We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling.
May we so live that we go out of this world smiling
while everybody around us is weeping.

The fact that the economy has sputtered to its slowest GDP rate in 3 years means that Trump has a lot of work to do to meet expectations.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
Some of the things Trump is doing--mitigating the damages of Dodd N. Frankenstein, making business taxes more globally competitively: good!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
Other things Trump is doing, on trade and immigration, are absolutely toxic and anti-growth. Why Trump is pushing on these strings: baffling— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
I noticed that the Gray Lady is trying to portray Trump's initiatives as "giveaways to the rich". This is like saying tax refunds are gifts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
Let's be clear: when govt takes your money and uses it beyond its mandate for limited, enumerated, general purposes, it is THEFT.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
There are rumors that the Democrats plan to sue Trump on the basis that his decisions are intrinsically self-serving and corrupt. Frivolous.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
I'm sure, for instance, that Trump's businesses would benefit from lower federal taxes. But so would his business competition.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
Not to mention that most Congressmen (including Dems) are millionaires and no doubt make daily decisions impacting net worth.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
I'm glad to see the courts are pushing back on Trump's orders, e.g., sanctuary cities, which violate the principle of federalism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
Local police are not federal employees; they are not the Border Patrol or INS. They serve to protect all local residents, visitors, etc.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
@NSlayton No, politically correct repression is not inspirational. It's enslavement.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
What's the deal with masks? What do they have to hide? #NationalSuperheroDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017

Snake oil didn't work under Obama, won't work under Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
When the wealthy invest in bonds or businesses, these investments are not self-serving: other people benefit (residents, consumers, etc.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
When "progressives" tax investments, there is less of it, and it's anti-competitive in nature. Competition and lower prices are pro-consumer— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
@JohnFugelsang This is utter nonsense. What the Heritage Foundation had advocated was catastrophic healthcare as an alternative to HillaryCare.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
I never cared for DeMint's anti-immigration perspective, which is inconsistent with the principles of free markets. "Jim DeMint"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 28, 2017
@KaivanShroff This is a litany of economically illiterate rubbish. "Investing" is not lipstick on the pig of corrupt, ineffective, inefficient politics.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017
@ZarrarSalahPTI Stop engaging in politically correct nonsense. We respond individually to other people. The rationale for bad behavior is inexcusable period— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017
Life, liberty, property. Govt limited to protection & enforcement of unalienable rights, due process, rule of law . #IssuesThatMatterToMe— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017

Cal Berkeley has done the impossible: made Ann Coulter a victim. Censorship by intolerant student left-fascists contradicts academic freedom— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017
For economically illiterate "progressives" suddenly discovering fiscal conservatism on Trump's tax cuts: where were you on BO's $10T debt?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017
Question 2 to hypocritical left-fascist soak-the-richers: explain how the hell you propose to pay off the $100T entitlement hole you caused.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 29, 2017
