    What do you think will create jobs? More government spending?

    I hope Trump follows through on his massive infrastructure plan. I'm pissed off that there has been no mention of this, I know he is trying to get this other stuff through first, but, that is one of the campaign promises I hope he keeps.

    I didn't support Obama's drone program. There are also many corporate subsidies I would like discontinued. I also support restructuring the tax program. I just don't want it slanted to the one percent. I'd like to see tax advantages for small businesses for 7 years. There are so many issues we could work on, but politics keep us divided.

    The debt triple under Obama. Democrats didn't care. They complained Republicans blocked him from spending more.

    Republicans don't care about debt either unless it's a democrat doing it

    It didn't triple, it almost doubled. And trump was wrong when he blamed it all on Obama.

    Trumps irrelevant. The issue is partisans don't care when their side runs up the debt

    Let's not forget: Trump wasn't just going to reduce the debt.

    He was going to eliminate it completely. And, of course..."fairly quickly."

    I would caution everyone about all spending as I have for the last forty years.......when did you start being concerned about deficit spending?......was it November, perhaps?.....

    The first sentence is a lie.
    The second is true.
