We Are So Screwed 2016

[Robert Barney]

So Romney was not voting for the same old same old?

Would Romney have been a better President than Obama, YES.

Or do you disagree?

I did not say I asked you to become a citizen of my country. I said you raised your hand and asked us to allow you to become American. We granted that to you. I assume you are grateful. I certainly am grateful my grandparents had the wisdom and fortitude to come here.

I took you literally. The only time I raised my hand was to take the oath.

Yes, VERY grateful to be here. Canada is in worse shape than the U.S., in all kinds of ways. But another decade of the shiite that's been happening here, and we may pass Canada.

At least I have the right to bear arms, but then there's Hillary and her ilk, so that could come to an end.

You have the right to be wrong about my personal decisions.

I'm sorry, but your "personal decision" affects the rest of us, so please exercise your franchise with care. While it is possible to serve your country, and your service is appreciated, it is also possible to screw it up.

You win, I guess. Since I still think we are screwed I am not sure what you won. But you win.

I think Trump has the skills to deal with the problem/challenge. There is a good chance he could turn the ship.

Hillary will simply drive us straight into the iceberg.

I'm not ready to give up on the country just yet. I'm sorry that there are so many who are.

FOR Trump.

The country is BANKRUPT. It's just that the creditors have not foreclosed.

Who better to handle a bankruptcy than Trump.

We will NEVER balance this budget by cutting spending alone. We need to GROW the economy, and FAST. No more of this BS "no" to pipelines, coal, whatever. We need it all, and we need it all NOW.

Trump will deliver on that.

And there is no national security if you can't pay for soldiers and weapons.

Trump is EXACTLY what we need. I am shocked that anyone who does business, can't see that.

What's your big beef, that he's arrogant and crass?

Whoopee whoop.

Not sure if having been through bankruptcy should be seen as a good thing.

 

[Robert Barney]

Not sure if having been through bankruptcy should be seen as a good thing.

Wow. Do you think ANYONE gets into any business planning to go bankrupt? Do you think the idiots in Washington planned to bankrupt us. Sometime shiite happens, and you are up against it. Trump has been through it, and understands it, and that is VERY important to deal with the mess we have gotten ourselves into.

Hillary knows how to stick her hand out.

Technically speaking the government of the United States can never be bankrupt.

Technically speaking the government of the United States can never be bankrupt.

What about if we elect Hillary?

That means we will have a president who is morally bankrupt.

Does that count?

 

[Robert Barney]

Yes, you are correct. The government can simply inflate the value of the dollar until the currency is completely worthless, fixing the debt by bankrupting everyone who holds the currency. Then the government can roll out a new currency to replace the old currency.

And after that no one will lend that government a dime, for the next half a century, and all the BS deficit spending will come to a sudden, crashing halt.

Yep, that is so much better than a bankruptcy.

Only a liberal would argue that there is no day of reckoning for fiscal stupidity.

I'm pretty sure morals are not very important to orange, and if they are, should only be a concern about Trump.

The Comrade has always been a big supporter of he Revolution in Venezuela and his homeboy Hugo Chavez.

That has not been working out particularly well, especially since people ate all the animals at the Caracas Zoo to survive. But hey, it SHOULD work out well according to the socialist playbook, and that's what matters.

Inflation is bit out of control there too. Keep in mind that the 1500% forecast
for next year comes on top of 700% for this year and this year- let us just say- is not the first year inflation has been up. Pretty soon it adds up, eh? Perhaps the Comrade could suggest a stimulus program for them.

Inflation in Venezuela seen hitting 1,500% in 2017 as crisis goes from bad to worse

While all that may be true, and fit the pattern of every other government economic failure, and the accompanying economic misery, orange will be delighted to point out that it's not bankruptcy.

Tell that to the poor saps living in that country. It would be such a comfort for them to know that it's not bankruptcy.

Technically the government raises capital by selling bonds, not applying for loans of ten cents.
