They must really believe there is yet a large bloc of votes to be had in people who were either not paying attention, or were born last week.

And they all ignored the net effects by studiously ignoring how the exponentially imports will far outstrip any exports gained. Hell, my bank account would look fabulous if recorded only the deposits and never the debits.

F*cking insidious plutocrat bastards and their sock-puppets.
