When Obama leaves office, the national debt will be 20 trillion $.
Which duopoly candidate has even mentioned the national debt?
Who among the Presidential candidates has a plan to balance the federal budget, stop adding to the national debt and begin paying down the national debt?
Well, as a matter of fact, John Kasich is the only candidate who made any mention of balancing the budget. Mostly he was bragging about how he single-handedly balanced the budget during the Clinton regime. Thing is, the Clinton budget never was really balanced and there never was a surplus. The government continued to borrow for the entire time, and you don't do that with a balanced budget or a surplus. The capital gains tax cut flooded the Treasury with so much money that the Congress couldn't spend it fast enough, but it was never balanced or in surplus. So Kasich was basically repeating a LIE.
Donald Trump DID warn us that reaching about $25 trillion in the national debt would pretty much put us where Greece is.
Now in case you are wondering how bad it could get, just imagine no more welfare checks. Imagine no more food stamps. Imagine taxes going through the roof.
Now we get to the bad stuff. The money in your bank accounts would no longer be safe. Those dollars would be looted by the federal government just like it happened in Greece.
Think hoarding paper money is a good idea? The ensuing inflation from the American dollar taking a nose dive will make those hundred dollar bills you have buried in the back yard worth less than toilet paper.
Politicians in Washington are unable to process this because they are sitting on top of the printing press.
Donald Trump is the only candidate in this race who has actually had to run a business and respond to a bottom line. He has had to face and fight REAL bankruptcy. He didn't have a printing press to churn out dollar bills to bail his ass out. He had to work the problem.
We know (and I think every liberal and conservative at this forum can agree on this) that BOTH parties have spent us into a $19 TRILLION national debt. Obama wanted it, and the Republicans gave it to him. He passed Obamacare with a Democrat controlled Congress. In 2010, the country gave the House to the Republicans solely so they could overturn OBAMACARE. It's still the law of the land. Then in 2014, the country gave the Senate to the Republicans solely so they would stop Obama. Check out the last budget deal. Paul Ryan couldn't wait to bend over and take it up the ass for the country.
It's going to take someone more powerful than all that.
My money's on Trump. He's smarter than all of them combined.
