President-Elect Trump Needs To Rein In Expectations!

President-Elect Donald Trump could have a great term of Presidency over the next four years if he just dramatically lowers his expectations about what he can accomplish; he has to lower his expectations because he doesn't and won't have the votes in Congress to do otherwise! Many commentators have pointed to the crux of the problem which is that Republicans will have a slim majority in the House. Richard Rubin wrote an article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal that was more specific on the problem he referenced that this present Republican Speaker of the House and the last three Republican Speaker's Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and John Boehner all had to use a huge number of Democrat members in their chamber to fund the government because the budget hawks in the Republican conference in the House would not vote for the budget bills to fund the government because they demand politically unviable cuts in government spending and won't go for dramatic increases in deficit spending! These Republican budget hawks in the House from last week's budget votes seem to number thirty-eight (the number of Republican votes that shot down the budget bill that would have suspended the national debt ceiling for two years). The dilemma for President Trump is that he wants to extend the 2017 tax cuts and in addition be dramatically transformative in cutting taxes across the board and do so with America's current yearly budget deficit at the crisis level of one trillion and eight hundred billion dollars per year. Even if President Trump were given free rein to ignore increasing the national debt which I will shortly explain why that is not an option to even just extend the 2017 tax cuts and not cause an immediate financial crisis by alarming increasing the budget deficit will require significant cuts in social program spending. Once this occurs President Trump and Congressional Republican leadership can forget about Democrat members of Congress providing votes to pass bills to fund the government the Democrats of course because they are not going to sell out their voter base would require restoration of most of the social program spending cuts which is not an option for Republicans. The bottom line is that if President Donald Trump wants to extend his signature 2017 tax cuts he is going to have to run the government meaning fund the government with only Republican votes in Congress and because he will then need to get on board the deficit/budget hawks in the Republican conference he won't be able to dramatically increase deficit spending which will mean that President Trump and Republican leadership will have to lower expectations about how much they can lower taxes and they will have to close a lot of the wasteful and unfair loopholes in the U.S. tax code to pay for their tax cuts and so they will have to fight the army of lobbyists in Washington!

Why is significantly increasing America's yearly budget deficits and America's national debt not an option for a responsible President and Congress. Because our national debt is so large that our nation is way past the concerns that it is morally wrong to deficit spend and leave our children and children's children and so forth to pay those bills and that the increases in future interest expenses from this increase in deficit spending that we are yearly adding to the nation's budget is money that won't be available to spend on improving the quality of life and standard of living for the American people. At the current time because the problem is so bad the American people have to contend with precipitating a sovereign debt crisis meaning that buyers of U.S. Treasury bonds demanding higher interest rates to buy those bonds a scenario like the 2009 country of Greece crisis where sovereign debt investors just skyrocketed the interest rates Greece needed to pay to sell bonds. If this Greece scenario hits America's U.S. treasury bond market it will trigger a massive selloff of U.S. Treasury bonds because holders of U.S. Treasury bonds will want to stem their losses because as the interest rates rise prior sold Treasury bonds with a lower set interest rate are worth less money the Treasury market will then collapse as there will be a shortage of buyers of treasury bonds in the market for the market will not be stable it will be collapsing and will truly collapse! This development will certainly cause a contagion in all bond markets because if the treasury interest rate increases commercial bond interest rates will likewise increase because bond sellers compete for investor money and again because buyers of commercial bonds in the market will be insufficient for the seller volume the commercial bond market will collapse. Further, the contagion will spread to the equity markets will collapse because the businesses in these markets will have lost capital as their bond holdings lost value and won't have access to capital as banks have a lot of their capital in bonds. America is such a keystone of the world economy the contagion will then spread to world bond and equity markets. One could say that the Federal Reserve Bank would step in and be an unlimited buyer of bonds in the respective markets and put a floor on these markets; one would hope but if the Federal Reserve Chairperson is an idealogue right winger that believes markets should correct themselves the full scope of catastrophic harm would not be stemmed. Even under the best scenario where the Federal Reserve Bank stems in if America suffers a Greece type of sovereign debt crisis America will be permanently left with higher interest rates across the board and so a permanent lower economic growth rate for America and a lower standard of living for our people as higher interest rates would lower their buying power.

One can sense a Greece like sovereign debt crisis coming on America just like the housing debt crisis that hit America in 2008 causing the Great Recession on that crisis one could see it coming if one focused on how many loans were being made with teaser rates that reset after a limited period of time and that borrowers could not afford to pay the reset interest rates the system was built on many buyers of homes flipping their homes and there a huge break down in mortgage lenders checking borrowers income and failing to confirm their income levels and that they would be able to pay their mortgages. A major sovereign debt crisis one can sense befalling America if one focuses on how sovereign debt investors are behaving very independent in current times normally when the Fed lowers the Fed funds rate Treasury bond rates drop accordingly not this time. Further Wall Street is crazy with greed bitcoin at $100,000 two year ago it was at $15000. Moreover, sovereign debt investors act like any other lender they base the interest rate on risk and what will be the value of their money when it gets paid back to them. Today, for America the interest paid on the national debt equals 19.5% of the incoming tax revenue if this deficit spending trajectory continues sovereign debt investors should and would be in fear of a populist President being elected in America that would default on the nation's debt a huge number of ordinary Americans would not be hurt by such a scenario so that it is becoming a very much possible outcome!

