You've been told America was on the decline.

To any rational person that would mean it makes no difference at all what you do. You can literally give tax cuts till you're blue in the face and it won't help if those people are in no way able to compete with the rest of the world.

Therefore the only thing that will decrease the value of our debt while increasing the value of our work will be to devalue the dollar. The best way for the government to do that is to add supply through welfare, work programs and generally whatever inflationary policy makes the dollar drop.

It's an equalization process on the most basic form similar to your ice cold glass of water becoming room temperature.

What reasoning do you back that up with.... I'm waiting for this intelligent response.

As you have noticed, when Liberals wish to discredit someone so that the status quo continues, they ALWAYS avoid discussing the actual issues, and instead resort to childish name-calling. They will NEVER discuss how giving government even more money will not result in politicians suddenly being fiscally responsible. If they can't be fiscally responsible with $1.5 trillion dollars in tax money, they won't suddenly be fiscally responsible with $2.5 trillion. You can NEVER give enough to those who have no ability to constrain their spending. This should be obvious to everyone by now.

Liberals will also never address the fact that all the government regulations and taxes do nothing but HELP Big Business. The mega-corporations can afford the lobbyists to get exemptions from the regulations that destroy smaller businesses--like Obamacare. So the government crushes the small businesses that would have otherwise allowed someone from the working class to achieve financial freedom, and also the primary job-producers of the economy (making labor even cheaper and more desperate for the Big Businesses to take advantage of). Liberals use the people's anger against the injustice of Big Business to destroy the small businesses that actually give us real opportunities.

Whenever the liberals respond to someone voicing valid opinions and issues and offering real-world solutions, they will fill the air with "Bah! Ridiculous! He's crazy! Insane!"
