That is exactly right. We have a corrupt government bought off by the Krotch Bros and other globlaist Free Traitors™ like you. The people want it. We are not stupid as you globalist think we are.
Again you coward, if a asked a Japanese, EU, South Korean, Chinese or a Vietnamese economists on the value of protectionist tariffs would they say they are a good thing or bad thing?
It does when you realize that their only loyalty is to themselves and their only ambition is to get reelected.
Protectionism is very popular ( besides being a common sense approach to trade) and one of the two parties is going to latch on to it. If the Democrats do then that will be the end of the Republican brand and good riddance.
“Try as we might, we can’t get Congress to go on a spending diet.”
Even before President Trump was elected, I had heard that his strategic analysis was that straightening out the budget would have to be a second term effort, because of two main reasons.
1. Other major priorities were more time critical (rebuilding the Military, addressing China’s threat and controlling immigration).
2. Fixing the structural deficit is painful to enough people, as to make re-election unlikely - thereby sabotaging other critical efforts to save the Nation from falling.

Maybe you should trademark that one too. Creative.

The repreentatives have delivered the message. We have other fish to fry and can not worry about the debt at present.
There has long been discussion (and planning) to address structural debt, in the second term.
The President re-iterated that intention, after the budget deal.
Winner winner chicken dinner. I hope everyone finally gets it. And I hope everyone here will stop complaining about Obama running up a trillion a year...when we have a "GOP" president and Senate doing the exact same thing. I wish people would just stop making excuses for our trillion $ deficit so they can still crow about Obama's. The one thing I hate more than anything else is hypocrisy.
And your post is spot on. We were supposed to be working our way - NOT ONLY out of the year to year debt but also the total deficit. Nobody here wants to blame Trump...but guess what - he's got a veto pen and he promised he wasn't going to be signing another one of these bills (that was just March (?) of 2018. But then again, only the really naive should have thought that was possible.
This economy isn't going to grow like this for much longer. I give it less than a year to 18 months. Then our 1 trillion will be 2 (at least). Plus - because we are manipulating FED rates - we don't have a lot of wiggle room to soften the blow. Yeah - sounds like a good deal now but I don't think it will sound all that great when the excrement hits the rotator.

And if you believe that is going to happen I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to talk to you about.
