Trump: “I think I could do it fairly quickly, because of the fact the numbers…”
Woodward: “What’s fairly quickly?”
Notice the DC attack media won't even let Trump finish the first sentence of his answer.
Good for Trump. I’ll take his hyperbole over respectable capitulation to the status quo.
You have to start with a goal, and as far as I know, he’s the only one even talking about the debt.
Get back to me when Trump agrees to eliminate every unconstitutional agency and program, including the socialist “entitlement” programs of the New Deal and the Great Society, and the Fed, and the IRS.
Until then, his claims are laughable.
Trump can sure do a better job than any other candidate because the Establishment Uniparty will do NOTHING BUT SPEND SPEND SPEND.
You can count on that.
Sorry, but stopping unconstitutional government spending and cutting the size of government CAN be done quickly and is certainly not nonsense except to those who love our $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional government.
I’ll tell you how you eliminate and payoff the debt. Eliminate the Federal Reserve, they own most of the debt anyway, and they charge us to print our own money. F them and honor our debt to China Japan and others but not to other Central Banks.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER of DONALD TRUMP to GET 'ER DUN.
Trade deficit <> Government Spending deficit. Two completely different things. Fixing the trade deficit will have only a modest impact, if any, on the government spending deficit.
This is amzing. Trump got the WaPo to mention the debt for the first time since 2008.
That would make America great again.
When a normal politician comes into office and discovers the waste fraud and abuse their first instinct is to take their cut.
I’ve no doubt when Trump gets in, people are going to jail. Then, he’ll go after the Foreign aide packages including lopsided funding for NATO and the United Nations. But not before thrashing out deals with countries we protect on renegotiating our debt.
He will reduce military expenditure while actually increasing military expenditure upon our own military.
Stop thinking like a politician and think like a business man. Stop paying for things that either we don’t need or no longer operable.
Obama: “Generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.”
Really?
We supposedly erased the deficits of the 90’s in just 8 years....
Which Bush and an arrogant republican Congress muffed up...
I wonder how Trump will accomplish this with Chuckie Schemer as Senate Majority leader...?
It’s almost a given the GOP will control of the Senate or at least be in a tie...
$19 trillion and counting went where? 19,000,000,000,000
Is it virtual debt to cover the bank losses with those derivatives they keep using then the bet is made again and virtual money moved around to cover the bets?
You take $19 trillion and divide it by a 100 million adults and we should all have about 190,000 thousand apiece.
Visual on 1 trillion.

It is possible.
But it would hurt almost as much as the ultimate result of NOT doing it is going to hurt.
Every time they ‘kick the can down the road’ as they have been doing for the last 30 years, they make the inevitable collapse worse.
Trump, at least SAYS that he wants to quit kicking that can down the road, unlike every other damn politician currently in office or running for office.
It’s too late to fix it without incredible pain and suffering, but like the climber who got his arm stuck, and had to cut it off with a pocket knife to survive, at least he acted.
