Your rather naive belief that Hillary Clinton is going to be successful with the economy because she's married to Bill Clinton is amusing.
Bill Clinton's success with the economy and the debt were due to two things...the Dot Com Boom and the Newt Gingrich controlled House. Since Hillary will have neither of those things she doesn't have a PRAYER of duplicating what happened back then.
I doubt we will have a dot com boom but a Republican controlled congress isn't too far fetched. Even if democrats win congress in 2016, I doubt they'll keep control in 2018. She is going to raise taxes. That's one part of the equation. Another part is to cut spending which no politician will ever do. The third part is growing the economy which no politician can do. There are three possible ways to achieve fiscally responsible results. Raising taxes, cutting spending and growing the economy are the three possible ways to do it. One is impossible and the other two are avoided like the plaque.
With all due respect, Vas...raising taxes does not "grow the economy"! It will grow the size of government...which is why proponents of big government love to do it...but first year Economics majors learn that increasing taxes will slow economic growth not increase it.
Raising taxes does not grow the economy. It does the opposite. That's why politicians try their best to avoid tax increases. If you want to artificially grow the economy then you should borrow as much money as possible, cut taxes and throw money around all over the place. If you do that then you will be a hero for decades just like Reagan. That's Trump's plan.
Who wants to be responsible when you have the option to be a hero? Hillary thrives on being hated. She can make unpopular fiscally responsible decisions that everybody hates. We need at least a few short periods of fiscal responsibility. If not now then we will need it eventually.
If you were 8 years old and your dad took control of the family finances and decided to work longer hours, stop borrowing money and spend less money, would you like that?
If you were 10 years old and your mom took control of the family finances and decided to work less hours, borrow more money and spend more money, would you like that?
People that are honestly fiscally conservative are considering these things. I'm not talking about idiots that call themselves conservative and hail Reagan as the greatest president. Real conservatives hail Calvin Coolidge as the greatest president. Who? Exactly! The responsible guy never gets remembered, if he does, he doesn't get remembered in a positive way. Being responsible sucks. I'm voting for a lady that has the capacity to do what is best for the country's financial well being even though it will suck ass for everybody. It will especially suck for her but she's used to getting the short end of the stick. Trump is used to winning all the time. It will be great when Trump is president. We'll get all kinds of goodies. I completely understand why people want to vote for him. I don't want goodies. I want a stable country that my great-great-great-great-great grandchildren can enjoy.
