The auto loans were paid back....the farm subsidies are just welfare.What farm subsidies has Trump increased and have been paid? And what "food stamp" controls has he made effective NOW!
You may think it smart like government subsidies to say electric car buyers.
But they are welfare...not sure why you Trumpettes are so hypocritical about these things.

Higher taxes and crony capitalism are supposed to be the opposite of what the Republican Party believes in. But Trump has brainwashed the party.

Tiny I believe that research may show that Republican Presidents with Dem controlled Houses create more debt than the opposite.x
You may be right. The last time this country took the deficit seriously, a Democrat (Clinton) was president and Republicans controlled Congress.
Also I do not think Sanders will get the nomination and I hope like hell Warren doesn't!
I hope you're right!

The tariffs have hurt our economy. Employment and investment in U.S. manufacturing would be higher without the tariffs.
Unfortunately, what's the alternative? If Democrats sweep the presidency and Congress in 2020, they won't undo the tariffs, unless maybe Biden is elected.
I'm not so sure about this.
Trump's corporate tax cuts will be undone. The Democrats will hugely increase taxes on capital.
As I understand it, this is where the money is. As Willie Sutton said. Taking money from those who make money from there money.
The size of the federal government and the deficit will grow more than during the Trump administration. The private sector will shrink relative to government. If views of Warren and Sanders prevail for an extended period, the USA will become a second rate country, another France if we're lucky, or Argentina if we're not. This country is fucked.

The Democratic Party is just as responsible as the Republican Party for the sorry state of the poor in America, including many Blacks. Too much in the way of funds is directed to the elderly, who are relatively well off. And to some people with able bodies and able minds on programs like Social Security Disability. Resources should be reallocated intelligently to poor children and single mothers. And how about education? The teachers unions have bought off the Democratic Party, so that education reform in many places where it's needed most is problematic. The Democratic Party should stop trying to fuck the people at the top and instead work on helping the people at the bottom. Originally Posted by Tiny
