THE CORN BELT GAVE TRUMP AND RFK JR. THE WHIPPING OF THEIR LIFES

As you can see most of the corn belt is solid Republican territory.  So, when RFK Jr. took on corn syrup, it was no surprise when the Republican Senators and House Members in the corn belt came out swinging against RFK Jr.  How did Trump and RFK Jr, not know?

It is just not corn syrup causing problems. The dead zone in the Gulf is about the size of Connecticut.  It is in large measure caused by the algae bloom which kills millions of fish and shrimp.

The primary cause of the dead zone is caused by fertilizers coming down the Mississippi into the Gulf.  It is fuel for the algae.  We cannot stop it because the people in the corn and wheat belt will oppose any regulation. Trump cannot overcome this reality.

WASTE IN THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

No one is going to do a thing about this real problem.  Why? President Eisenhower warned that the system which was being created guaranteed we will continue to make wasteful weapons.

Congress is about money for their states and districts.  When I worked on all 100 B1-B bombers I quicky learned the cause for delays was the number of outside sources which had part of the contract.  A simple part may have to go through 3-5 other contractors before it was sent to us.  The contracts ensure every congressional district gets part of every contract.  Now I am not saying each weapon is made in all 50 states, but I am saying they make sure all 50 states and multiple House Districts get part of every military weapon contract.

If you remember, at times the military has actually come out against new weapon systems, but Congress approved them because it meant jobs in their districts. 

When people like Elon Musk realize Trump does not have absolute power, he will walk.  House Members are going to rebel if their leaders put too much pressure on them.
