(New York, NY) December 17, 2015

If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.

The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?

The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again." atDonald J. Trump

Trump is leading.

The other ones ain’t.

Especially Jeb Bush.

This is a chaos budget, Mr. Bush, from a chaos congress, and this is going to be a chaos country if cheese eating surrender monkey Republicans, like yourself, continue this path.

Anyone who can be suckered by McConnell is a little too trusting and naive to be running for president at this time.

So maybe Lil Donnie shouldn't Call Ted Cruz a maniac for opposing him.

I think the only reason that gas is so cheap right now is obuma doesn't want to give the Social Security COLA raise, they determine that on the price of gas...another dirty obuma trick for the elderly, as long as he has his way with everything, he will keep going...

I hope people who voted for obuma and re elected some of these Representatives and Senators are proud of the mess they have made...it's their children and grandchildren that are going to be suffering right along with the rest of us...

#Way.To.Go.Trump!!! It's time for Trump to come out on government issues such as this to show what type of Presidential material he will be...

Really ? He has admitted directly that he supports them for wind farms, and presumably other forms of renewables.

“relied on tax breaks and federal funding to build his real estate empire...”

OK, so he is an excellent businessman. Any negatives?

Why would Trump listen to someone who called him Donald McCain?

Which is exposed here:

Cruz would not have had to act “a little like a maniac” if he hadn’t been suckered by McConnell in the first place.

"The House passed it last night."

They just released the consolidated package/deal yesterday.

I can't find any reference to it being passed, nor a vote having been held.

Ethanol? Sure that’s not just pandering for the Iowa vote?

Nope. I watched the speech. A greeny in the audience asked him if he supported ethanol and Trump said yes and then said I support all forms of energy including drilling our own oil. The word subsidy did not come out of his mouth.

Hopefully, a lot of moving companies have been called for 2016 and a lot of moving boxes ordered for DC. Ryan should be first on the list, ya think?

Why is it so difficult to understand that EVERY professional politician is in the pockets of his/her rich donors?

Every one of them! No exception.
For 2016 we have a very unusual candidate in the race.
He is self funded Billionaire.
He is allowed to act in the interest of people, and not
his rich donors because he has NONE!

If you wish to promote the cheap labor express of more
legal immigrants, more H1-B visa’s, path to legal status for illegals, more refugees admitted with welfare benefits, then go ahead and vote for one of the professional politicians. It is masochistic!
