Vooch, we’ve had a rising deficit for how many decades now?

Did you think it would stop the moment Trump was sworn in?

You know better than that. The tax cuts and resulting economic blossom need to take effect first.

Our deficits start going down as the economy picks up and tax receipts nearly double.

These stupid shut-downs do none of us any good, and here Rand is simply helping the Democrats. He’s not doing us any favors here.

No, Rand can go pound sand.

Trump is taking the right measures. Patience.

During the shutdown - The White House controls which agencies stay open. DJT effectively controls the budget starting last night.

It’s beautiful. DJT will cut costs by 15% and run cash flow positive.

More power to him if he can pull it off, but I don’t think that is possible.

I’ll remember you said it first.

Seems to me there won’t really be any savings here. Everyone gets paid anyway, following the restart.

The things that cost the most, won’t be affected anyway.

Trump has been planning this since day 1. That’s why he has people like Carl Icahn on board.

They ain’t gonna’ get their back pay, because their agencies are going to be shut down permanently.

Trump is going to use this to balance the budget. Like fer real

IMO, any agency shutdown would have been planned without a shutdown.

DJT can now close agencies ‘temporarily’. He doesn’t need Congress since Friday midnight.

big difference

rand paul is one of the few true conservatives in a sea of RINOs

Libertarianism shares some goals with Conservatism but is definitely not conservatism. Like saying I am pro life but feel it is a woman right to kill her baby.
