Craig, the figure seems to be 7.9 trillion. Your stretching doesn't matter. I haven't lain awake nights fretting about it. It's Republicans who rage against the debt until they're in a position to trade it for a chance to reward their donors. Kansas has been a disaster, but who cares, right?
This is a shining example of the dishonesty and hypocrisy practiced by those of the Liberal Left. Never do you hear the likes of rocky mtn bill, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, et al whining about the fact that Liberal Left anti-gun Democrat Barack Hussein Obama single-handedly nearly doubled the Nation's debt and exploded Budget Deficits in only 8 years.
Yet all of a sudden, they are crying about the "Armageddon" that will result if Donald Trump's tax cuts become law, because according to them, the reduction in tax revenues will cause an additional $1.5 trillion to be added to the National Debt. They have sudden;y become fiscal hawks, and don't even want to consider that more jobs and a stronger manufacturing sector will result in more tax revenues overall.
I also find it beyond hilarious to see rocky mtn bill once again denigrating one of craigd's posts as being "an incomprehensible diatribe." It was bad enough that Bill has problems comprehending craig's subtle sarcasm. But I suppose that Bill would like us to forget that a great many of his past posts were laced with misspelled words and egregious grammatical errors that made them nearly incomprehensible. It appears that he finally got one of the grandkids to show him how to use a spell-checker. Bill, the retired English teacher must think we've all forgotten how many times I and others corrected him, and took him to task for being so incompetent at his own profession, and suggesting that he didn't deserve his taxpayer-funded teacher's pension. It was so bad, that I was pretty sure that Bill must have taught nca225 and dla (sic) to write and spell.
Please Dave... don't bring back Misfires. This forum gains nothing from debates with hypocrites and mentally ill Liberal liars who frequently deny their own words and deeds. But a thread like this once in a while is useful to demonstrate that there are anti-2nd Amendment back-stabbers and Trojan Horses within the ranks of gun owners. If you support abortion and the work of abortion doctors, you cannot say you are pro-life. And if you support anti-gun Liberal Left Democrats, you cannot possibly honestly claim to be pro-gun. Period!
