I don’t recall the out of control deficit to be one of the present administration’s election talking points but give him some time...after he makes good on all his other promises, which he seems to be doing, perhaps he’ll tackle it. And you’re right...no side is better than the other concerning making it a priority.

Trump said he would pay it off in 8 years. One thing Trump is really good at is spinning data. I remember how he blasted Obama's 5% unemployment numbers saying they were "fake" and were really double that and then, one year later, using the numbers he previously claimed as fake. Of course, Americans fall for it, so...

Nobody “falls for” anything. I believe the reports I see from respected and truthful sources...not just Fox News. Unemployment numbers are at an all time low as evidenced by all the jobs available and from what the “experts” in financial fields report. People who hate Trump get to ride the wave of prosperity as well. Obama will go down as the worst pres. in history for attempting to turn the USA into another member of the EU with his “global” designs.

Show me the same source reporting on unemployment last year and this--include the history graph.

So the money from the new NAFTA deal that should be going to pay down the deficit will now go to pay for a wall that Mexico should be directly paying for not indirectly, I get it?
I think everyone can agree that a new NAFTA deal was long overdue and I will give him all the credit for getting that new deal done but I don't want a dime of my hard earned tax money to go for paying for a wall, directly or indirectly.

I’d rather contribute to secure borders than planned parenthood...

The payments began "indirectly" two years ago, with US companies negotiating deals to "stay-put" in the USA.

As much as "The Greatest Generation"?


A notable percentage of "Millennials" are foreigners.


"Millennial" Seth Rich was born in the US, wore the US flag as clothing, noted a major shift of allegiance within his party—and may have loved this country.

"Millennial" Jackson A. Kosko was arrested in DC yesterday on seven charges including "witness tampering".

(There's a NH connection to Maggie Hassan).

He pledged to eliminated the $18 trillion dollar debt in 8 years - as well as to eliminate the $400 billion annual deficits Obama ran up. So far he has increased the national debt by $1 trillion dollars.
