My first thought when I read that he was doing this was that it was to put additional pressure on the Supreme Court to approve tariffs.

Maybe that's part of it but, it's about putting more money into the banking system. Because we all know that the "bankers" run the world and get what they. We do have the best politicians and political system that money can. Literally speaking haha

When ever I would ask for any help which wasn't often I was usually told to toughen up and pull myself up by my bootstraps and how I was lucky that I had it better than the poor illegals that were flooding the labor market and devaluing my labor. I worked 2 jobs for most of my life and sometimes I would work 3 jobs. That and a little bit of good luck is how I was able to get ahead, and still past generations were far better off than I am at this age. My brothers and I know what it's like to have a bad injury like a broken hand and still have to push through and keep working because you don't have any other choice.
I didn't "understand" fiscal prudence until I was riding a public city bus and realized I might not have enough money for the next week. I was living in a foreign country that didn't have handouts for the hungry (ironically it's a 'Communist' country PRC).
I live on the 'Left' coast and we've got plenty of Latino workers pretty much everywhere. I personally don't care about how they got here but wish that we had a fair system that lets people in a rational way. Because my ancestors immigrated here too. People who want to come and integrate and make the country better are appreciated. But I'm sure we've all seen that there's actually lots that haven't come to make it better and actually make it worse. It's bad enough that all of the effort and dreams of the founding fathers are being absolutely ruined by their own ancestors. The depressing part of following these things as they go along is that they were predictable and were predicted and now that they're apparent to everyone, there's no glory or happiness in being correct. Cassandra wasn't a happy story but a true story that generations STILL haven't understood.
