The debate is already started.
When will people understand that government forced artificial wage and price controls are a DISASTER to the economy? It artificially forces higher costs, therefore higher prices, less jobs, and drive business elsewhere.
The federal minimum wage is not only a disaster but it is unconstitutional.
Carson seems to sort of get it.
The answer to the question is GET RID of the minimum wage.
Federal debt.
The bigger problem is the SIZE of government and its spending. The answer is CUT THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT back to its constitutional functions. Most, up to 80% of the federal government is unconstitutional and should be shut down.
The “budget†issue would be resolved if government were cut by A LOT. Politicians will probably always spend more than the budget, but if you cut government by 80%, the deficit will be a nit.
Jim, you do know this is a repeat?
ON FNC ?
No it isn't.
Shhhhh...He’s on a roll
Cutting taxes: the KEY to economic growth.
Cruz’s 10% flat tax is GREAT!!!
There should be NO BUSINESS TAX since there is really no such thing as business tax. What is “business”? It is a bunch of people providing goods or services. A “tax” on business simply raises their costs and is passed on to the consumer with higher prices. The so-called “business tax” is a hidden tax to the individual.
BTW, NO “fair tax” (national sales tax) until the 16th Amendment allowing income tax, is repealed. Otherwise you’ve just added a sales tax to the existing income tax. And if you pass some kind of law that the income goes away, unless the 16th Amendment is repealed. Until the 16th Amendment is gone, income tax will ALWAYS be a federal option.
“Income equality”: a socialist concept and none of the feds constitutional business. Will ANY of these candidates bring the Constitution into the debate? After all, the ONLY question you have to ask yourself when it comes to federal acts: is it constitutional?
Beyond that, as Milton Friedman said, “When a society puts equality first, it will have neither equality not freedom. When a society puts freedom first, society will have a great deal of both.”
aahh..I thought the debate was Tuesday.
Bush is a mealy-mouthed wimp.
Where’s the thread?
Kasich and Bush just hijacked it with the “you can’t deport 11 million” idiot line.
Trump stood dead firm.
rerun of 11-10 debate in Milwaukee.
So did I.
Actually.
What they’re showing today is a re-run???
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
So did I. So what is this thing tonight??
Ready for the Jim Gilmore surge!!!
Bluto: Rerun? Did you say “Rerun”? Nothing is a rerun until we decide it is!
Yes, according to the online guide- notice no “live” message on screen- next debate is Tuesday.
