FAKE NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm

 

"There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers. In fact they bought back shares, a few gave out bonuses; there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

Shocker...I'm sure there will be some good explanations and deflections forthcoming.

When the country is so far in debt, one can quit pointing at taxes as being the problem.  It is the spending. 

Obama was going to cut the debt with a scalpel (and teach us how to air up our tires properly). 

He needed a machete to hack of a limb or two...

I am benefiting on the personal tax cuts and the corporate tax cuts...HOORAY FOR ME!!

IMO the country and the future of my kids and grandkids would have been better if we would have held off on the tax cuts and worked towards some spending cuts and used the surplus towards debt reduction. 

The next recession will be a bitch, we won't have tax cuts available to help, oh well.

since WWII the US debt has only gone down Once under Truman (last war that wasn't all on the credit card)  other than that it has kept growing and growing (Republicans spend the  most historically)

Trump isn't going to fix anything, we will see the highest increases in history then move on to the new person who again will increase the debt.

 

They keep playing the people on debt " our party is the best "

Clown Sheep:

Thousand: 000

Billion: 00000

The debt is going to accelerate under Trump. 

what percentage of that incresing debt is interest on the 10trillion ? 

again I am 100% behind a 25% across the board cut every program every line .

then we start making real cuts department by department .

but we know you would never go for that with out a few thousand threads on how Trump is killing meals on wheels and the like
