All I know is my retired life was a lot better under Trump than under dementia Joe.

No more voting, I don’t care who is on the ballot.

You didn't think this thru.

Who would you want as commander in chief and his staff when you get your wish and decide to overthrow the gov't?

The voters love deficit spending. How would the U.S. have a consumer economy without deficit spending? Government budget deficit, Trade deficit, and personal finance deficit.

You two never experienced anything else in your life but for a year at best. How do you know what would be best?

I have never experienced personal finance deficit.

Who was talking personal?

And if we were, you still don't know both sides.

If this administration has done anything, it’s demonstrated whomever holds the CIC title is irrelevant. My wish is pointed at 600+ with maybe a couple exceptions.

Looks like I was about 20 years old when the trade balance started going south,

I ain't playing chase the goal post with you but will say this.

The couple years we didn't run a deficit and the first two years of Trump where it was below the normal trillion a year @ around 700bil. republicans held congress and the purse strings.

I don't know what is the best system as long as it follows a sound money principle.

I do no that what we currently use for a monetary system is the worst. It's failed every time it's been tried.



A trade imbalance is a requirement for a reserve currency that is debt backed.

The monetary system wasn't as great under Trump as most would believe.

If the FED wouldn't have started QE in September of 2019 the whole system probably would have collapsed. Educate yourself on why the FED had to resume QE and on what is happening with the reverse repo market today.

Technically we ran a deficit in those two years, the only difference is the USG only needed to borrow money from the social security trust fund.

If this were true, I'd have to consider myself a RINO. Trump was pretty much what we needed at the time, and accomplished more than what I thought was humanly possible.

But, now he is probably more hated that Witch Hilda. We need to move on, and we can all thank Trump for paving the way.

Bingo. This whole post has just been rendered pointless for further discussion except for ignorant posters (not stupid, just ignorant of the facts) by Marty's short statement.
I could elaborate, but he nailed it so hard, I would be wasting everyone's time and mine.

The system is rigged. Has been for a long time. Just asking cause I don't follow Desantis. Has he ever mentioned election reform or stopping child trafficking?

Mark Robinson is not in the political game for mine and your best interests. I would not be interested in seeing him advance any further in politics

The republicans that brought the the budget back to balance in the 90's do not exist, Neither do those voters. By the way those were good economic times, not paid for with massive deficits and/or money printing.

P.S. back in the 90's the government could afford to pay interest on the national debt. The FED did not lend money for nothing. An individual got paid interest well above inflation for his/her savings.

Those werent good economic times for trappers.

Don Jr. is a big time hunter, smart, politically savvy, and much more likeable than his dad (not that I care much about that).
