(New York, NY) December 17, 2015

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

Another 10 points for TRUMP!

Nope! Only 50% of Americans have a budget and understand what a budget is.

So Trump will only get another 5+ points. Then according to the Trump Derangers on FR, he will be dropping out any day because he can't beat Obama's criminal buddy, Clintoon.

Anyone who can be suckered by McConnell is a little too trusting and naive to be running for president at this time.

Oh, buzz off. Just ridiculous. This is a fantastic statement that shows he has the heart of the American people. Did Cruz make a statement? If so, did anyone hear it?

Only one person can SPEAK to America like he does.

Whether you are on the left or right there is not one member of Congress in leadership position that serves America or the American people. We need to wake up. They play the games with their media pals to divide us on the insignificant stuff, while these scumbags and their special interest cronies get to plunder us.

Good point in post 8. I guess I’ll take any condemnation of that dreadful bill that I can get.

Oh, and Trump said he supports alternate forms of energy but said NOTHING about subsidies.

That “name calling” might be “childish” to you, but it had deadly propaganda effect. It basically destroyed Bush, Fiorina, and Carson. You might not like it, but it is anything but childish. As Scott Adams of the “Dilbert” series, who is now a consultant on linguistics and use of language called them, these were “verbal kill shots” that in one or two words just wiped people out. And he’s starting to go after Hillary this way.

He’s very much in election mode, while Cruz and Rubio are squabbling about who voted for what amendment. That comes off to the public as very much more “inside Washington” baloney that people are sick of. Trump, on the other hand, always goes big picture, big vision.

Coming from a billionaire who built his business on hard work, discipline, smarts and negotiating good deals is exactly what we need in the WH. Obastard has driven us carelessly into dangerous and deep debt complicit with DemRat leftists and spineless RINO cowards. We are sick of them all and pox on them for what they do to weaken America.

Why would Trump listen to someone who called him Donald McCain,

If you think Trump needed help in writing this response, you haven’t been following Trump in his books, on Twitter, on Facebook and/or in his rallies. This is no different that what he’s been saying since he published Time to get Tough in 2011.

Hopefully The Donald would kick Congress’ butt up and down the avenue until they get on board.

Trump hasn’t only relied on tax breaks and federal funding to build his real estate empire, he’s actively supported just about every bailout and subsidy that has ever come up at the federal level. About the only thing anti corporatist about the campaign is his anti-immigration policy.
