Well,yeah,it is. According to you,Trump sucks and we are fools to support him,so that makes it incumbent of YOU to tell us all who is better,and why.
In FACT,it is the WHOLE point of election season.
Nah, the unfortunate part is that the GOP voters have 'settled' for people who keep kicking the debt up another notch for so long, there really isn't any one, or any practical way in either Party, to stop. It's an addiction that will eventually kill this Republic.
Considering there is no 'simple' spending Bill ever that comes out of Congress. With all the extra-constitutional stuff (neither mandated by, nor authorized) that the FedGov does, it's always a multi-thousand page omnibus packed with grants to study butterfly migrations, gender assignation, and fund abortion, among literally hundreds of other things the government shouldn't be funding nor involved in.
We don't even monetize our own debt, (Like we did with "United States Notes") we borrow money from a banking cartel and pay them interest. They create the money they 'lend' us out of thin air. We could do that ourselves, by changing the wording on the notes, and save $580 Billion a year in interest. Some someones are making a lot of money out of the money we owe.
Unfortunately, people have been gradually steered so far away from the streamlined original concept of what a Federal Government is supposed to be, they can't see around the dungheap of government waste enough to even know what to demand--and as long as that is sold as "better than the other candidate", the lesser evil, then the march toward the greater evil will continue, just at a little slower pace.
Sadly, given the opportunity to actually do something to rein that in, the GOP did diddley-squat, bid'ness as usual, and rang up more tab on our backs. Why the very idea of returning those powers to the States not granted the Federal Government in the Constitution would likely be
casus belli in the eyes of the establishment, be that the Communist cadres of the Left, or the mercantile oligarchy of what passes for the Right.
@roamer_1 is Right. Unfortunately, Americans have been led so far from the original concepts of governance in these United States, that they can't conceive of Dr Franklin's Republic, much less keep it.
