Trump needs to take a tip from Reagan. When he campaigns for the Republicans, he should ask Americans if they are doing better today than they were two years ago?
If the Democrats gain any seats yet alone leadership, we are in real trouble. It would show how ignorant the American voter actually is. The country is doing fantastic. More people bringing home more net pay, taxes for this year going way down (according to my tax specialist). Hundreds of thousands receiving raises, bonuses or both, and we no longer have the highest corporation taxes in the world.
The stock market is doing fine, consumer confidence never been better, and the same goes for corporate confidence. Kim Dong shaking in his little pants, and ISIS is out of Iraq.
If Americans think we need a change from this, our country is doomed.
I'm sorry but you & your buddy Trump voters already made fools of America by voting for a fraud, business cheat, ignorant, lying, ***** grabbing gross excuse for a human being.
Running up the debt. Thast's great for America. You borrowed money & handed it out. A lot to people that did not need it.
Wow, & you claim not to be a socialist pig.
Too funny.
You on the left can never get it straight: taking less money from people who created it is not handing out anything. Handouts are welfare, food stamps, HUD, those are handouts. When you take less from somebody, it's not handing them anything.
So far Trump has 1.4 trillion in new debt. DumBama had 10 trillion in eight years. Let's see which one has less debt in the next seven years.
Well, this is probably well beyond you, but lets try to help you to understand.
Your talking about the increase in the national debt over time. You seem to think that is based on spending, but it is not. Let me try to explain. In a really really bad economy, as we were facing when Obama took office, the DEFICIT ALWAYS GROWS, because;
1. Unemployment is going up like a rocket, so receipts decrease because people are not working and therefor not paying tax. Net is, debt is growing.
2. Unemployed people and families get payments, as in unemployment and food stamps. Again, the net is debt is growing.
3. Net is, you have the debt growing without spending any more than you have to. Such was the case with the Obama years. Debt growth was not from excessive spending, but rather because of an inherited bad economy for the first several years.
In a really good economy,, as in when Trump took office:
1. Unemployment was very low, so unemployment payments were very low. The debt was not affected by unemployment or food stamps as much.
2. Since people were employed, So the net debt was not growing much at all.
3. So, you had little debt growth. What debt growth there was occurred from spending, or tax cuts,
so, net is that in the obama years debt growth was unavoidable due to unemployment, whereas in the Trump years debt growth is voluntary based on tax cuts and spending.
