The road - widening cost the state $ 345 million , which Gov. Johnson covered by tapping a federal bond program giving the state 20 years to pay back the interest .

Mrs. Clinton champions the use of executive agreements in lieu of treaties to circumvent the constitutional requirement of a two - thirds Senate majority for ratification . A recent example was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to contain Iran ’s nuclear ambitions . It was fashioned as an executive agreement because , as Secretary of State John Kerry told the House Judiciary Committee , “ you ca n’t pass a treaty anymore . ” In other words , if the President ca n’t get his way by complying with the Constitution , then the Constitution must be tortured to accommodate the President , i.e. , to borrowtransaction.transferownership.nafrom President Nixon to David Frost , “ When the President does it , that means it is not illegal . ” In flagrant violation of constitutional due process , Ms. Clinton also supports limitless presidential power to play prosecutor , judge , jury , and executioner to kill American citizens anywhere on the planet not engaged in hostilities that the president decrees based on secret , unsubstantiated information threatens national security . In exercising this awesome power , according to Clinton , the president is not accountable to any other person , branch of government , or to the public .

That this includes cracking down on a free press by toughening libel laws , engaging in the ethnic cleansing of 11 million people ( “ illegals ” ) , stripping away citizenship of those seen as illegitimate members of the nation ( children of the “ illegals ” ) , and committing war crimes in the protection of the nation ( killing the families of suspected terrorists ) only enhances his stature among his supporters . The discrepancy between their love of America and these brutal and undemocratic methods does not bother them one iota . To borrowtransaction.transfermoney.nafrom Paxton again : “ Fascism was an affair of the gut more than of the brain . ” For Trump and his supporters , the struggle against “ political correctness ” in all its forms is more important than the fine print of the Constitution . To be fair , there are many differences between Italian Fascism of interwar Europe and Trumpism of ( soon to be ) post - Obama America . For one , Mussolini was better read and more articulate than Trump .

After Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 , the European Union and the United States used economic sanctions to target Russia ’s financial , energy and defense sectors . Western sanctions have multiplied the effect of the low oil prices , said Robert Kahn , an international economics senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations . Russia has very little debt , but sanctions have made it difficult for the country to borrowtransaction.transfermoney.borrowlendon international capital markets . Additionally , the ruble has fallen nearly 50 percent against the dollar since August 2014 . This has depressed the standard of living across Russia , because a weaker ruble makes imports more expensive . Russia countered Western sanctions with import bans on various food products , leading to a smaller supply of those goods and further rising prices . The World Bank predicts the poverty rate will reach 14.2 percent in 2016 .

Oil prices have dropped from highs in the triple digits in June 2014 to about $ 40 .
