    How do you figure Trump is evil? He's about my least favorite Republican of all time, and I don't believe a word he says, but he's merely narcissistic, a braggart, a loudmouth, and a charlatan. But evil? Hardly. Hillary Clinton is evil. She'll tell you to your face she's not in bed with the banks while telling the banks that they'll do well with her in office. Barack Obama is evil. He made deals with America's #1 enemy, Iran. But explain how Trump is evil? He wants to do what's best for the country, even if he doesn't know what that is or how to make it happen.

    I dont see what this had to do with Trump but okay. It was a state/city issue.

    My post was only about the idiocy of her claim.

    Washington is economically illiterate. That's what frustrates me the most. Most of Washington is filled with lawyers, but that law internship isn't going to do SQUAT when it comes to social and political policies(which is why the Framers didn't want us to fill the posts with these types.)

    By adapting high taxation policy that will get us into a double-dip recession? Under Trump, government spending actually slowed(no, it didn't stop but it substantially slowed). If far left gets its way, we will be the USSA lol.

    For those of you not in the know - stuck in the reich-wing echo chamber, I suppose - the other 'girl' he's referring to is also AOC...

    Off topic, but perhaps you could explain what makes Iran America's#1 enemy? Meddling in Palestine - So does the US. Meddling in Iraq - the US and the west destroyed Iraq. Enemies of SA - would I need to bring up 911. Standing up and pointing out US worldwide interference and aggression - is that it? Though I don't think that they have even done that

    Under the status quo today, the national debt is $22 Trillion. Curiously, that is about the same figure identified by MSU economists as the amount of money missing or unaccounted for in Pentagon audits. When the chickens come home to roost, we're going to have way more than a double-dip recession. The anarcho-capitalism we have today is really just another form of fascism.

    So wait, you think that every cent the US Federal Government has ever spent is a result of a Trump-led conspiracy? Sorry, but I don't buy AOC's argument(on anything, much less finance. I studied the same field, and have more extensive knowledge on the subject than she does.)

    Hell no I don't think a Trump-led conspiracy is solely responsible for the national debt. That you must make such a claim reveals just how simple-minded a person can be, how bankrupt a given philosophy can be. Gawd…...

    That's literally what you posted, and I can quote it:

    At minimum, you implied it(and so did AOC) and it's not correct(to be politically correct). It's appalling to even suggest it.

    It's becoming more and more clear that most on the left are completely ignorant to economics.

    Sadly she is no more ill-educated or stupid than the leftists of her district who voted her into office and who WILL joyfully vote for her in the future. Leftist Beavis . . . meet . . . your . . . Leftist Buttheads.

    To be Left, is to be poorly educated. We can clearly see that.

    It’s becoming more and more clear—-maybe the clearest ever!—that those on the right project their own weaknesses onto the left.
