RE: Trump's Momentous First Year

in #discussion7 years ago

He increased the debt to the highest levels ever. Made some tweets about my country, the UK, that make him look like a fool. Seemed to have problems walking down steps and drinking water from a bottle. Had problems with his teeth while delivering an important speech. I have no idea what's wrong with him but I don't see how having him as leader can be good for the US? I'm not a liberal and these are all things I've observed with my own eyes, so no fake news.

As opposed to marxist sociopathic scum like obama and killary?

I'm not sure you can label him as the one who has increased "the debt to the highest levels ever" as Obama literally doubled the national debt during his 8 years in office. Whether the new tax plan will or will not work - that is another story, but I'd rather more money in my wallet then in the governments and not be forced to have health care.

I think a true conservative wouldn't ignore the elephant in the room. Just because previous presidents built up a massive debt, should we think it's OK for him to carry on increasing it? At least he is helping to kill the dollar and boost the price of crypotocurrency.

but ur claim is that trump has increased the debt to the highest levels ever - which is not correct! He can't be blamed for what past presidents did. Just like it was wrong to blame Obama for the financial crisis, because it had nothing to do with policies he implemented as president... although one can argue on what he was doing as senator during the time those legislations were implemented.

Also, I don't consider myself conservative or liberal.

actually he's reduced the debt...you must be thinking about the Kenyan.

The debt is increasing. I know politicians like to manipulate the numbers and try to make it look like they're reducing it but until I see this go under 20 trillion, I wont believe them http://www.usdebtclock.org/

odd how the debt was not important when the Kenyan was increasing it.;

It was, just as it was when Bush was increasing it. I can understand liberals ignoring it, that's what they do, I can't understand conservatives making it worse. It's the same in the UK, the labour party made a huge debt, as they allways seem to but the conservatives have just added to it. How long can that go on for?

I dunno...how long?
Is the TOTAL debt the number we should be concerned with?
or
the ratio of debt to earning.
the GNP is over 18 trillion dollars.
How much is YOUR debt compared to your yearly income?

I like looking at the actual debt, because most of the other numbers are too easy to manipulate. When the debt is going up, the government is spending more than it's bringing in. They can try and justify it but I wouldn't have a huge debt and keep spending more than I'm earning, I just don't see how that's a good idea. Perhaps it wont be a problem if the economy grows a lot but it seems like a huge gamble and guess who pays if it goes wrong?
