President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm afraid that what is going to happen is further legislation to weaken the ACA, followed by blaming the Democrats for its continuing to crater.

 

Those who torpedoed the bill did so because it wasn't horrible enough for the people.

Any movement on the next bill likely will be to placate those who want it to conform to conservative ideology at the expense of the people.

 

Government supposed to work slow. We don't want Democrat Congressheeple forcing a crappy 3,000 page bill down our throats so we can see whats in it after its passed.

Congrats to Freedom Caucus pushing free market reforms.

Paul Ryan needs to be ousted. Replacement bill should be written without any closed doors.

 

As a general rule when dealing with incompetent morons like Trump, the country is better off when he fails, and worse off when he succeeds.

 

Reducing debt by $100 billion in first 2 months is incompetent?

 

This could make things somewhat interesting.

 

Nothing has been reduced.

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

It's possible, in the 0.001 percent chance something resembling his budget gets actually passed, that on the surface we could see a $100 billion debt reduction.

But that doesn't take into consideration the problems government will have to address with a sicker population thanks to a shitty health care bill and minimal regulations from the EPA and CDC. All this shit has consequences that extend far beyond the 2018 midterms.

 

The deficit always goes down in the first four months because that's when people pay their taxes. It's like taking credit for snow in February.

 

When Trump took office debt was 19.9 trillion. Its now 19.8 trillion

Obama increased debt $400 billion in first two months.

 

Trump finally gets something passed! (Who knew he was a George Brett fan?!?!)
