Your second paragraph confuses me. I think this is what the liberal media does to spin the bs from the important issues.

Trump can talk all he wants about bringing manufacturing jobs back--but when he's selling Trump merchandise made in Mexico, it's not all that effective. Yet again, he's saying whatever he has to say to get applause.
Secondly, this "liberal media" madness. If the media was really all that liberal, don't you think they'd be giving Bernie Sanders a
ton of press? He's far and away the most liberal candidate, but your "liberal media" has devoted vastly more attention to his far more conservative counterparts.

But hey, liberal media. I'm sure they're not giving Sanders any air time to help his campaign!

The only way to develop green technology is to do it the old fashioned way in a capitalist economy. Public money in private business is terrible.

By all means, if you want to cut all investment into "green energy" that's all well and good. But if we're cutting that, we need to also cut subsidies to oil companies. These companies are raking in billions of dollars in profits annually, and they then spend a huge amount of that money lobbying to keep their nice handy subsidies and tax breaks.

Public money is already subsidizing energy, so we might as well put some of it toward renewable energy.
