Keep that lie up. Sooner or later it will become the truth.

quote:Exactly! We need to keep the establishment in power so they will eventually get around to reducing the size and scope of government. Surely, they will do it if we keep re-electing them, give them more power, and let them spend more. Eventually, they will get around to fixing it. Winning!
Small “l” libertarian ideas simply are not going to win elections. And the name of the game in politics is winning elections and wielding power. You can sit on the sidelines and wring your hands, but it doesn’t do any good when the Marxist left is running roughshod over this country

quote:Not really that different. Both terms he just CR'ed the same budgets he "inheirted", and added to them slightly. Niether term has had significant legislative success. He wanted an "infrastructure" bill that was bigger than Biden's. And he's always been fan of monetary stimulus.
I just want to know why Trump decided 2.0 had to be this different from 1.0.

Pointing those out isn't "disloyal," it's objective truth and where we should be demanding MAGA remain standing.

If they send me a check, it’ll be a small percentage of my tax money that they’ve wasted.

What happens first? We see Mitch Mcconnell alive again or get a Trump check for $5,000? (shamelessly stolen from twitter)

Obvious error. He meant 21 gazillion.

If anyone from SealTeam47 wants to prove their trust in Trump, they can send me $3,000 now and I’ll send them back all $5,000 when the TrumpBux checks come through.

quote:Yeah. Generally oppose Keyensian stimulus. Opposed it when Obama did it too. Why is Trump inmplement Obama-era policies that Krugman touted as awesome?
Well, you guys bitched incessantly about everything Trump did to stimulate the GDP.
quote:Trump misusing a temporary authority for tariffs had nothign to do with "cheering" from anyone. Well, maybe Lutnik who had the arbitraged hedge in place to profit over them being declare illegal. Maybe he was cheering Trump on to do it? :lol:
And then there are the democrats who sued him to stop the growth while you guys cheered them on.
quote:Monetary stimulus isn't growth. If it was counterfeiting would not only be legal, but encouraged. The only "growth" monetray stimulus creates is higher bond yeilds.
So how can you bitch about lack of growth when you bitch about every measure taken to achieve it?

Everybody should know the difference between a stimulus check and a dividend.
—— A stimulus is borrowed cash in a crisis. Government prints or borrows, mails you a check, debt goes up.
—— A dividend is a CUT of money already earned. Country collects. You get a share because you’re the people the country is supposed to serve.
That’s the shift.

quote:Nope. None of these came from the conservative side of the party. And the biggest (rightfully) cricicisms of those clowns were that they were too establishment, too willing compromise with democrats, and if elected, would behave like democrats. Trump claimed to be "different". But he's proposed and implemented more democrat policies than any president in my lefttime, except maybe Obama. Cue the "Kamala would have been worse" retorts.
You guys gave us such winners as McCain, Romney, and Jeb.
