    the right was the one pretending to be concerned about the debt, soon as a white President took over they wee no longer concerned, no longer complained about golfing, vacations, ect....

    your confused, it's Trump closing down government over bipartisan bills that passed Congress in a bipartisan manner

    Trump thought the spending bill was too small

    But as you've learned from other threads, nobody is taking your taxes from you by force. You've voluntarily agreed to the social contract, which part of your obligation is paying taxes. You have known this your entire life, and it's why you continue paying your taxes.

    Well, where is the "tea party" with spending out of control. Not a peep.

    I wouldnt have signed that either but for reasons far different than Trump. My comment that you quoted had nothing to do with that though.

    but the pure beauty of capitalism is that you are free not to buy from Bill Gates and even to encourage others to do the same. In fact you could organize early to not buy from anyone who looked like they were going to be really successful. If you're good you could nip every would-be billionaire in the bud. Do you understand?

    With this comment you show just how out of touch you are. Capitalism is great when regulated. When unregulated and the rich can froth at the mouth for more money, leverage, less tax, hidden income and squeeze the consumer, that is what they do. I make sure to keep in touch by holding down a regular job at 25$ an hour 40 hours a week, usually once every year for a few months during the slow season of my company. I am a trained industrial electrician. I know for a fact what I made 25 years ago, and what I can make today is identical. 20 - 25 an hour with less benefits. I also know that Inflation is far above the 2 CPI.

    As always is the case, there is a paid puppet to preach TODAYS capitalism as if the same as it ever was, it isnt and full of lies. More from you...

    Your wrong, as usual ! I am not free to NOT buy from Gates. I need, must have Excel and WORD, thus must purchase 365 every year. That that I bought with my computer 20 years ago at LIFETIME, is no more. Because they dont support 2000, or XP, I have to move up, forced to do so to run a business.
    The rich are stealing through the FED policy, the representation we have is nothing more than personalities, and people listen to a knucklehead in Trump who is deranged.
    Stop your lies

    I know I stopped crying after Obama doubled the debt from 9 to 19 Trillion. I can't find the words anymore. And the single largest factor creating more debt is the debt we are already trying to service. That democrats don't understand that, laughable. At some point, as we crest 21 Trillion, we start to enter into the world where sovereign debt in the US likely will have to be washed. The Fed Reserve will be destroyed. Sometimes, I don't see that as a bad outcome, and I nominate the US Treasury to take back their role in ensuring the solvency of the US.

    Wait for the state of IL to go bankrupt. They aren't far off. One doesn't take pleasure in their failure, but it must serve as the object lesson that it has to be to demonstrate just how shameless the democratic vision for our nation is.

    You should be smart enough to know that OBAMA did not do that, neither did the republicans that controlled congress, nor Berneke. It was all of the above, along with Geithner, Paulson, Bush, Rreagan, Clinton and Bush Jr puppeting to the scheme, ponzi scheme being ran by the UBER rich to control the people and make them equally poor around the world. I today make the same money I did 25 years ago when working a regular job. Run a successful business on the side, but that has nothing to do with the common plumber, grass cutter, factory worker that has seen zero increase in the face of a doubled Economy price and inflation wise. It is absurd to believe CPI is 2% because a PRIVATE bankster group tells us it is so. When it didnt fit their agenda anymore in 1997, they changed the data input to lower the number. Real inflation is 5 -7% a year for 20 years. That means if you made 20/hr in 1998, today you need to make 47/hr to afford the same life style without mass credit.
    This is why 37M people are 90 days late on their CC payment, and 7M are 90 days late on their car payment. All dumb enough to believe the republican party, Trump, the FED, and big business... There are no overall wage gains, look around, people struggling. Anyone writing anything different is only commenting on his own good fortune and could care less about the country, the people and the welfare of all. Greed is what you live for.

    The Democrats dont understand it ? I thought that is what Trump ran on ? Cutting the budget, cutting costs, he screamed when Obama spent money, now he is pumping money into the forever warts.
    Republicans are just liars, always have been, always will be.

    you should blame liberalism not capitalism. Liberals, with their taxes regulations unions trade deals and budget deficits have driven industry off shore. 90,000 factories closed and now they want open borders so we we'll never get a wage increase again. Do you understand?

    There are options like Apple IBM Redhat etc you are free to buy less from Gates too encourage others to do so or start your own company to compete with Gates if he's so bad.
