The problem is that those two or three carts filled with toasters, etc. is being paid for with credit cards with interest rates of up to 21%.

OOPS-—Impeachment has Dems losing votes faster they can manufacture them.


Impeachment promoter Nadler said: “We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems.”

Sounds like something Idi Amin said.

Real wages are up.

But I agree with you - Trump needs to create a plan to reduce public sector liabilities.

Trump seems very methodical regarding how he's attacking a series of issues - first, grow the economy and stabilize defense programs. Then retake Congress in 2020 and begin fiscal reforms.

Lower unemployment and a secured Southern border should reduce need for federal welfare spending, so that's a start in the right direction....

I expect to hear some big plans for budget reforms from the WH after Trump wins re-election.

Every month that goes by without a collapse in what appears to be a severely overextended credit sector reassures us a Trump 2020 victory.

But I am worried about the situation and I'm with you - there is too much debt out there and it's like a game of musical chairs. Any small shock means the music stops & some people are not going to find a chair to sit on.

Since the Democrats are all about 'class warfare' and social justice fakery, a Dem President (if that happened) would seize private sector retirement accounts, which approximately equal the size of the Federal Debt ($25 Trillion), and use it to bail out public union pensions and rent-seeking campaign donors on Wall Street and K Street. Like Obama did for GM unions at expense of GM bond holders. It'll be Cyprus bail-in of 2013 when the government confiscated bank accounts, only times a thousand.

Not trolling, just realistic. Let's keep our fingers crossed, the next 11 mos...

I have used a c.c. for 7 years, cash back 1.5%, pay in full every month. Last month I had around $2,000 in charges and simply (stupidly?) forgot to pay it on time.

Interest & penalty, $45.

That’ll larn me a lesson!
