Nah. The Trumpettes are just looking for something new to feed their fear.

We applaud the economy. We also know that Trump can’t be credited for it.

lmao You call his policies conservative and in the very same sentence you say "however conservative is described in this country". Since you don't know that conservative means smaller government why in the world are you commenting on it?

btw his policies are not distinctly conservative and I know what it means. Raising the already out of control spending is a progressive policies. That's his worst flip flop so far. That and Nation building are not small government.
Keep making things up.

Because the Federal government creates debt not jobs. They can stay out of the way, that helps.

That’s not true at all. Conservative traditionally means supporting established institutions and fighting against changes to the system.

Conservatives in America have always (from Reagan to before) supported foreign policy and military initiatives to the max, guarded the economic controllers (Wall Street, etc.) and fought for right wing social policies.

They were never small government.

This. Presidents have very little to do with the economy.

Still, I can dislike Trump (and I do) and not want the county to falter just to prove some point.

Trump is not the USA.

Because they want Trump to fail, plain and simple.

They realize that impeaching Trump is a lost cause.

All people of good will are glad to see the economy roar along.


What some people objected to was simple: tax cuts are a tool used to stimulate a lackluster economy. When the recent tax cuts were passed, the economy was not lackluster by any means. Some economists have opined that such a stimulus was wasted, for it left few arrows in the quiver should a downturn occur.


Some also objected to a tax cut that mainly benefited the wealthy and corporations.


If such is one's opinion of a liberal being 'furious', then I guess I will be part of that group. I thought the tax cut was ill-advised.


Let us peek at the National Debt clock:


U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time




I recall when conservatives were 'furious' over the increasing national debt. They have calmed down now, seemingly.
