Schneed10 10-03-2018, 12:45 PM There are solutions that could help reduce the pain, but neither the republicans, democrats, or honestly - a majority of us citizens - want to talk about significantly reducing the spending side of the equation. Without that serious discussion (not demagogued by both sides) it doesn't matter who is president, or what policies are implemented, the debt will eventually consume the revenue taken in.
This shouldn't be a democrat/republican divide, but instead a baseline look at ALL the spending - defense, social security and government aid programs(domestic). The time for bandaids, like foreign aid reductions, and eliminating fraud/waste, etc, is long past. Not that we don't need to look at those areas too, but they don't make up enough of the budget to have any meaningful effect on the course of the debt issue.
Great post, fully agree.
Giantone 10-03-2018, 01:26 PM First like it or not I am a registered Republican.I'll take a shot
1) Healthcare for everyone . ACA you don't just dump it it,you fix what is wrong with it and you move on .
2)Social Security ,it's a flawed system but you don't fuck with it till you have a better system in place.
3) Welfare ,it's needed but again it's time to fix it .People should work for their money
4) We need to be the Big Player again Fuck Russia ,Fuck China ..this is a World economy but and American company should take care of it's American workers and if it won't, YES, the goverment should make them.
5) Our Military ,it is the best in the World ! We need to take better care of current and former Soldiers .
6) Education ,someone tell me why the first cuts made are always Education
7) Term limits ,including the SCOTUS
I'm sure with more time I can think of others things and this list is not in order of importance either ,just a random list to start.
Okay ,rip me apart!

punch it in 10-03-2018, 07:47 PM 1st response, invoke race, liberal strategy 101. You don't need any further responses now. Ths already proves any point you're trying to make. It's just a natural response.
I can’t even....so I wont. If you don’t see the hypocrisy by now you never will. Going back to the football threads. I feel like i have to shower again because i came in here,....
sdskinsfan2001 10-03-2018, 08:52 PM Yeah I shouldn't have responded to that comment at all. Really should only reply to ideas on the subject itself.
It's easy to personalize politics, and I don't want that to happen, because I like talking football with everyone on this site.
HTTR.
Giantone 10-05-2018, 08:06 AM It's mainly G1 here that blows that smoke. Matty, mooby and others all acknowledge the growth and economic success has been part of Trump's policies, albeit they are waiting for the other shoe to drop - deregulation destroying the planet, worker's dying in sweat shop conditions, companies greed bringing the next great depression, etc.
Smoke? So you do think trump came into the same economy as Obama did ,that is what you're saying ? Just ask the people at Carrier or Ford about Trumps policies ask all the people hurt by the tariffs ? LOL, your ignorance on deregulation and company greed is only matched by your arrogance .

No, Obama didn't walk in to a slow growth stable economy in his first term. We have agreed on that.
In his second term he did have a more stable economy to work with and gdp remained stagnant for the most part, with the NYT even going so far as to say that there was a minirecession in 2015.
As for tariffs, they were and are part of the trade negotiations, a tool to bring other countries to the discussion. short of China, I don't think the rest of the tariffs went into effect for more than a few months.
But - and this is why your comments are smoke and drivel. You repeat your few mantras over and over with no real intent to discuss, i believe just to derail honest conversations with others

BREAKING Unemployment rate falls to 49-year low (https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/05/economy/september-jobs-report/index.html)
Fake news, I heard it’s more like 30%, maybe 35%, maybe even 80% from what I’m hearing
