“As to looking to the House and Senate, even if Donald Trump has an epiphany and wants to cut spending, do we really have any hope that Mitch McConnell will go along? He already has scheduled votes on the budget post election in the lame-duck time so that he can increase spending.”

Then vote for Hillary Clinton. I’m sure she’ll do the job much better.

Why would you recommend that anybody vote for Hillary Clinton, especially to save money?

I'm curious. How do you turn a legitimate question about Mitch McConnell's motivations into a perceived knock on Trump?

Can you cite a statement by Trump that even suggests he has any interest whatsoever in reducing spending? Or, for that matter, government. I certainly don't recall any.

And whyever would you believe that one who favored such actions would ever vote for Hillary?

All of which is to say that I found your response to #43 quite confusing.
