We all know that a default was inevitable on the debt. There is no way to pay back all obligations within severs lifetimes.
Any possibility that Trump was chosen because of his outsider status to win? He would take the blame for the default and retire after a term, then the uni-party could continue with business as usual.
To answer your question; they’re not that smart.
That would be the most rational response to my thought on this. Thank you. :)
Anything is possible. My “gut” says not. Whatever I think about Trump, nasty deviance is not part of it. It’s funny, I never expected it, but I trust him when he says he wants good things for Americans. Can he do it? I don’t know. But I no longer believe that Republicans, even Rush, want good things for Anericans. So what I believe about Trump is significant.
I’m a strong Trump fan from the moment he said we need to make America great and also seal our borders. Or OK maybe I’m a lemming too and wishful thinker.
That said I’m also cynical about the media and politics. Nothing would surprise me. I’m not convinced that major things ever happen by coincidence or as stated by the Powers That Be. Things are led to happen so we can be used in the process.
For the most part we are sheep and lemmings that are led around by the elites. I’m hoping Trump has a big enough ego to understand that he can not fool us if he tries to pull the wool. I’m hoping he wants to be a very well regarded POTUS. I am a truther because I believe in truth first, not politics or propaganda.
How exactly did Trump manage to get his millions of supporters, of all races and party affiliations, to go along with this far fetched conspiracy?
I don’t think it would be that hard. The politicians can read the mood as well as anybody and they know how to play the game.
My country had an MP named Sheila Copps. She once admitted that politics is all about playing games with the electors mood and the winners just happen to know how to play it best.
I don’t think so.
But I do think that this is exactly how Ted Cruz and Joni Ernst got themselves elected in their individual states.
They both ran against the establishment, thus taking advantage of the sentiment of the electorate, but then neither of them did much or even anything in terms of their voting records to separate themselves from the establishment.
Marco Rubio also used this same technique.
And pray tell who chose Trump for this elaborate subterfuge and then talked him into self funding it? Yeh that’s the ticket. LOL!
Soros loaned Trump a lot of money years ago, when Trump could not borrow any more to finance his business. You might want to enquire whether Trump paid that loan back or was forgiven.
What country is that?
She was an MP for Mussissauga, Ontario. She was defeated by the Harper steam roller.
Let's see: Ignoring other obligations, the National Debt is about $19.1 trillion. The government took in $3.25 trillion last year and spent $3.69 trillion. If they raised taxes by 12% and dropped expenditures by 12%, we could pay off the debt in about 50 years.
You're right. that will never happen.
But if we raised taxes by 6% and dropped expenditures by 6%, we could eliminate the deficit, so that the debt would stop growing. Then if inflation in the next 50 years is the same as the last 50, the $19.1 trillion will turn into the current equivalent of $2.5 trillion: i.e. we will inflate away 87% of it.
And the unpaid pension obligations?
I hear ya Laz, but you got people around here believing Cruz’s dad helped Oswald kill Kennedy so I guess anything is possible.
Yes, a great number of Trump supporters are conspiring to have him elected over the opposition of the elite politicians, MSM, globalists, crony capitalists etc.
-——Seriously. There is a fortune to be made these days. Some of the stupidest ideas out there are floating around.-——
I’m not the smartest guy in the room, but I have a lot of common sense ( age and experience) and understand how the real world works....
I don’t think I have seen more silly and nonsensical posts ever in the 16 years I have been hanging around here...
Many are Trump related to the powers he supposely prossesses to do all sorts of almost magically things....
I’m not knocking the guy as he is highly successful, but the Trump projection had gotten kind of over the top...
Ranging from the ability to firie German chancellor Merkel to building the southern wall with his personal wealth...
<< “ ..... which takes the heat off the politicians.” >>
Nope.
We all know very keenly exactly who, what, when and where, any default comes from. Post Reagan governance, Public Education (or total lack of) and Academia.
It is not from TRUMP.
And *no one* would protect him during such an occurrence.
Tin Foil - 101.
So the very people who were trying to stop Trump from even being the nominee are actually planning to blame him for the debt crash coming?
Devious... Completely devious / S
It can be managed I think. The economic crash can be countered by the removal of the boot heel of regulations and get the economy started again. It’s never been a mystery how to get the economy moving. The Uniparty just has had no interest in doing it.
