IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPIDS!

I really don't care who the President is or how many chickens he promises to put in how many pots or how many rabbits he can pull out of how many hats or even if his new invisible clothes are real.. I wont even mention the current Presidents myriad shortcomings.. Just remember folks.. Its all smoke and mirrors and there is no point pretending otherwise.. America is currently over 21 TRILLION dollars in debt to a bunch of people who don't like you and don't trust you.. And its getting worse every day and predicted to double in around 20 years.. So buckle your seatbelts everyone.. The ride is going to get rough and the only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is who gets the Last Supper and a seat in the lifeboats.

@beckyromero [quote]Congress is the one that PASSES the budget. Don't let them off the hook and blame it all on the person in the White House.[/quote]

You will see that Horace is doing that, but the budget facts are clear to everyone else. I simply posted the numbers, as Horace seemed confused, or as usual, he has no clue.

@HoraceGreenley Really the only recent president to not fuck up on the debt front is Clinton. Obama at least has the excuse of having been forced to stimulate the economy out of a major recession. Why we're piling on the debt in the current economic climate I just don't understand. This is the time to pay it down.

I cant argue with a word of that. Except to add that both sides of the house were bought long ago by the same big business and special interest groups and are equally morally bankrupt.@beckyromero

@whowasthatmaskedman partition it and give each piece to a country that suffered from its hostile actions. Like a state for each victim country..

Let's piss them off even more and stop ALL foreign aid

This is why its called "aid". The China "one belt, one road", development initiative is modelled on the less formal US foreign aid strategy. It builds infrastructure projects for poor nations in return for trade or defence cooperation agreements .. Needless to say, the Americans hate it. But it is gaining ground. Largely because the Chinese program seems to deliver more services to more people@MarineBob

@MarineBob That'll do jack crap. Foreign aid is about 0.49% of the budget.
