    But then Trump's peeps would be on the streets and he will lose his base for 2020. On 2nd thought, maybe that's a good thing. Let get it done!

    I said reform entitlements. We don’t need any of those things run by our Govt. I guess we don’t need a defense department either but it is nice to have a country not overrun by the Chinese. I’m also all for cutting the DoD....we need to stop defending Europe and Japan but those bases, cut the personal.

    Well hopefully these people got some sort of skill set while living off the taxpayers, and can use them in the private sector. Maybe they know how to answer the phone, I can use a receptionist

    Take a look around we are having one of the best economic booms in a generation. Thanks President Trump and the GOP Congress

    Pretty funny considering the Republicans spend far more, but have no way to make it up therefore increased the debts even higher. Sean Stupidity's hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    There are tons of good paying jobs in the U.S. for people who are willing to work.

    So there is just going to be several hundred thousand jobs that magically appear when all these people are let go?

    Cut money to Israel and Saudi Arabia while you are at it. Neither one of them have ever done a damn thing for us.

    the economy has been on the same upward trend for 9 straight years. There is no boom, that suddenly happened the day trump took office. We have a strong economy, but thanks to republican incompetence, we slashed revenues, and have a sky rocketing deficit and debt again.

    That statement is blatantly false posting it crushes what little credibility you thought you might have ever had.

    You literally quoted where I said reform entitlements.

    Oh no they won’t just appear...they will likely have to work for them. Maybe some can start their own businesses as well. See this is why Dems should not be anywhere close to Govt, they can’t read and have no clue how an economy works

    It have been that way for the past 10 years. But don't let that fact get in the way of your partisanship.

    Hahhahaha wrong! Heck obama himself said jobs weren’t coming back and mocked trump during the campaign when he said he was going to bring back manufacturing jobs. Just say thanks

    it is quite demonstrably true. Reagan tax cuts caused the debt to soar. So did bush's. So has trumps. Republicans run up the debt more than democrats by a HUGE margin.

    You understand that everything I said is a demonstrable fact right? The data shows the economy trending upward at the same pace for 9 years. That is in no way debatable. Republicans slashed revenues with their tax cuts, and we have sky rocketing deficits again. This is also in no way debatable.

    Revenue is up. Our debt has never gone away, in fact obama doubled it adding more alone then every president combined. The deficit is also smaller today then this time when obama and the left had congress.

    lol
    the economy always does better under democrats. Where are these unemployed people going to get capital to start a business? Where are these people supposed to get jobs? How will hundreds of thousands of jobs suddenly become available for them?

    Right now the construction industry has hundreds of thousands of well paying jobs that are going unfilled because they cannot find people willing to work.

    There is a lot of work out there if one is not lazy or stupid as a stump, which is commonly the result of laziness.

    revenue increases year over year, unless there is a recession. Cutting taxes, cuts revenues. Math can be hard, I know.
    Obama isn't even in the top 3 when it comes to increasing the debt.

    yes, we know how republican incompetence effects the economy. It causes high deficits. Obama had to deal with that, and turn things around.

    That have zero to do with our discussion so please focus on what you've said. By the way, there are manufacturing jobs such as Carrier, GM and Harley that is moving overseas, so not everyone is on board with the snake oil that Trump is selling. Those that are coming back are heavily dependent on automation.

    Tariff on steel is going to slowdown the construction boom. Developers are starting to reevaluate any expansion.

    Revenue is up...thanks for highlighting my point.

    I didn’t say he was just that he added a lot to it

    The GOP didn’t create obama’s High deficits. They weren’t in power then, when they did take office they started to come down.
