This is an issue were I’m going to agree with Trump on.

We simply cannot afford this anymore. Period. Our fiscal situation is dire. When does this end?

Think about this. If Trump wins, and the US debt goes down to 10 trillion, he could brag he cut the debt in half

$544 billion deficit pushes up the U. S. national debt to nearly $20 trillion. this we can thank the inexperienced, above his pay grade, nobel peace prize winning affirmative action president. Thank all the dopes who voted for this impostor too.

Obama was out dancing the last tango in Havana.

That will be the memory of him.

“He was dancing when he should have been working.”

It should start with trials, convictions, and sentencing for those politicians who voted to permit this outrageous debt.

How about the citizenry that demands more and more spending?

Impossible for a Trumper. Yesterday, there was a post started by a Trumper were Jim Webb was endorsing Trump. The Trumpers couldn’t contain themselves with their glee. But, when you read the article and watched the interview in question, no such endorsement or commitment was given by Webb himself.

The deflation was epic. Which is what will happen when Trump either wins the nomination or the WH and starts being more comfortable going more to the left

Just to clarify, you want to criminalize opposition to Trump? Allowing and voting for measures that drastically increase our debt is political and ill advised but hardly criminal or almost every legislator since 1929 would be a criminal. It’s every dictator’s tactic to criminalize the opposition.

Such citizens are traitors like the politicians who betray the U.S. for their own personal gain. But the primary effort is to bring to justice those politicians who, as legislators, cast their votes to betray their country.

May those citizens, i.e., the Demonicrats and RINOs, endure sleepless nights wondering if a 3 AM pounding on their door will occur with a warrant for their arrest.

JimSEA @14: "Just to clarify, you want to criminalize opposition to Trump?"

Just to clarify, I mentioned no specific political candidate.

The traitorous betrayal of the U.S. is in the legislative and executive branches voting for and approving an outrageous debt that can only crush the U.S. economy and destroy the freedoms of U.S. citizens.

If there was enough demand to stop overspending by the electorate, the elected would have done it

LMAO @18: "If there was enough demand to stop overspending by the electorate, the elected would have done it."

That is why originally the U.S. was set up as a constitutional republic, but has slowly been perverted into a popular democracy where the immediate gratification of the electorate determines policy.

Noah Webster (1758-1843) is known as the “Father of American Scholarship and Education” as well as his dictionary and The American Spelling Book, which introduced Americanized spellings of words. However, Webster also had much to say about our country and government, including this excerpt from his book, Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education to which is subjoined a Brief History of the United States (New Haven: S. Converse, 1823, p. 19):

When a citizen gives his suffrage [vote] to a man of known immorality, he abuses his trust and he sacrifices not only his interest but that of his neighbor. He betrays the interest of his country. Nor is it of slight importance, that men elected to office should be able men, men of talents equal to their stations, men of mature age, experience, and judgement; men of firmness and impartiality....

"Whenever a man is known to seek promotion by intrigue, by temporizing, or by resorting to the haunts of vulgarity and vice for support, it may be inferred, with moral certainty, that he is not a man of real respectability, nor is he entitled to public confidence."

Exactly

So IMO, the mindset of the electorate needs to be changed first. If the current mindset continues amongst the population we could end up going full Pinochet
