When I think about it its actually funny how you people waited all this time to complain about Trump. I definitely respect the long game. All this bitching about Obama must've been like 15 years ago and here you are pointing it out now. Again, I don't care who golfed or how many times and I never said anything about this before today. If this is the focus of people then so be it.Quote:

See this is mild whataboutism. Not severe, but it has the elements of deflection. Guy starts a site to mock Trump's campaign lies. You enter thread to whine about the guy pointing out the lies and then exaggerate by double how long ago we are talking about. He obviously couldn't lie about it again this campaign because what a fraud he was on the issue is already on record. You even added an oh boo hoo like a dick.Quote:

If I spend a year mocking you about an activity and then engage in said activity twice as much as you, and someone points it out, the rational answer is yeah I am a hypocrite and full of shit. Not attack the guy who is pointing out I mocked you when I am far worse.
You are a cult member. This is the behavior of a cult member regardless of if you fail to recognize it or not. Hence why I call you a dupe, because I would like to think you're not that far gone mentally if you're real, but maybe you are. I would prefer if you were disingenuous rather than stupid.
you think i was being a dick because I said boo-who? If I ever knew about Trump making an issue of Obama golfing I didn't remember it. So it wasn't 15 years ago? Ok, sorry for that.Quote:

Trump has done and said a lot of stupid things. I'm no apologist for him. I'm not part of any cult but I am definitely wishing him well.

Prices are going to go thru the roof. One of the sleaziest PE firms has control of Safeway Albertsons. The Biden admin thwarted their attempt to get a monopoly.
Trump brought them into his admin. You're dreamimg if you think the prices of grocerires are going to come down.

Branding something a "whataboutism" is one of the weak ass arguments those afflicted with woke mind virus try to use to stifle debates they are losing. The person that screams "whataboutism" want their cake and eat it too. They don't want you to point to injustices coming from their side as they accuse you of injustices.
The irony of it is the person that screams "Hey, that's a whataboutism!" are themselves commiting a whataboutism. They are essentially saying "Hey, whatabout that whataboutism you are using in your argument?"
But it's typical of lefties. They always accuse their opposition of doing exactly what they themselves are doing.

Copilot in training, pilot in control.
Trump was and is right about EVERYTHING.
Liberal policies ruining our country again.
more winning
Death and tragedy is always going to be even worse with Trump. I know the guy doesn’t have a cunt hair of empathy in his body. But you can’t go to political attacks and the DEI stuff during your first public statement while they are still pulling bodies from a river.
Look we all know he doesn’t give two shits about the dead people. Although, I guess you can say he cares about the “talented” figure skaters who died. But the fact that he couldn’t fake it for the first public statement. It just is really gross.
Not trying to get into the politics. I know we can always say there are calls for gun control before the bodies are cold after mass shootings. But the fact Trump couldn’t fake giving a shit and once he went off prompter went into the attacks … just gross.

Most likely what is going to happen is they will try to get rid of as many fed employees as possible and then try to convince people that many entitlement programs are "broken". They will then try to "reform" many entitlement programs to significantly reduce the entitlement program. Their ultimate goal is to completely scrap every entitlement program for lower and middle class. That includes social security, medicare and so on.
The problem is they don't want to do this when you have non-partisan federal employees who could notify the general public of what is going on inside."

Intellectually one can deduce as much as your debt being the result of decades of government spending exceeding government income in other words spending/income > 1.
If you cut government spending the spending/income ratio will close in towards 1 eventually going <1.
However, if you cut government spending, this will simultaneously result in GDP, the size of your economy, to decrease.
In other words while you might reduce debt by 1 trillion, you will essentially cut GDP by 1 trillion as well.
The current debt is 36.4 trillion USD and the current GDP is 29.6 trillion USD. This gives a ratio of 1.229.
If you cut 1 trillion off of both you get 35.4 trillion USD in debt and 28.6 trillion USD in GDP. Ie a ratio of 1.237 that is to say an increase in debt to gdp.
Factor in tariffs wich will certainly have a negative effect on growth, as well as the tech bubble finally about to pop with China surpassing US companies, and you actually start to wonder is this the moment?
The correct solution would of course be to increase taxes from the 1 % since they hold a total wealth of 43 trillion USD, but this is of course not what Trump and his tech bros want, so they will basically do everything except tax the rich lol.
1. The government spending is not the problem. As I have already explained, you will not reduce debt by decreasing government spending because the debt far exceed the GDP. If you cut government spending by 1 trillion you effectively cut GDP by 1 trillion, and this will worsen your debt to gdp ratio.
2. The problem is that the US isn’t taxing the top 1 % or even top 10 % nearly enough. They hold 70 % of all private wealth yet pay hardly any taxes. The US is unique in its low taxation of the wealthy.
3. The US government expediture itself is comparably small when you look at other developed economies:"
