If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.
The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?
The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again." atDonald J. Trump
While I will gladly vote for Trump if nominated, please consider the following.
Trump needs to wake up to the federal governments constitutionally limited powers. This is because he needs to start telling patriots to give him a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support his vision for the USA.
An added bonus of such a Congress is that it will probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices.
I don't think America has the time to wait for Trump.
Levin is going off about the smorgasbord US budget.
Not a Trump supporter but great statement by him. I am very glad that he has come out against this.
Exactly. Should have been selling when it was $100 a barrel.
Hang it in your ear. Rush is right.
"Don't doubt him"
Preach it DJ! Donald J. Trump, the next President of the United States.
LOL, that is a classic now.
Perfect. It looks like he’s starting to go more and more into general election mode.
I’ll bet one huge theme he goes on in the general election is “corporate welfare.”
Liberals hate the sound of it as much as conservatives (unless if it’s one of their own sacred cows of course.)
Everyone knows that Hilary is knee deep into corporate welfare and Wall Street deals.
Naw. That will not happen for quite a while if it ever happens. We are not even close. Obama added $10T and we are not close to that point.
One thing to look for is rising interest rates & impact on interest on the debt that starts sucking up most of the budget. Obama has enjoyed interest rates near zero. Now the fed has started raising rates. as the rates go up, feds will raise more taxes, print more money and reduce benefits. That process will go on a while. No dramatic bankruptcy. Just slow death with mass riots of the entitled masses bitching when the checks stop coming.
Rush also criticised this deal.
They are on the same page.
Trump spends very little for all the free media he is receiving.
That’s budget discipline.
Trump spends very few words in his policy statements. Especially in this latest one about the budget. They are clear and concise, yet effective.
Again, that’s budget discipline.
Anyone have the CONgress voter roll list to see who voted for this piggy fest?
Yes if you think about he is playing them big time
So many want to credit Rush, or maybe Trump issued a statement because this cave-in budget deal was released last night at 2:00 am. This is the first day since the budget was released.
Trump needs to work some specifics on this into his speeches. There, I’ll take credit for that if he does.
[[Been waiting for his statement on the R-House cave. Powerful! ]]
Me too- glad he said it- send a loud clear message to ryan that his job is on the line
Hope Cruz says something similar
Well, that’s going to leave a mark on Ryan’s sorry hide.
yeah, it’s a good statement. Trump/Cruz?
I wonder who he is thinking about?
