A morally corrupt dictator who oversee a failed state is better?

Well, we have the morally corrupt dictator part (see Trump) and he (see Trump again) is working on the second part, so you just might get your wish.

Funny, remember when you thought debt was a bad thing. lol



-------------------------
I was right.

The debt is a bad thing. I haven't changed there one bit. Progs have though. It wasn't nothing when the PiC was setting debt records. Hell, some of you thought that it was a good thing. As I said, Trump is performing miracles - he is slowly but surely converting progs into conservatives. They hate national debt now. They finally see Russia as an enemy. They are against tariffs. They love the FBI and CIA. Patriotism is important again. If this keeps up, progs will be throwing tea into Boston Harbor by the end of Trump's first term.

You have a HAP thread to find and fail to be funny on

When America was "great"

Obama brought us of of a depression, that takes money. The spending under Obama, once the crisis was averted, exploded when Republicans took hold of the checkbook. He and the Democrats did a good job before the obstruction and fiscal saboteurs too over. Trump is taking us to a whole new level, but hey when you cut the US's income by 40% and refuse to close loopholes, what do you expect? $350 billion in borrowing in this quarter alone...and in a solid economy? Or is the economy solid? Could be fake numbers, we are talking about Trump the king snake oil salesman after all. lol

Russia invaded a neighboring country, no one thought they were our friends. But, yes, I don't see the Russian people as the enemy, just the government. Putin isn't, has never been and will never be friend of the United States.

The idiot imposed tariffs with no backup plan at all. We can't make what he made 25% more expensive. Fuggin clueless clown. Actually, clueless amateur is more appropriate.

Patriotism is fine, Nationalism kills countries. You should learn the difference.

Even the most Friedmanian anti-Keyensian economists think that it is ludicris to be run a deficit that is 5% of GDP during a period of near full employment. Doing so guarantees that there are no methods to mitigate an economic down turn. Smart people pay down debt when times are good and only use credit to get through hard times. Current government is doing the opposite so when the next recession cycle rolls through the government will be utterly bankrupt. They'll then scream about deficits and try to implement austerity at exactly the wrong time and make the natural recession even worse by exacerbating the contraction. But that is probably their plan. Loot the treasury when times are good and then stuff their money in mattresses and hide behind their armed guards when the bread lines start. Now would be a good time to freeze or trim government spending AND increase taxes at the high end (just back to where they were before the huge tax stimulus that they passed last year) and pay down some debt so there is wiggle room when the bad times come.

You know, people are blaming the Russians for the disinfo campaign these days. Don't forget though all the Jade Helm, Pizzagate, DHS Bullet, Fema Coffin, Birther, and Truther bullshit disinformation that Infowars et al. were pushing and that many Republicans were amplifying. Trump was a mega birther. Congressmen were calling for DHS bullet investigations and such. Russians just joined up with a homegrown disinfo campaign that was already underway.

-------------------------
...

um, yeah. good luck with that!

Disagree about the tax increases, but otherwise agree with you.

Cole's right about the recession spending and it quickly went down ($1.5T deficit in 2009 and down to $500B by 2014). Under Twitler the deficit next year is projected to be almost $1T again with no sign of improvement. Dopes like Tspank are just happy to get his scraps from his billionaire overlord as part of the tax giveaway to the rich.

Remember when this used to run day in and day out across the Fox misinfo network?

I wonder why the took it away?

-------------------------
I was right.

Congress controls the spending. I wold note that the Dems weren't demanding that be less spending when the last spending bill was up for a vote. To the contrary, they were celebrating the passage of that bill. Many Republicans were trying to get spending reduced but, in the end, enough Republicans went along and approved a huge budget. Trump told Congress not to present anything like that to him again. Let's hope that he sticks to his guns. If shutting down the gov't is what it takes to reduce the deficit, so be it. I fully support that.

Hap, don't care what you think. You should strive to change that. It would make you a better person.

I :heart; Q

Eh, I could care less what you think. I'm solid. However, that post makes me realize you are dumb AF or you're just a troll. Either way, it shows your true colors.

Congress controls the spending.

Yes, spending exploded when Republicans retook congress, yet you blamed Obama. Were you confused, drunk or both?

And Tpap, I see truth doesn't really matter to you either. Is Trump is making liars out of the one-time honest?

"The House passed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, 256-167, with 145 Republicans and 111 Democrats voting "yes." The "no" votes came from 90 Republicans and 77 Democrats."

I was right.

Republicans absolutely are to blame. My point is that dems would be worse.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

Dems voted in a $600 billion stimulus package to boost a failing economy and you freaked out.

Republicans voted in a $1.5 trillion stimulus to boost a good economy and you cheered.



And your point is wrong, more Republicans than Democrats voted for the bill.

I was right.

Alt Right , Alt Reality

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

Alt reality is right. The fishermen, recreational and pro, that are being impacted by the algae blooms are screaming about The State not doing anything. One professional guide down Caloosahatchee way has a youtube video getting tons of hits where he complains that The State will write him a ticket for violating fish, game, manatee, etc... protection laws but isn't being held accountable for the horrible water quality. They don't seem to have noticed yet which party has had full control of the water management districts and DEP for a very long time now. They don't seem to have noticed Mosaic sending Pam Bondi up to Washington to join with the Mississippi basin states in trying to block implementation of the multi-state Chesapeake Bay agreement. They don't seem to care about Pruit/Trump/Wheeler gutting enforcement of the Clear Water Act even though every major sportsman's organization including BASS and Izaac Walton League (not exactly bastions of libtardedness) oppose EPA on this direction. They are complaining that the water isn't being sent south and that there is no movement to put in motion the projects needed to make that happen. Who do they think has been in control of the Amendment 1 money? Florida GOP. Negron is the only one that has tried to approach doing the right thing on the water quality front and that is because his district is ground zero for cyanobacteria blooms and the rich folks don't like the dead fish. I don't know what bizarro world they are in.
