WTF, btw, right now your RCP article links to two articles on rt.com, a Russian government owned news outlet.



Go back and listen to Rick Santelli's rant on CNBC that started the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party was all about LOWERING the deficit.

As to your second point, what happens if rates go way up? Say inflation hits 4% so the Fed raises interest rates to 7%. That means we pay $1 trillion more per year in interest expense on our $22 trillion debt. Total income tax revenues right now are about 1.9 trillion per year, so we're fucked. Also, look at Trump's background. He's borrowed enormous amounts of money, so he's predisposed to favor lower interest rates. Originally Posted by Tiny

All they are doing is creating a stock market bubble.

We need to let Germany and Japan rebuild their military and give them some nukes!

They can be the equivalent of our Jewish friends in Israel. Except we won't have to give them as much welfare as the Israelis!

Are you listening friendly fred!

Now do you wanna bet me the Fed raises rates to 7%?

I think I let you and bambino a self ban for being so fucking stupid.

At one time you had enough sense to know Trump is a phoney.

Remember Sugar High, sugar britches?

Iran will eventually get nukes , maybe not in your limited lifetime but like Pakistan, they'll get nukes.

I would much rather be friendly with Iran than the Saudi's.

Trump couldn't top 3% GDP....and you think the Fed will spike to 7%.

Now do you understand why Carter did not get reelected? Give Trump 7% interest and see how his reelection turns out.

While we are at it can you show me the year Trump topped 3% GDP?

Do you two nitwits want to get into another pissing contest to try and prove which one has no gag reflex on Trumps dick? Look...I believe you both love the man equally.
