“Hillary tried running a WH travel office and a health care study group.”

Hillary didn’t run the WH travel office. She just wanted to give a sweetheart deal to some Arkansas cronies and the since the incumbents in the office were career civil service instead of political employees she couldn’t just fire them. She had to accuse them of embezzlement and other crimes to get them out of the way.

At the criminal trial of the guy who ran the travel office, the jury deliberated for 20 minutes before acquitting him. The jurors also said that the wrong person was on trial.

Another crime by Hillary Clinton ignored by the MSM.

Who thought up that scheme to give the highest in polls the most time? I fumed through the entire farce!

“And when Hillary or Obama trounces that ticket because they are literally a pair of unkowns...who’s fault will it be.

Assuming they some how pull out a miracle and actually WIN the nomination?”

Known and inexperienced, vs unknown and experienced. I think voters today are sick of who has become well known from either party. Unknowns might have a better chance in this election because they are unknown.

Hillary and Obama are both known to have no experience. Voters will not have a real reason to vote for them in the general election. The key here is to give voters a reason to vote for the Republican, and that will not happen if voters think the Republican is too much like those who have run on the GOP side in the recent past.

“looks like Hunter forgot to take economics 101 in college”

Hum. Decrease taxes on our exports and we will probably sell more (supply and demand), any added sales will result in more manufacturing of the same goods, which will lead to more tax dollars incoming into the Treasury, which will help offset the national debt. Who forgot to take economics 101 in college?

he’s talking about increasing taxes on imports.
Duncan Hunter is also...let’s put it gently... not exactly the best when it comes to pork spending.
He’s just not a strong fiscal conservative.
Look at this

You can also see how bad Hillary would be on spending

A good Hillary History Lesson. We’ll need to brush up soon enough.

“he’s talking about increasing taxes on imports.”

I have been listening to what Hunter has been saying. He is saying that our trade policy should match whoever we trade with. If they choose to not tax our exports, we will not tax their imports. If they choose to tax our exports, we will tax their imports also.

I heard the same thing you did in the debate the other evening, but I have heard much more from him than just that debate, and if you would have listened to all he said with that response you would have heard that he was using it as an example, not as the only option.

I forgot to mention something regarding your “economics 101” reply, if taxes go up on imports that is also a way to pay down the national debt.

Either way you slice it, more money comes into the treasury under Hunter’s plan. I think he knows his economics.

but if we tax their imports that will just increase the cost of business and living for all Americans.

“but if we tax their imports that will just increase the cost of business and living for all Americans.”

And you are still ignoring the option. The option is for trade agreements to have no taxes for either country.

You are stuck on the idea that we would increase taxes to other countries, but that would only happen if they refused to allow us to trade free of taxes. It would be in their best interests to drop taxes on both sides of the equation, to get to that point, first we have to get the idea accross to them that we will not trade on an uneven playing field that gives them an advantage. When they see they can not tax our products (which could make a huge impact to the good for our economy) without us taxing their products, they are much more likely to drop taxes on both sides.

Get it?

that’s what we try to do with trade agreements but it is still better for us to have low taxes even if the other side does not reciprocate. They are only hurting themselves when they tax their imports

The more I hear about Duncan Hunter, the more I’m starting to like him and his conservative positions.....

No wonder Fox News & Guiliani hate him so much....

Candidates to Sell Conservative Credentials at Republican Debate

Rumor has it that Rudy will try to buy some of those credentials at a discount as he hasn't had any in years.

No, it does not hurt them, it hurts us. That is a lot of money flowing into another country that could be invested back in the businesses doing the trading. Also, if we are trying to get a level playing field, why is it that none of our trade treaties give us any advantage. Every trade treaty gives the other country an advantage over us. We have NOT been trying to get a level playing field, we have been giving away the store, and we have been doing it for years. It has to stop.
