One of the professors at Harvard was. Made the news a while back. Spying for China or somesuch.
I kinda feel like when the parties work together, things get worse. It scares me when there is panic (like post 911) and they two parties find unity. We got ridiculous wars and "security theater" called the TSA in addition to other liberty trampled.Partisanship is strangling our country, and actual decent, qualified people do not want to get caught up in the game of tit for tat. Both parties would rather tear each other apart than work together for the benefit of all.
I guess it's time to once again point out that...............That is my one major complaint with trump...... of course I don’t see any candidate wanting to address it.
None of that matters...... how about someone who wants to balance the budget?I guess it's time to once again point out that...............
The rate of increase in deficit spending is ALWAYS less under Democratic administrations.
Trump not only continues that trend but solidifies it. That was true even before Covid-19.
Such a ridiculous place to plant a flag of moral superiority. Deficits are bad.I guess it's time to once again point out that...............

The last time someone seriously proposed balanced budgets, they were derided for hating poor people and wanting to kill old folks. Hell, the last government shutdowns we've had...you would have thought 75% of the country starved to death.That's dreamland anymore. Neither side is really worried about that.
Ours is pretty good. I just feel there are a couple of things that need to move a little more in the socialistic direction. Health care being the primary one. Also some further adjustments to the tax code are needed.Ok gotcha but would you care to provide your opinion on which country’s economy we should mimic? What would be acceptable?
I have many policy complaints against DJT that don't even touch his brash, abrasive demeanor. I don't care if he spits on the press corps, moons them, or flips them off. Don't care what juvenile names he calls others in DC.
The fiscal side of it is more frightening than any virus. We cannot continue to spend like money is infinite.

What name do you give it?They’re funded through tax revenue and are legitimate functions of government at any level. You can call that socialism if you wish but it makes you sound like a ****ing idiot.
agree with almost all.I don't disagree but that is hardly proprietary to the Trump WH.
Until this outbreak, there was nothing wrong with the economy; I think Trump did his part, insofar as a president can affect the economy. He has taken on issues presidents have kicked down the road for decades in bipartisan fashion; from trade with enemy and friend, calling and treating enemies as enemies, and bureaucratic corruption. While saddled with corrupt investigations by agency heads and impeachment designs before his election. While the bureaucrats squeal like pigs and traitorously leak like sieves. It's remarkable what he's accomplished.
The right is right on taxes, but wrong in that they're not willing to knife fight to cut spending. Dems are wrong on both.
I've thought for some time we won't self-correct fiscally and a total crash is inevitable. Every major economy suffers the same flaw and will share that fate. I think the wrong conclusions will be drawn from the devastation, a global quasi-Marxist system will rise from the ashes. A modern, technocrat version of the Dark Ages.
I'd revel in being wrong.
