"Our inner cities (and Indian reservations) didn't experience this prosperity..." Our inner cities have experienced prosperity???

Note the word 'didn't'. The governments of these countries are acting in a similar fashion.
And the same thing was said about NAFTA. The sky was falling folks were dead wrong.
So now tell me why, again, I should trust this government to create a "social welfare" system funded by my tax money to support a third-world country and why I should care. How is it going to help America and increase our prosperity???
