Just keep repeating your talking points without actually learning anything.

Anyway, some tips for the MOOCH


Im going to let Trump do his thing. Im sure as hell not going to be a shill for the establishment.

I am going to enjoy watching people who have despised the establishment their whole lives become shills for them. That in itself is priceless entertainment.

Trump is the establishment. May not be the old establishment but establishment none the less. Packed his cabinet with Wall street cronies, evangelical crooks and his own family. He is doing out in the open what every party in power has ever done under cover.

Yes... he was elected to GOVERN the country. He has no clue as to how to do it. He might be able to do ok in the business world......but that is a whole different ball game. The business world has one focus : the bottom line. Governing a nation has a focus of doing what is best for an entire population. the budget is NB......but creating a country that has a high standard and quality of life for EVERYONE is the role of a governing administration........and has to follow certain principles and ethics accomplishing that


What is interesting in this whole mess is that the Republicans hold the democrats to a much higher standard then they do themselves. Their current behavior under Trump is evidence of that.

If a Democratic leader behaved this way....... The republican lynch mob would be out in full force

It is time the government was run like a business instead of a playground for righ insiders to scam the peons.

Do you even understand that the purpose of a business is to make money? Including throwing overboard anybody who isn't making money right now?

Is that how you want the government to run?

It's being proven that a shadow government is closer to democracy than an anti-establishment candidate.

Only took a few months for the rest of the world to recoil in horror about how ridiculous that platform is.

If only they paid attention to the moron that was Blob Ford, they couldn't learned that lesson earlier.

Love to see the proof on that one.

Please, do share

There is the real problem. Government MUST be run like a business otherwise it will fail. Just look at the accumulated debt from not running it like a business.

Well put... tater tot has further mortgaged the futures of young (and yet to be) Canadians.... No different than his flaky old man

Should it make a profit?

How does the military make a profit?

The IT dept for any company doesn't make a profit either.

Any thoughts on why companies still fund these money losing depts?

Bingo.

No accountability and a bunch of part time, substitute dwama teachers running around having date-nite in London and Tokyo at the tax payers expense

Western gvts appear to be currently operating at the other end of that extreme.

I put the question to you, is that how you want them to operate?

Well, I can see your point there. So, the US and NATO should pull out of all foreign operations, because they aren't causing any loss to us.


And your medicare costs should only be covered to the amount of provincial sales tax you personally pay, everything on top of that should come out of your pocket.


That's a good start.

Getting their noses out of other people's business would be a good start.Too often the US military has been used to promote business interests of government insiders.

So I should be getting a rebate on my income tax then.

Yes. The purpose of government is to support and enable the prosperity of everyone. Obviously the most prosperous half of society doesn't need as much support as the least prosperous half. Do you see any sense in the notion that an Olympic weightlifter should receive exactly the same amount of assistance in carrying groceries as a frail grandmother receives?

That sounds like the government being run like a business.

"Republican In Name Only." It's what the far-right calls the bulk of the party.

It's what Republicans without a conscience call Republicans with any sliver of a conscience.
