    Isn't reason pointing out contradictions such as asserting they are cutting government spending when they are actually grossly expanding it?

    Or is facts TDS, and blind faith is, what exactly.

    Define grossly?

    Do you mean spending us 34 trillion dollars in to debt?

    Because resurrecting Alcatraz, is not gross, for the message it sends.

    After all, how much can it cost to hold a man in prison?

    About $70K per year, assuming the infrastructure is already paid for, so NOT Alcatraz.

    We're going to raise the Titanic—bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before. It’ll float again, folks. Just like our great American spirit. This is going to be the most incredible, most luxurious ship recovery in the history of mankind. Nobody raises ships like I do. It’s going to be a very classy salvage. Very elegant. Gold trim. The best people, Jim Cameron, Elon, Lil Marco, only the best people.

    The Titanic went down under weak leadership. We're bringing it back under strong leadership—the strongest. We're going to make the Titanic great again!

    How is the current "correctional facility" model working out for the USA? What is recidivism rate of people that have been "corrected" in these facilities?

    A federal offender’s criminal history was closely correlated with recidivism rates. Rearrest rates range from 30.2 percent for offenders with zero total criminal history points to 80.1 percent of offenders in the highest Criminal History Category, VI. Each additional criminal history point was generally associated with a greater likelihood of recidivism.

    A federal offender’s age at time of release into the community was also closely associated with differences in recidivism rates. Offenders released prior to age 21 had the highest rearrest rate, 67.6 percent, while offenders over sixty years old at the time of release had a recidivism rate of 16.0 percent

    What business would be in business with 16, 30, 67 or 80% failure rate ?
