[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 32032, member: 35"] I'm willing to give Trump a chance, but his cabinet picks don't inspire confidence. Trump went after both Cruz and Clinton for their ties to Goldman Sachs, and has since chosen Goldman Sachs executives to be in charge of the economy and the treasury. A restaurant CEO who is against increasing the minimum wage, broader overtime pay, and government regulation has been chosen to be in charge of labor. He's also been accused of labor violations. His pick for attorney general is vehemently against the legalization of marijuana. His education secretary pick supports school vouchers, which funnels public money to private (including religious) schools. She has also never worked in the public school system, and said she viewed education reform as a way to "advance God's kingdom." Why bother "draining the swamp" if you're going to refill it with people who are just as bad, or worse? As for social security, Republicans are already proposing to cut it. It will be interesting to see where Trump stands on the issue once in office. I hope he keeps his campaign promise and vetoes the bill, but I remain skeptical in the mean time. [/QUOTE]
