Week One of The Weekly Wonder

I wonder how much hoopla there would be in Arizona and in the other US states who have so adamantly taken a stand against "illegal" immigrants if the men, women and children they were complaining so loudly about were white skinned and were from Canada instead of from Mexico, Central and South America?
Just wondering.

I wonder how much support there would be in Arizona and in the other US states that border Mexico
if people who supported the building of a border fence actually knew these facts: border fences don't work, they kill innocent men, women and children, and they are very, very expensive to build and to maintain. Ask the East Germans, the Czechs, the Hungarians, the Poles. And, the people who live on both sides of the Mexican-American border. I wonder about this.

I wonder how much support there would be for "reducing the deficit" if Republicans who currently receive Social Security benefits and are on Medicare, and those who will be eligible in the next few years, understood this fact: their benefits would have to be reduced in order to reduce the deficit by any significant
amount. Those two entitlement programs, defense spending, and interest on the national debt make up the vast majority of the USA's budget. The rest is chump change. Are Republicans really committed to reducing the deficit for the future generations? I wonder about that.

I wonder who will be elected to the United States Senate from Arizona in 2012 when Jon Kyl's term expires?

I wonder who will be elected to the governorship in Arizona after Jan Brewer completes her second term
(and is ineligible to serve a third term)?

I wonder who the Republican nominee for President will be in 2012?
