Tackling the debt in a long-term sustainable way was politically feasible if Al Gore had been allowed to serve as President (when the debt was $5.6 trillion), today it would be political suicide. You’d have to slash a lot of spending, especially on the military and intelligence, possibly on entitlements as well - and

If you just paid out that same amount ($170 billion annually) in cash to every adult American (250 million people), those $680 a year would do a lot more to stimulate the American economy than giving them to the Forbes 400, who already increased their wealth by 18% in the last year even before this extra offer of free

People think running a country is like running their household.

The main reason why the US isn’t Greece right now is because it is 20 times as large - and simply far too big to fail for the international banking system to squeeze it like they did Greece. There’s also no EU taxpayer to bail out the private government bond holders, like there was with Greece, where Merkel

The Republican tax proposal isn’t bad because it explodes the deficit or because of some hypothetical debt burden being given to your phantom grandchildren—or even because some middle class families will pay more in taxes.

True, but he’d travel in style, courtesy of his Russian boss - in an Antonov.

Yeah, that’s what the neighbors of serial killers always say, too. “But he was so nice”. Until he wasn’t.

Transparently disgusting works.

Putin probably bought him that watch three sizes too small to remind him who’s his daddy.

If he walked instead of getting carted everywhere, he’d actually burn some precious KFC-induced calories. Can’t have that, can we? The sooner he has a heart attack, the better for all of us.

That’s most likely for the best!

He’s getting so fat, he’ll soon need a special pleasure barge built for him, because he won’t fit through the Air Force One’s door anymore.

What he means is “let others do the fighting”, just like the Nazi elite did, as they got drunk and high in the Fuehrerbunker every day, while ordinary citizens were bombed to death every night.

It’s why O’Reilly paid one woman $32 million to buy her silence, because she was “lying”.

This should be simple for Republicans, shouldn’t it?
