How is Trumps debt good?

What makes you think Trump has added any debt or that it is good? Ha's he increased spending? Generally debt for infrastructure is considered good debt while debt for social programs would be bad debt.

that would be true if spending were reduced an equal amount - but alas that is where the $9 trillion in new debt is coming from.

How do you know spending isn't being reduced or other revenues are expected to make upon the shortfall?

Indeed, has "he" done anything?


So debt for infastruture is good?

Is this what you are saying.....

Think about it before you answer.

Of course infrastructure debt is good debt, if you wish to call any debt good. Simply because there is something solid to show for it and a fixed repayment schedule so we know with certainly when that project is paid for. The problems only arise when some one stretches the definition of infrastructure From needed roads, water and public buildings to buying things like bad art at inflated prices for someones office or statues. And note that I said needed, not legacys.

This bill was written by lobbyists and Paul Ryan. If anybody thinks it will help anybody but the ultra rich has their head up their butts, like Wally and taxslave.

As to what Trump has done: Mostly got all the lefties little panties twisted in knots and got all the parasites on the dole worried about their future.

Don't you get tired of being a parasite?

The myth of the trickle down
Republican sheeple still believe this shit.

Kinda ironic that the Pope points this out as the Vatican cup runneth over but still nothing reaches the poor.

That's right Wally, you senile old republican sheeple, the republicans are dismantling your previous empire and you believe they are doing to benefit morons like you. Sad!

The trickle down was the fairy tale that Reagan told them and they still believe in it.

While they were busy believing in it the American national debt spun out of control

Voodoo economics.

The poorest spend any extra money in local economies

The rich, if they spend, may not be north of the equator..
