He campaigned on paying down our debt, not increasing it.

But yes, he has been stating as well that he’s for more infrastructure spending.

Now we know how he intends to reconcile the two, which is to drop the former and adopt the full, traditional, Democrat position.

...

His long range plan is to grow the economy and pay the debt that way, which is not a Democrat position. He is going to drastically cut regulations which is also not a Democrat position. I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Reagan followed a similar course, and while he never had a balanced budget, he put us on that course. Our country was put on a course of ruin many years ago. It isn’t going to be fixed overnight.

We’re already spending upwards of a trillion a year more than we take in. We don’t need or want the feds to take on a greater role in building stuff in this country, while adding to our debt and deficit.

Yes, his plans to reduce taxes, reduce regulation, and scrap Obamacare are all good. But this is just the usual, old, Democrat stuff that runs up our bills we’ll never be able to pay and never should have incurred in the first place.
