Referring to his plan to eliminate 20 to 28 trillion of national debt in 8 years by cutting spending without touching entitlements, in the face of a massive depression. It is a rather absurd proposal which, if it stays in the news, he’ll explain away he’ll explain away by “explaining” he meant the budget deficit. Which I doubt he do without a recession or without cutting entitlements.

“Referring to his plan to eliminate 20 to 28 trillion of national debt in 8 years by cutting spending without touching entitlements, in the face of a massive depression.”

Beg pardon? Are you saying we are in a depression?

“Also, by accepted definitions of depression, we aren’t in one, in fact haven’t been in almost 80 years.”

We are fed almost nothing but fraudulent figures. How is unemployment at 5% when almost a third of Americans are out of work?

If we had bread lines instead of those foodstamp cards, it would be easier to see how bad things are.

The middle class has been destroyed.

Dern, you nearly got me. Pretty slick.

AFAIK, Trump didn’t say he was going to “eliminate 20 to 28 trillion of national debt in 8 years by cutting spending without touching entitlements.”

I believe that to be a falsehood.

Trump did say he was going to eliminate $17 trillion of debt by selling government assets.

Sounds good to me.
