The corrupt media, DOJ/FBI, biased pollsters, Obama all could not yield a victory for the Criminal-Clinton. Like husband- like wife. She and her campaign called the Latinos "taco vote". They went after every group and fired off the deplorable comments and Trump is racist? Right.
The people protesting have no jobs, family and live in mommy's basement smoking weed and can't cope when they don't get a favorable result.
Ener legally or gtfo- especially the ones with criminal records. Try entering Mexico illegally and see how that works out for u.Quote:

He tacked on about 2.4 trillion to Bush's near 5 trillion marker he ran up while in office.
St. Ronnie ran up about 1.6 trillion in debt, when adjusted for inflation, is 3.27 trillion in today's dollars, the largest increase (percentage wise) from a prior US president in the past few decades.

No honest fiscal conservative likes trickle-down/Reaganomics.
I see liberals have moved on to their next stage of denial. First it was "he won't actually run," then it was "he won't actually win the nomination," then it was "he won't actually win the election," and now it's "he won't actually keep his promises." Will you guys ever get tired of being wrong? At least give the man a chance to move into the White House and get to work before you start declaring what he can't get done.
deportin 11m cholos....how much of a strain are they on welfare compared to other ethnic minorities?
1.Get a chart that isnt two years old, when you would have been correct. But, two years later, what people would refer to as "right now", the debt is 19 trillion. You are very, very wrong, unless we are in January 2015. LOLZY. Sour grapes. And wrong...again.Quote:

On Jan. 20, 2009, when Obama took office, the gross federal debt was $10.63 trillion. As of Aug. 3, 2016, it is $19.4 trillion. No Bueno.Quote:

Running trade deficits aren't the same thing as spending. Only government spending is considered in the graph. In the current economy, we'll always likely run a trade deficit because we import more than export, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. People need to stop looking at government like it's household or credit card debt.Quote:

One big part of the well-financed campaign for economic austerity is the contention that the public debt is like a national credit card. If we keep charging on it, the argument goes, we’ll get overwhelmed with interest costs, suffer a reduced standard of living and, pretty soon, go bankrupt.
Most important, this credit-card metaphor is a totally false analogy because, unlike a consumer on a spending spree who later has to pay the piper, government’s borrowing strategy directly affects economic growth. When deficit spending helps increase growth, that, in turn, makes the debt less burdensome. The Federal Reserve also has the power to buy public debt ‑ a prerogative not available to consumers.
That’s where government borrowing comes in. Unlike private credit-card debt, public borrowing can improve a depressed economy’s performance.
Naturally the debt was going to increase under Obama because he needed to spend to spur growth and get us out of the recession. FDR did the same exact thing. Trump has also proposed something similar. He wants to double Clinton's planned 250 billion dollar infrastructure budget and build, his words, "infrastructure that is second to none in the world." I'm in favor of that. Where St. Ronnie and Bush II came under fire is because the majority of their spending was on foreign policy pissing contests and wars that don't benefit us domestically nor long term like an infrastructure overhaul would (new/revamped infrastructure would create more domestic jobs to build and maintain said infrastructure). Trump has also vowed to increase military spending while keeping his tax cuts intact, which would only serve the special interests of the Military Industrial Complex. I'm explicitly against that, and I think well meaning libertarians like Clipper Nation would be, too.
Also, don't reflexively think I support Obama's overall spending practices because I criticized Trump. Obama isn't too dissimilar, but he's more FDR where Trump's is more Reagan.
i hope he does well. i just have my doubts. otherwise i woulda just voted for him :lolQuote:

Let me illustrate via an example. Let's take 2 hypothetical countries - DC and Marvel - with the same currency and identical levels of debt (25 Billion). DC has a healthy economy and is running a surplus of 1B when President Batman takes over, while Marvel is in a slump and running a deficit of 5B when President Hulk takes over. Batman is happy with his surplus and starts cutting taxes and spending heavily, while Hulk tries to recover Marvel's economy and slowly reduce the deficit. Here are the deficits that they run up ($B) over 8 years:
Batman: +1 (starting point), 0, -1, -1, -2, -2, -3, -3, -4 (end point)
Hulk: -5 (starting point), -5, -4.5, -4, -3.5, -3, -2, -2 (end point)
If you compare debt increase over 8 years, Batman is at $16B (64%), and Hulk is at $24B (96%). However, Batman inherited a surplus and turned it into a high deficit, whereas Hulk inherited a high deficit and reduced it significantly. However you could still use the catchphrase "Hulk doubled the national debt" to make him look bad.
Replace Batman with Dubya, and Hulk with Obama, and instead of absolute deficits use deficit as a % of GDP. And then you get the flawed narrative of Obama being a tax-and-spend liberal when in fact he has been more fiscally conservative than Bush or Reagan.
Great stuff. Explained it better than I.Quote:

I have no clue how he's going to pay for a trillion dollar infrastructure overhaul and increased defense spending with his tax plan.
How the fuck do illegal immigrants get in the U.S?
Are your borders that shitty ? :lol
