And I agreed that the deficit was a problem that needed to be addressed and in a hurry. Now that the tax changes and increased military spending are going to put the deficit on steroids, are my relatives expressing their grave concern? Nope, nothing but crickets. Guess the children and grandchildren were not so important after all.
If the lord jesus returned to Earth in a dramatic and unequivocal and undeniable way that NOBODY could doubt he was GOD himself - and revealed that he was really black - and not the whitewashed version many people have become accustomed to - christianity would probably loose at least 33% of it's current believers.

Typical conservative attitude--let's massively cut revenue, and then spend and spend and spend. Who cares about future generations? Screw them! We won't be around to feel the pain we're creating for them.

Its the way it apparently works in America. While i never agreed with the hate venom and vitriol leveled at Obama the same attitude is thrown at trump because he is an obvious buffoon/moron . and the next president will get the same greeting from the people,years of Limbaugh etal and FOX have created adversary's within your own culture,hate the liberals,hate minorities,hate the media,hate the FBI/CIA/NSA/DOJ,etc hate any one who doesnt agree with me.Well i dont agree with trump and all his bs so you can add me to the hate list.

He is now threatening to shut down the country if he doesnt get his wall.
He was going to repeal and replace the ACA.
He was going to lock Hillary up.
He was going to bring back jobs particularly reopen coal mines.
Every weekend hes off on a golfing excursion in AF1
hes a sexual predator that has no qualms sleeping around
He lies incessantly
Call every one names
makes fun of women and the handicapped
Hes making no real change hes just inflating his ego at Americas expense.
And this is the guy you look up to as your president?
Nita all i see is a total con man fooling a large number of Americans.If you think this clown is good for America We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

That's fine. I didn't support the (R)'s and I won't support the (D)'s. If you think that is why we elect leaders, well.........

It works because Americans are mostly simpletons (but not my esteemed CD posters) and people tend to have a "my team must win" mentality.
It didn't really work. All of the politicians that participated in that were rejected for president.

In my case, I would most likely pay less for health care under a system like that.
