LOL, please.

Trump is talking about spending massive amounts of money on infrastructure - bridges, roads, etc. He proposes what is, in effect, a new stimulus package (something conservatives derided when Obama did it). Trump also proposes building up the military which is good, but at the same time doesn’t want to touch entitlements at all which is the heart of the debt problem.

Trump is no deficit hawk, he just knows the conservative base hates this budget so he is piling on for political purposes.

I think I will stick with Cruz who has done more to fight these obscene spending bills than anyone else in the race. Cruz has shown he isn’t afraid to shut the government down in order to preserve Congress’s leverage over the purse strings whereas Trump has a laundry list of things he wants to spend more on.

Spending in the right proportions backed up and strengthened with people having jobs and paying taxes takes people off the dole. Get the monkey off the back of small business in this country and create a favorable climate for Americans to make up the work force instead of cheap illegals and the money will be there to create more jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure.
Cruz knows about as much of how to run a country economically as a beginner. Has he ever had to make a payroll? Has he ever put his own money on the line backed by his own judgement? Has he ever had to get something done ON TIME and within the budget? That’s just for starters. We can’t afford the time to teach him. Trump already has the knowledge, the skill set, and he knows the people who can help straighten out the mess on a first name basis. Trump has the knowhow and that’s all that matters.
