    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Now? You think she didn't collect the cocks (sorry, I meant pictures of the cocks) of every male in America when she was Secretary of State? Someone hasn't been keeping up with Breitbart.

    Hardly possible to increase the debt faster than Obama.

    We all know liberals don't understand economics.

    That doesn't seem to be a reality-based statement.

    Of course it is possible. Increase spending, and implement tax cuts, and there you are.

    Perhaps increase spending and implement tax raises is even faster. That was the Obama plan, he holds the record.
    Tax cuts might be the only way to get some businesses back in action in this country. You know high cost and the highest taxes
    is not a magnet for business to locate here. Kind of like the cigarette tax, they don't expect revenue, they expect people to quit.
    Or the reverse when taxing business for providing health care to millions of retirees, they didn't expect revenue, they expected business to quit
    and the retirees would have to buy the high priced insurance that the government wants to give to those without.

    Tax is government speak for urging do x or not to do y.

    Funny how they know taxing cigarette will cause less cigarettes smoked, but they can't seem to get it the more tax cause less business to be done.
    But I guess, to be fair, Obama does know. I read a clip an article somewhere, that he knows higher taxes is not helpful but he views it as a matter of
    fairness to tax them more. I think that is a feeling thing, it feels fair! No logic there though when the business is gone to the lower tax country.
    But then, he may think that is also fair.

    Yes I do. Not saying it's a good idea (in fact I oppose electing Trump) but as of today it is still possible for the US to issue more debt, if it so chooses. Obviously.

    That's not how it works.

    1% of a billion is bigger than 2% of a million. Those would be tax rates, the example 1% or 2%. You get a billion type economy if people are working and paying taxes. You get a million type economy if you're hostile to business and pay people to not work. You can have up to 500x the government spending in that billion economy, too.

    It's more likely all that Obama debt is going to inflict a lot of pain. He's already done his best to make the economy that "million" type number. The fed is antsy to raise interest rates. That means more tax money to pay off debt interest instead of your favorite government programs. That Obama has taken away future progressives' allowance is the only solace in the whole mess.

    You really need to get one of those books on economic theory.

    Oh, ok. Guess your gibberish proves your point, whatever it was. Let's all have the billion type economy, and the US can't possibly issue any more debt. Problem solved.

    Grow the economy, stupid.

    Then you can lower taxes AND spend more.

    Maybe that economics for dummies book will help you understand economic theory. It seems to be gibberish to you, indeed.

    Not my job. If you want me to believe Trump is going to do that, you'll need to explain how, exactly. He certainly hasn't.

    Tax rate cuts do grow the economy. That's why your guy didn't raise them for several years after he took office, and only then he only raised them against the job creators.

    He's proposed tariffs on Chinese imports, which would be a boost for american goods at home.

    Economics for dummies. Read it.

    Whom are you quoting? :dunno:

    I've seen no credible, unbiased analysis of Trump's policies and their costs versus their benefits.
