In reply to the discussion: Trump sends a 51st state message to Canada on it's election day. [View all]dreamland
(1,121 posts)23. He forgot to add that we'll give Canadians the benefits Americans now enjoy
Such as paying outrageous costs for health care, and pharmaceuticals.
There will be higher education costs for your children.
Your social security will probably be cut or the age will be raised.
Your taxes will be higher to cover the cost of you being a 51st state.
We'll also take your resources and privatize them so that there will be no government resources to help you.
Oil will be much more expensive as is other things because any trade agreement you have with other countries will be absolved.
We will make it great for Canadians, they''ll love being Americans.
Funny how we aren't talking about making Puerto Rico at 51st State.

Seriously, hyperbole aside, Trump is completely insane and must be institutionalized before he does more harm.
