Trump - Make America Great Again!

[Troglodyte]

I thought Trump was in favor of letting people use whatever bathroom they wanted to use?

Tibs:

Krugman - a political hitman and Clinton flunkie for years - wrote:

"federal interest payments are only 1.3 percent of G.D.P., or 6 percent of total outlays."

Krugman is simply lying about the nature of the problem. Specifically, interest on the debt now consumes 6% of ALL spending only because the United States is paying less than it owes on the interest, and simply converting a significant portion of the interest debt into more future debt. Even then, spending on the debt is now 1/4th as much as all discretionary spending, combined.

Also, the interest obligation is rising significantly in light of the massive increase in national debt, to its present $18 trillion level.

Further, the Federal government has monetized the debt, as I explained several times in previous posts, by enacting a zero-interest rate monetary policy and buying up a tremendous amount of its own debt.

That works short-term, but over any reasonable stretch of time, interest will NOT remain at zero percent. When the interest rates goes up - and it will - the amount spent servicing the debt increases for that reason, let alone because the debt has tripled over the past 20 years.

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/08/federal-spending-by-the-numbers-2013

• At the current 2.3% interest rate on $18.2 trillion in national debt, we have accrued $351 billion in interest, but we’re only budgeted to pay $229 billion, which is 6% of total spending and 7.2% of actual tax revenue.
• At a 4% interest rate on $18.2 trillion in national debt, the amount accrued in interest annually would be $728 billion, which is 19% of total spending and 23% of actual tax revenue.
• At a 6% interest rate on $18.2 trillion in national debt, the amount accrued in interest annually would be $1.09 trillion, which is 29% of total spending and 34% of actual tax revenue.
• At a 6% interest rate on $18.2 trillion in national debt, the amount accrued in interest annually would be $1.09 trillion, which is 29% of total spending and 34% of actual tax revenue.
• At an 8% interest rate on $18.2 trillion in national debt, the amount accrued in interest annually would be $1.456 trillion, which is 39% of total spending and 46% of actual tax revenue.

http://www.theimaginativeconservati...r-fathers-interest-and-the-national-debt.html

The net result is this: Paying interest to finance the debt is going to be a significant problem for this country, within the next generation. That is because the bill is coming due, and only a complete liar like Krugman would miss the picture:

Therefore, Paul Krugman ignores each of the following undeniable facts (established by the Congressional Budget Office and economic history):

• The United States is not even paying its current debt obligation.
• The United States is avoiding paying its current debt obligation by converting the interest obligation into more debt.
• This is no different than paying off credit card interest by way of a credit card, thereby INCREASING the underlying debt and interest obligation.
• Krugman foolishly pretends that the interest rate will effectively be zero for the next 20 years.
• Only a complete fool and liar would believe that to be the case. In truth, interest will rise as inflation rises, just as we have seen over the past 4 months.
• At just 4% interest - a very low level - spending on interest will consume 29% of all spending and 34% of all tax revenue.
• Why is spending at 4% interest higher in terms of tax revenue than spending? Because future deficit spending, thereby increasing the national debt.
• Guess what increasing the national debt above $20 trillion, then $25 trillion, does ...

So do what all educated and informed readers do with Paul Krugman: Ignore him.

Here is the real danger of Trump to GOP that nobody has pointed out. Currently in recent polling Trump is up by 1% in Georgia and
within the margin of error in Texas against Hillary in general election. Those states have been heavy GOP states because eligible
Hispanics have not registered to vote. If Dems are smart, they will use Trumps hate speech against Hispanics to motivate a mass registration.
Might not make a difference in general election, but would change politics in those states into the future.

I will predict that Hillary will win Georgia and Arizona driven by high Hispanic turnout.

The same Paul "Bubble Boy" Krugman that advised the the Clinton Regime to create the tech and housing bubbles that popped just as Bush 43 took over? Yeah I will write this off as not being from a credible source.

he's likely evolved since then. most democrats are always evolving. someday they may sprout legs and walk right out of that primordial swamp they keep exchanging genes in.

Don't kid yourself. At this point, any vote for anyone that is not Donald Trump is a vote for Hillary Clinton. Also, both Presidential boxes left blank is a vote for Hillary Clinton because as mindless as Liberals can be even they don't enter into suicide pacts with that petulant, whiny part of themselves. As that is your wont, fine...do it! But don't bullshit yourself. You're electing Hillary Clinton because you want to elect Hillary Clinton.

 

[SteelChip]

Just think, we got 6 more months of this.

Rosie O’Donnell is ready to leave the country…so she says, if Trump is elected. Which, maybe part of what Trump meant about “Making America Great Again” If he gets into office..it looks like many who are a part of the problem in America will be leaving!

The long-time, anti-gun, fetus-hating activist (insult to activism) has never seen a gun she didn’t want to ban. On her show while debating Tom Selleck she said the following: “I think the Second Amendment is in the Constitution so that we can have muskets when the British people come over in 1800. I don’t think it’s in the Constitution to have assault weapons in the year 2000.”

