Probably the same thing Ronald Reagan would think of his party now.
Reagan would look at the leading economic indicators and know the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans were being improved....There is no question Reagan would be very happy about that.Probably the same thing Ronald Reagan would think of his party now.
It's hard to "owe" debt that you own. The US government isn't taking out unsecured loans from banks in China.If you ad up the borrowed money this Gov. owes,
it's 21 trillion then add to it the debt to Social Security and MediCare + all those
Gov. pensions.
Largest foreign holder, yes, they are. Who holds US Treasuries is immaterial though. If the US was borrowing in Chinese Yuan, that could be bad since the US doesn't issue the Chinese Yuan.Maybe not exactly banks, but China is the largest holder of US Bonds.

This is one of many vids showing how dumb she is.
Is "she" Amy Kloubucher ?
Wonder what Obama thinks of his party now.
And to think Uncle Bernie was cheated out of running against Trump by HRC. That's her one redeeming outcome. Sanders would've been a handful for DJT with today's millennials looking for handouts and Bern willing to oblige.
" build a wall"... it's simply a metaphor
What's wrong is our authoritarian president declaring and emergency he created and in so doing circumventing the constitution and the fundamental separation of powers which is basic to our democratic republic. What's wrong is uninformed people like yourself who would rather be led around by the nose by a wannabe dictator who is systematically doing his best to destroy this country. Trump's autocratic tendencies are blueprint...tell everyone he's the only person who can fix things; denigrate the fundamentals of our democracy, declare the 4th estate the enemy, and lie to a point where people don't know what is the truth.
Your post is nothing but full on borderline psychotic anti-Trump narrative, but the part I quoted is worth highlighting.declare the 4th estate the enemy

The media is responsible for its ****** biased "journalism" and rock bottom credibility. Trump pointing out that the blatant media falsehoods and political bias are an enemy to free people in this country is just reflecting reality. Your hysterical hyperbole is an excellent example of what Trump is talking about.
Tell us how much you know about Putin. I assume you are well versed on his foreign policies, his economic policies, his approval ratings in Russia, etc. And please, no Google or Wikipedia cut and paste.Article 1, section 7, clause 2: The House of Representatives appropriates the dollars necessary to run the govt. The founders knew that appropriation in the hands of a despot, a ruler, a king, a president, was a blueprint for disaster. Trump is America's Putin. He is the most dangerous and incompetent man to ever hold the office of president.
First, I have never spoken of my personal financial situation on this board. You are the first to tell me that my post are arrogant and tied to my financial success. Maybe some have thought it but no one has said it before now. I guess you perceived some arrogance by me challenging your knowledge of Putin? For the record, I'm not offended or agitated by your comment. This is your opinion and I think your opinion is formed more by your opposition to my comments rather than my bank balance. Let's agree that you are an educated man and you have been to Russia. You have defined Putin about as well as your experiences allows. I would say that most Americans have the same views of Putin. Putin, his policies and his rules of governing are exactly what Russia needed in the past and needs for the near future. Russia is not ready for American style democracy and your ideals. Russia has 11 times zones, 35 base languages and over 100 minor dialects. The diversity is staggering. Russia has a terrorist state (Chechnya) within their borders that is a constant threat. Your observation of Crimea and Ukraine are based on one sided reporting. You are an educated man, surely you understand that the USA has meddled in elections for centuries. Your education should tell you that political subversive activity is not limited to Russia. The USA jumped into the last election process in Israel. Although I have not taken notice of your past post to the extent that you have mine I do recognize that we are probably opposite in our political beliefs. I find your comments to be mostly emotional and delusional regardless of your education. FYI: I have extensive experience in Russia, both personal life and business.Where to start...first, I have never cut & pasted anything to this forum. I have read your posts over the years and realized that they are based more or less on an arrogance somehow tied to your financial success. I'm an educated man and my opinions are based, not on some perceived status, real or contrived, but on my attempt to educate myself on the issues of the day. I've been to Russia and I understand that Putin is largely a popular leader mainly because of his reinstatement of the church and his appeal to Russian patriotism and the restoration of the country's identity and glory after the fall of the Soviet Union. This does not change the fact that his style of a "managed democracy" is totally counter to the norms if our democratic republic. He heads up a government that controls society within a contrived appearance of democracy. Russian govt. presents a strong presidency and weak institutions. There is state control of the media. Total control over elections. Everything is vertically integrated beneath the president with no horizontal connections. The is a huge gap between personal, corporate, and systemic interests. Obedience is the 1st measure of performance. The Oligarchs are the K-street of the country and Putin simply plugs them into the system. His desire to restore Russia to Soviet Union status in the world stage is manifest in at least 2 historical events; one related to the annexation of Crimea and the attempt to take over Ukraine and his ongoing efforts to undermine the U.S. electoral system. Many of the approaches Putin uses to govern are emblematic of the manner by which Trump attempts to govern. Fortunately, our system of checks and balances has prevented him, so far, from literally declaring himself president for life and taking this country down the road to authoritarian govt.
For the record, Putin is not communist. Gorbachev ad Yeltsin were.Reagan was deeply anti-Communist. No way would he approve of the footsie being played with Putin.

Was Obumbles colluding when he dropped the mic & said "tell Vlad I'll be much freer to work with him after the 2012 election" ?
Different strokes for different folks
You are thinking of Stalin. I know thousands of Russians that have no political affiliation that would laugh at your comment. Granted, Putin has a different mode of operation but most Russians are ok with it.has proven he is a brutal dictator

^^^One of these is obviously ********.Scottsdale...honestly, I had not given your personal circumstances much thought one way or the other until someone posted a comment about your success and your Corvette collection as if these facts somehow ordained you as a savant on social and political issues.
