This should be fun. We just put in a man in charge with no military or political experience whatsoever, and his only business experience consists of 4 bankruptcies...
He, himself, would have also gone personally bankrupt if it weren't for the banks that intentionally prevented this from happening in order to protect the value of his brand associated with assets they took over from him.
So what does this mean for out national debt? He wants to cut taxes for the rich and go on a massive infrastructure and military spending spree. That should end well.

deficits don't matter when a Republican is in charge.
another round of tax cuts, on the house!
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/10/up...nomy.html?_r=0Here’s a surprising conclusion you reach when you start to game out what economic policy will look like in Donald J. Trump’s administration: While many details of his policy agenda are likely to be staunchly opposed by the left, Mr. Trump appears likely to enact a fun-house mirror version of what many liberal economists have advocated for years: Keynesian fiscal stimulus.
deficit spending and tax cuts: two Santa Claus theory
three Santa Clauses if you count extra en lement spending: free child care and job training!
Ironically, the best way to stimulate the economy is through infrastructure spending, something Trump and the GOP have come out against
actually, Trump has been for that.
you don't have to trust the New York Times, it's been a consistent theme.
Trump will lose the love of the people if he doesn't deliver the goodies and pronto, deficits and bootstrap theory be damned.
Expect more government activism than you thought.
Think Huey Long. We've seen this type before.
???
Trump said in his speech after he won that he wanted to rebuild the bridges,highways,tunnels,airports,hospitals,etc... He literally said "We're gonna rebuild our infrastructure which will become second to none."
Dan's out to lunch on this one...
Trump has been for private-public partnerships paid with repatriated money and tax incentives...all one has to do is look at the boondoggle toll way between Austin-San Antonio to see that private money grabs are not always in the public best interest..
Obviously you never heard anything Trump said and read some columnist and believed it. He talked about building roads, hospitals, fixing inner cities, all that. Even a "wall" would be infrastructure.
What's wrong with the toll? I take it all the time. I think it's great.
It's not generating $$$ so it's gonna crumbling in neglect, also, ask the residents of Lockhart how they like the toll...
I agree that our toll roads should not be funded and owned by foreign countries if that's what you mean. Depending on the length of the contracts, I'm not sure what Trump can do to fix that atm.
That's like believing that private security gates actually keep you safe....
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/...highways_x.htmTEXAS: On June 29 (2006?), The Texas Transportation Commission approved a deal in which Cintra and San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Co. agreed to pay $1.3 billion to build 40 miles of state toll road from Austin to Seguin in exchange for the right to collect tolls for 50 years. The state will receive a share of the toll revenue. It's expected to open to traffic in 2012.nIn March 2005, the state entered into a $7.2 billion deal with Spanish-American consortium Cintra-Zachry to develop a 600-mile toll road from Oklahoma to Mexico and the Gulf Coast parallel to the existing Interstate 35.
Seems to work for military installations.
And? No one has to use it. If you live in SA you paid for the Alamo Dome, but you still have to pay to get in.
That's not the point....the point is that according to Trumps own plans, all this spending is supposed to be revenue neutral, but if you look around these public-private partnerships have been a disaster and not just here in Texas....fixing infrastructure is not always profitable for the fixer....
I don't want to share military installation security precautions but I wonder how successful security would be with tons of goods flowing through it's security checkpoints..
If you get enough projects, it becomes profitable. *Cough* NTTA*Cough*
Trash want infrastructure spending but not with govt spending, exposing his disconnection from real world
