Does a shooting war sound good? One we wouldn’t have the funding to fight?
sniff sniff sniff...
One gains creditability by bouncing back from the bottom.
Trump has many, many, MANY faults, but sad to say, he’s probably the only one who can beat 0bama.
While I hate the concept of bankruptcy, maybe he will use rules and laws to put us at a competitive advantage with respect to others in the world. That seems to be his strength, and God knows we’re in trouble economically.
Unless someone emerges who is more willing to call out 0bama on his chicanery, I think Trump is the best we’ve got.
Maybe we could borrow enough for the war from Trump?
It is a tool in business, very true, but it demonstrates a fiscal attitude that does not translate into government function. Using this attitude in government results in a Keynesian structure where debt is acceptable and can be ‘written off’ as needed, but instead of bankruptcy, which isn’t afforded governments. Instead, you get exactly like you have now.
I find it amazing how so many are drinking his kool-aid when he is far to the left of even McCain on most issues.
He is pro-gun control, pro-progressive taxation, pro-abortion, pro-socialized medicine.. and so on..
I’m sure a lot of wonderful Freepers have been bankrupt at some point (and bounced back) themselves.
I’m just basing this on statistics of course.
This story was originally published on August 11, 2004.
Interesting, the east coast was still recovering from Sept 11th
If you think so, go ahead and click abuse.. please.. I'll gladly post against a life-long democrat supporter, pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-progressive tax, pro-socialized health care, bend in the wind media darling that makes McCain look Conservative. Heck, I'll ping the mod myself if you would like.
Hmm... Maybe not finance anymore of our debt and make us live within our means!
Trump made quite a lot of progress since August 11, 2004 considering the hit the north east and tourism took after Sept 11th.
Hopefully we can find a candidate that knows business enough to do what Trump did only for our nation.
Funny, I recall a lot of people asking us to overlook Rudy's history of liberal policies because of how he handled 9/11 and his stand on the WOT. A lot of policies identical to Trump's.
You got that right.
Looks like the liberal/libertarian wing of FR is firmly in Trump's corner.
Is he playing by the rules?
Too many like the Mr. Right Now of Trump. He is a mirror of Rudy policy wise.
Is that game one we want taken to the government? See #27.
Winning at any cost is the only thing that matters!
Besides, those other pesky conservative values just get in the way anyways, who needs them as long as a “Republican” replaces Obama!
Too bad we can't say the same for Palin as of late. A year ago, she had my full support. Not so much today because all we get from her is talking points with no actual substance as to what her policies actually are and how she will implement them. She has truly become an established political elite in how she comes across anymore. Laughing off Trump and chuckling that it is his money, he can spend it as he wishes was a total turnoff. What does that say of her knowledgeof national security & its threats from enemies within? Did she not get the memo that less than 1 in 10 Americans do not believe Obama’s birth narrative? Does she really believe that newspaper birth announcements are proof of citizenship? If so, I want to take her & my SD newspaper birth announcement when I go to get my next drivers license, even though I was born just across the border in MN.
Few people here understand business bankruptcies. Often the creditors want a chapter proceeding because it gives them an orderly way to adjust the debt. Moreover, when the proceeding results from something that looks cyclical and the management/owner is capable, they typically want to keep the management/owner. That is something of a summary of the Trump case. This is one I know reasonably well.
