That Trump seems fine with a massive increase in spending and not a dime for the Wall. Why would that bother me?

[Brilliant]

The good thing is that if they’d waited until next year to pass next years it would be even higher.

Right now I feel like a wildebeest that’s being eaten alive by hyenas. Too damned exhausted to care.

Modest inflation has a way of turning into out of control hyperinflation.

History is very clear.

I know there are some, like Rush, who are well prepared to weather virtually any economic or political storm that engulfs the lower 48.

But the fact is the majority of ‘average Joe’s’ will not see it coming and will be ill prepared to deal the the fallout.

Making light of this eventuality or ignoring it is cruel to the people.

Why didn’t Trump anticipate that the MSM would be attacking the president and the GOP with deficit estimates that are not based on dynamic scoring?

Before the tax cut was even offered, Trump and his foot soldiers should have been everywhere presenting a deficit estimate that WAS based on dynamic scoring, and that showed the deficit shrinking and tax revenues increasing.

Politically, that is an inexcusable error.

Does this deal bother me? Not at all! There is an inevitability in politics. Spending and the debt will always go up, up, UP.

Given the current make up of Congress, not really. Increased military spending and infrastructure spending over two years covers two of his campaign promises.

It's a lot better than we would have if one of the RINOs or (shudder) Hillary had won.