YOU EXPECT TO MUCH FROM US
 
Trump doesn't fit the conservative model either. What GOP president would have all of this on his record?
Assaulted our 2A.
Let the DoJ write gun laws
Spend $8 trillion in 4 years.
Vetoed only 1 spending bill in 4 years (Because it didn't spend enough)
Tried to shove a national healthcare plan down our throats.
Didn't end 1 war.
Increase the debt ceiling 4 times and suspend it for 2 years.
Reauthorized warrantless spying on Americans
Tried to give blacks $500 billion just for being black (The Platinum Plan)
Gave rich foreign countries like Israel $5 billion every year
Give historical black colleges a millions
Give womens organizations millions.
And recently, pledge to have the Federal Government pay for women IVF's

That all sounds like something a democrat president would do, doesn't it? Well, except for maybe Mitt Romney. Who also got the GOP nomination just prior to Trump.

Maybe the GOP is turning into god damn democrats. It sure looks that way.

Lately, I've noticed some of you Trump supporters bashing actual conservatives like Chip Roy. Fucking hell. Republicans bashing conservatives & supporting someone left of center.
What is all that have to do with being a stupid Democrat and telling lies? Nothing. Thanks for trying though

You worry about the democrats and don't even pay attention to how much the GOP politicians are almost exactly like the democrats.

You loyalist have destroyed the GOP and any chance of fiscal conservatism coming back to this party. All because you're so concerned with the democrats.

It was fiscal conservatism that made this country great to start with. It's what allowed the free market to make us the manufacturing giant of the world. It's what created the middle class.
And it wasn't until the GOP started moving left, (Reagan all the way to Trump) did we start having deficits with China and other countries.

Oh but don't you worry about the biggest spending Republican this country has ever witness getting re elected. You just concern yourself with all the bad things the democrats have done. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Republicans have their problems also. I don't recall myself running any apologetics for them. I'm curious however , what life destroying lies do Republicans tell that compare with what Democrats do and say ? The degree of dishonesty demonstrated by your typical Democrat is astounding. The gas lighting is infuriating actually, do you remember when Bowman pulled the fire alarm during a budget vote upstairs?. What Republican hoaxes compare to anything on this list in degree?

What lies do Republicans tells.........

Everyone of them that gets them elected, when they turn around and do just the opposite.

Trumps lie: I'm going to zero out the national debt in 8 years. His first spending bill, over $1.4 trillion he signs with a smile on his face. Then every other one after that. He didn't even try to pay down the debt.

These are the kind of lies that Republican fall for, time after time. And time after times, the debt, the deficit and the debt ceiling always go up.

And when that happens, it reduces the value of the existing currency.

And BTW, Trump was in charge of Covid from the start. In fact, the last bit of that gain of function money was signed off by Trump himself. And what did we get out of it? A flu shot that he claims saved 10's of millions of lives. You loyalist didn't even hold him accountable for that.

So you've got nothing that compares to anything on my list of hoaxes. Thanks

There's nothing compare. You asked me about Trumps lies, and I have you two big ones. Both of which you ignored. Just like you ignore Trumps 12 CR's, his debt ceiling increases, his assault on our 2A.
And still think the democrats are at fault for everything in the government.

Nothing compared to these hoaxes which are designed for maximum damage. Keep trying

LOL.. I've agreed with you several times now about how bad the left is. That's why I don't support them in any way, shape or form.
But this is about Trump. Can you not keep up? Stick with subject?
A.D.D much? Or is it just your political loyalty shining through?

There is never going to e 100% with a politician. I understand what you typed. I do believe in direction though. And a foundation must be made. Trump came into office in 2016 with what he called the swamp in near total control. This time he has fewer excuses.

And the swamp was bigger when he left. That's the point.

Either Trump was as ineffective as Carter. Or he was just pretending. I think he was just pretending because he reauthorized unconstitutional swamp building laws, like FISA 702 (warrantless spying on Americans). The Patriot Act. He not only assaulted our 2A. But he allowed the DoJ swamp to write the laws on his unconstitutional ban.

Either way, Trump is a lousy Republican. He'd better suited for the democrat party.

And believe you me, if he thought he could get elected as a democrat in 2016, he would've ran as one. And considering his left leaning idea's, he would've made the democrats a good president. He gave Pelosi every thing and every dime she wanted. Vetoing only 1 spending bill in his entire 4 years. He tried to get a national healthcare plan in place to replace the one we already had. He tried to give blacks $900 billion, just because they were black (The Platinum Plan). He didn't end 1 war. He didn't drain the swamp. He didn't reduce spending. He assaulted our 2A.
FFS, why haven't republicans not kick this left leaning con artist to the curb already?
 
You talking about the about million jobs Biden bragged about creating. Only to find out there was no jobs?

The government doesn't create jobs. Trump didn't. Biden didn't. None of them did.
We the people do that. Consumers are the greatest job creators on the planet.