The Republican presidential front-runner said Tuesday on ‘Fox & Friends’ that purging the United States of Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg and Lena Dunham would be a pot sweetener if he wins the White House.

she said the following: “I think the Second Amendment is in the Constitution so that we can have muskets when the British people come over in 1800. I don’t think it’s in the Constitution to have assault weapons in the year 2000.”

And she's 100% correct in making that statement.

And she's 100% correct in making that statement.

But but but...

[SteelChip]

Yeh but it wouldn't be correct if they didn't have all those damn "assault" guns all over the place back then....Oh wait.

SteelChip, explain to me again why we can't walk around with shoulder-fired rocket launchers, carry hand grenades, have backyard heat-seeking missiles, or just simply store family-pack nukes in the house to protect ourselves from our own government? Following your logic, that's basically where we'd need to be in the arms race of private citizens vs. the U.S. Armed Forces.

 

[Spike]

So if indicted, Hillary should stay in the race?

Donks never go where you want them

Socialism is the creed of ignorance

Lenin stated that the goal of socialism is communism and Karl Marx quipped that democracy is the road to socialism.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” – Winston Churchill

The platform of some of those campaigning for the office of President of the United States leans heavily on the belief that America would be better off economically under socialism than we are under capitalism.

“The trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money” has been attributed to Margaret Thatcher. Lenin stated that the goal of socialism is communism and Karl Marx quipped that democracy is the road to socialism.

One would assume that those seeking the most powerful office in the world would be smart enough to have learned lessons from history, but it appears some refuse to see the writing on the wall. Socialism is slavery and the Democratic Party is leading their potential voters down the path to that very end – communism, dictatorship and slavery.

I stopped right here....

Thank you.

If you have ever watched Krugman in an interview, it is apparent that he is on anti-depression meds.

20 years ago, I would have thought this to be a crazy proposition.
Today.....not so much.

The battles at Lexington and Concord were fought over the British coming to confiscate cannon, powder and ball. We should be able to have the exact same arms the military has up to the point of Tactical Nukes. Hildebeast is mistaken the 2nd amendment has always been about keeping the politicians in Mordor on the Potomac from becoming tyrants.

Sure, what's the worst thing that could happen? I'm sure the idiots who shine lasers into cockpits would come to their senses given RPGs.

BAM!


New polling: FL--Clinton 43, Trump 42; OH--Trump 43, Clinton 39; PA--Clinton 43, Trump 42.

Oh my, how things have changed in a week... in the swing states Trump is doing better than McCain and Romney at this point in their campaigns.

Breaking news - PEOPLE HATE HILLARY! hahahahahaha Go Ohio!

Great news! Trump has just barely started on Hillary and her supposed lead has vanished.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

New poll out of military members (active duty) say they would vote for Trump over Hillary by a margin of 52%- 25%. 21% of servicemen say they won't vote. So even if Hillary gets that 21%, Trump still wins the military vote.

BENGHAZI MATTERS.

Hopefully they will count the absentee votes this time.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

Military absentee and overseas ballots aren't counted until it's a close election. My ex's ballot (for GWB) in 2000 was returned back to him in Korea because of the return address- that's when Gore wanted all those ballots without a physical address returned and marked "invalid ballot due to address." So yeah, we were victim to that. People still don't think it happened....but it did...and it DOES.

Well Tibs, that's a double sided argument. First of all, it's illegal for most of us ( not all, licensed dealers are permitted to own a lot of those items ) to own those items you mentioned thanks to our elected officials at Mordor on the Potomac. The concept is to stop the rest of our protection from being legislated out of our hands as well.

Owning nukes is a stretch of the imagination for sure. There are so many flaws that one could imagine that it's probably a good thing they are regulated. I couldn't even fathom a nuke in the hands of some of those left wing nut jobs like are systematically destroying one town after another in the name of some imagined social injustice or another.

But as for the rest of the list, don't believe for a minute that nobody owns shoulder fired rocket launchers and grenades just because you don't see them in 4th of July parades. I have heard horror stories on this site about weapons lost in storms and other unfortunate events. Now multiply those unfortunate events many times over across this Country and imagine the undiscovered potential "arms race " you envision.

please let me understand - it's 100% ok for the batshit crazy kill-everyone Iranians and North Koreans to have nukes, but it's morally and ethically wrong for ME to have them?

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

And she's 100% correct in making that statement.

She is not, and you're just obtuse. She's a fool, and if you believe what she is saying, well...if the shoe fits.

The 2nd Amendment was written for Americans to be able to bear arms. Mukets weren't defined - intentionally. At the time the 2nd Amendment was written, the most deadly weapon American citizens could face were muskets. The Red Coats had at their behest muskets. That's it. And the 2nd Amendment was written to ensure citizens had a means by which to stand up against their government.

Today, our Government has drones, and hellfires, and Apaches and F-16s and nukes. We are still entitled (frankly it's a right), as the Founding Fathers intended, to be able to stand up against our Government. The weapon was intentionally not defined.

You and the fat *** are off the reservation on this one.
