and join us in trying to tackle our debt and deficits," Russ Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told reporters.

    Fiscal sanity, what a joke! Republicans always pride themselves on being fiscaly responsible, the keepers of the budget. Looking at the last few Republican presidents, including the one occupying the WH now, you can see the complete opposite, though. Reagan and Bush sr. left Clinton with a huge deficit, which Clinton turned around in 8 years, and he left Bush jr. with a record surplus. And what did Bush jr. do? He spent trillions and trillions of dollars on an illegal war, slashed taxes for the rich and ran the economy into the ground. The Obama administration was faced with the worst economical crisis in decades, but still managed to clean up the mess Bush jr. had made and Trump inherited a surplus again. But Trump being Trump - and a Republican - he can't help himself and makes the same mistakes his Republican predecessors made and whoever is going to follow Trump is going to inherit a huge deficit again.

    So what was that you were saying about fiscal sanity again, mister Russ Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget?

    What a stupid comment. I don't go to Watts in Los Angeles either. That doesn't mean I don't go to California or that everyone from California should get a free ride and house in Texas or Arizona just because the Bloods and Crips are there. 

    You said it was safer in San Salvador, or even the whole of El Salvador, than in south LA. That's easy to say when you're a tourist who goes clubbing for two days. And I didn't say they got a free ride and a house. Most 'illegal' immigrants work very hard for minimum wage to earn an honest living.
