I have to ask you.

5. That's not how it's gonna play out...

If they start cutting health insurance, Medicare and SS right out of the gate, they'll be gone in 2 years.

It's gonna go like this:

Repatriation of big money (that's why the meeting with Romney) no taxes on the repatriated funds.

That money will be used to purchase various public works. The EPA will be used to shut down sewer and water and this money will be used to purchase those public works for dimes on the dollar.

Some of that money will go toward purchasing national parks, national forests, and other federally held properties. Which will have contracts to continue in the current capacity until after 2020.

Toward the end of Pence's first term (Trump will be busy 'shoring up' his utility investments) the economy will be going strong and people won't understand that the cost of that will be a delayed bump in the cost of all public services and an elimination of access to parks ETC.

Then after the republicans win the White House and congress solidly in 2020, they will dismantle the safety net.

Fuel will be cheap until 2020 too. Then after they've got it all set in place and are looking at another 4 years, things will get really ugly and there will be no recourse.
