Reagan quadrupled the national debt in just 8 years.

And turned the world's largest creditor nation into the world's largest debtor nation in the same period.

You have that propaganda talking point memorized to a knee-jerk reaction yet you remained silent as Obama increased the debt far more than Reagan or anyone else

The best any of you can do when that is pointed out is to reduce yourselves to childish trolls and derail the thread

There is no true North in leftist la-la land. Nothing truly matters to them, in their cartoon fantasyland worlds - except regurgitating the same typical hollow, meaningless, empty partisan rhetoric talking points as if they really believe in them

The fact that they have, tax reform, and healthcare, and stop the shutdown before saturday and trumps 100days.

I dont see one of the tree being done.
Maclvaby giving dems an ultimatum of one dollar for the wall per 1 dollar for healthcare, he is saying he hopes the dems wont "obstruct"
He needs his wall badly but Trump seems to think that threats will work.
I havent got the time today, to look for the info I read over the weekend, but I will be back later.

Lucy...where (and when) did the whole "100 days" thing emanate from?

FDR started it, and claimed a bunch of successes that were in the works already and just happened to happen in that early time frame. Presidents since have picked up on the benchmark.

Why it matters now is that Trump himself talked it up so big, and now can't deliver.

Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs in his first 100, so it stood out.

However, he learned from it. So far, Trump isn't learning. Except some history lessons from Merkel and Xi.

I hope that changes. Things were bad enough when he took office.

Trump instructed advisers last week that he wants the corporate tax rate to be lowered from 35 percent to 15 percent, a senior White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. This is the same rate that Trump pursued during his 2016 campaign, but officials had not signaled since the election whether he would stick to the pledge.

By doing so — but not committing to measures that would offset the revenue loss — Trump is making clear he is putting a priority on cutting taxes over the national debt. It also potentially creates a tension point with House Republicans, who have spent years advancing a vision for tax restructuring of their own.

The White House decision comes at a crucial time. White House officials plan to unveil the broad principles of their tax plan Wednesday, though details of what would be in the release remained fluid Monday, another White House official said.

Well...there ya have it.

why, do you think that all of a sudden its like his taxes and he can do what he likes without complaint?

Honey...he's been complaining for the last 2+ years. (Are you aware of something I'm not?).

His own words come back to step on his dick

(That wasn't even remotely English however, we'll assume for this discussion that it was....and...well...I'm not actually convinced he has one...(a dick...see previous)....do you know something the rest of us don't?).

you might like it.

Look, if it all magically works out, fantastic.

But going by history, economics, data, and his track record as a simplistic, fact-deprived, reactionary short-term thinker . . .

Not looking good. This is and has been his chance. It's also my chance and everyone else's chance to stand up and say "no."

That's how this gig works.

You don't get a say in how I run my business. But if I run to be your representative, and win, suddenly you absolutely have a say, and I can't just do whatever I want.

Think about this...you walk in to a new company (maybe you're even a really amazing CEO...ya know...like me)...as the now "new" CEO (fresh meat...new guy...first day) of a private company...you can choose anyone you want to stand beside you and implement your edicts.

(You don't have to wade through Congress to hire staff).

And...you have a FUCKED up piece of FUCKED up shit....FUCKED UP company (remind you of any country we may have recently been discussing?)...that is just FUCKED THE FUCK UP....like....SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP....beyond...every definable MEASURE of FUCKED UP.....

(Jesssus fucking H...which part of that last sentence do I BOLD or highlight????)

Every one of us screams at our TV's every night..."Do you ASSHOLES have a fucking CLUE???"

I'm trying to get 15,812 sf of carpets installed in one of my office buildings.

In 2013...it would have been a phone call....and 2 weeks...3 max.

I've dealt with SEVEN vendors (I'm in the Seattle market) over the last 90 days...SIX promised me they'd deliver...I hired one.

That guy kept on moving up the dates (for whatever reason).

And all my tenants are screaming at me "when are you going to be DONE????"

I just last week offered a guy a $15,000.00 premium...to get the job done in the next 2 weeks.

He said "no prob".

He's now delayed (supplier can't deliver...read the papers...it's Seattle).

EVERYONE has an opinion.

Very few understand all the facts.

(I sure as fuck don't...although nearly everyone else seems to {even without my...or even...any data}).

In the interim...I'm trying to get a job done and....

I'm a private contractor/owner....(I don't need Congress to get my staff approved).

I'm willing to give this guy...rhetorical...I meant the Prez...(and the next) a chance to do their job.

Why?

(Because I actually KNOW what it takes to do the job...not his...just mine which...everyone at my building {without of course...the facts} seems to know better than me which then allows me a small understanding of a vastly larger job: The Prez's).

(Unlike all the people screaming at their TV's...."why the FUCK" it ain't getting done).

One would think that a hot shit ceo like yourself would simply have picked the carpet installer who has a track record of producing on time results....That is if having the carpet installed on time was a primary consideration.
It has been said that premium oats are expensive but second oats can be had for a discount.
