Maga.......?

[Dave S]

Listen to me.......Just a poor fool here.....BUT spending...... trillions.... to what end????? Please help me understand............Thanks Dave S.

[Dave S]

And I am a really old poor fool........

[Tin Man 2]

The stock market is up, unemployment is way down for all Americans. I think MAGA is working just fine

[XstreamVking]

MAGA is a hive mind thought process. As in, you do well, and in turn I can then do well. My doing well helps others to succeed. And the whole system as a whole will advance and improve the system for "all who contribute". (This is the big diff VS communism) The big increase in employment and available jobs is an example. Everyone is truly doing better.....Sitting with your hand out as the dems propose is the reverse of MAGA. This will degrade the whole population, except the very rich and powerful. They will then use us as slaves imo.

I like trump..... Don't get me wrong.....just the runaway spending w/out limites makes me wonder where we will get to.

The debt is not an easy solve at the moment. Getting the economy rolling without dole is priority one

[XstreamVking]

Tariffs will go a long way to helping with the debt. So will shutting down all the freebies to the migrants and welfare leeches. Trimming govt expenses would also go a long way. Right now we have a very high military spending habit. Bringing home the troops will help with that. Making countries defend themselves, again helps. Trumps working on it, but obammy hurt our country badly and it will take some time to get it turned around.

The debts too big for all that. While those efforts improve the debt crisis they will not solve it even with 100% import bans it wont solve it. The solve is with policy and legal framework tying the hands of politicians from abusing debt and a schedule to work back against the interest over a fixed long term period. This has to be bound into law because it will take so long it must be approached legally to prevent partisan interests from buying votes moving forward. This will help on two fronts because while the debt resolution is the big win, it will also knee cap political games and promises of "free stuff" to buy votes, with YOUR MONEY lol. Madness

We will always have debt. Controlling it is the key....

[Dave S]

They no longer even Try......controlling is done with. Full speed ahead. That's why I am worried.

[LakeFever]

It’s a simple game of percentages. As the debt grows in a spiral, more percent goes to the note holders and less to the borrowers

[Jay Smith]

Trump is THE MAN can you imagine what a cluster the country would have been if the Maffia QUEEN would have won ???Trump was placed in office by Devine intervention ...If you put all those idiots brains on the Dem ticket on the end of a pin it would rattle like a BB in a box car !!!

TRUMP IN 2020

[Dave S]

Trump is good..... just too spendy.....and the Red flag gun stuff? First he did the bump stock.... now the Red flag thing. Those are both going the way that can get us in bad shape if/when a Democrat gets in office.......

[XstreamVking]

Trump's not above doing a deal where he gets one thing and has to give on another. (on the face of it anyway) He will tie the gun stuff (which we already have) to immigration and the border wall. The senate is the place the buck stops with the gun stuff. So contact your senator and let them know how you feel. If they have a bill presented to them, house may pass, but senate won't. Bump stocks are toys. Who cares? Background checks are already in place. Nothing really changes. Owning a gun is a right, but only for responsible citizens. Some people should not have guns. Who could argue with that?

The debt is in large portion caused by us. We vote these people in and they are supposed to do what we want correct? How many people go and visit their local district leaders?--only the ones that want something from them "nothing is free" and if they only hear from their constituents that are wanting something, then they feel that they are doing their job of representation by supporting it.
It is crucial that you get involved with your local republican organization and support their efforts if you want a change. This starts with our small township, city, and county budgets "when was the last time that you witnessed a decrease in any of your local govt. spending"?. Rick Scott did an excellent job for us in Florida, Scott Walker did an excellent job for Wisconsin but our local officials have no incentive to reduce spending "if they don't use their full budget allocation this year then it gets reduced for next year"-what incentive is that? We should pay our city and county leaders a percentage of what they save us just like the private sector does for its C.E.O.'s and then we would see some real change and attract strong business leaders into our government.
