Like Newt Gingrich did?  Actually neither of them did: it was accounting tricks.  They robbed Social Security by moving welfare cases to SS disability.  They needed to arrange for them to all have disabilities.  It wasn’t hard to do; that’s why we have so many disabilities now.

 

Now these guys aren’t even talking about balancing the budget.

​John what kind of reputation do you think Hilliary has given her party?  Come on, say it John, you know what I am thinking.

What happens when interest rates go back up?  With a debt this size, we will devour our entire revenue just paying interest.  This will not be good.
