He can tell the Fed it’s our money and we owe you nothing for creating debt out of thin air.
Didn’t work well for JFK though...
I hope Trump understands this.
I’ve been saying the same thing since 2008.
Great post. I think about this issue every single day.
I'm amazed that it hasn't happened yet.
Investment banks then had the ability to hold the US economy hostage without fear of going bankrupt.
God only knows what Hillary Clinton has for marching orders.
Yeah, I’m an expert, too! Buy my book!
If no one has coimed the term “taxslave”, I would like to coin it here. That’s all we are to the DC establishment
The GOPe doesn’t care but it has nothing to do with anything so complicated. The only significant policy difference between the nevertrumps and Trump is open borders, amnesty and trade. The Chamber types want amnesty more than anything else. The elected officials are fine with Hillary because they can use her to scare people into keeping Congress Republican. If Trump wins they aren’t in charge anymore, they don’t get amnesty, and people might just decide a Democrat congress wouldn’t be so bad and vote them out.
Hillary represents the status quo, and they like the status quo.
I remember the so called pundits here at FR telling us over and over that a second term of O would be a good thing because after eight years of his disastrous policies people would be ready for a ‘true conservative’.
Seems to me they were dead wrong
I’ve also been one to dispense with the “Great Recession” B.S. in favor of calling the economic times what they are — a full-blown Depression. Another symptom of a Depression is Hillary & friends who are scavenging the economy like vultures picking over a carcass. We are a Banana-Republic folks — see what’s going on in Venezuala & Greece?
Reagan did that and the good times began in his second term and extended for an, I believe, unprecedented length of time right up to the beginning of the present unpleasantness.
There were a couple of recessions but the damage was more announced then felt. If Trump can eviscerate the social programs and abolish the Agencies then we are on the road back and it will be a smooth and fast ride up the hill. Anything less and there will be a small rise followed by a continuing subsidence. If Trump has the vision and the determination to carry through he will precipitate something like an urban civil war. He has to ride it through and double down. The violence will subside or be squashed and, without the Agencies and with the amendments proposed for an Article 5 Convention, the Republic might be resurrected.
Agree 100%. The GOPe jagoffs simply want the status quo.
