So...that's a NO? You might want to look at Obama and Clinton's deficits. Don't get tripped up on debt. It's two different things.

No they don’t, but conservatives do. Normal people do. No one in congress does.

This is an attempt to buy votes with taxpayer money.  While it will appeal to the idiots that chose a liberal arts degree and can't find a job that pays over $40,000 a year maybe they could afford to pay off their student loans.  The only people that will be for this are students with the loans, and the dingbat Communist/Socialists.  The rest of America won't vote for her over it.  It won't be just because she's a woman either.

Well I can tell you that I won't vote for her because she is a woman, I have never and will never vote for a woman to be President. They are just too emotional to be President. And that include Nikki Haley, My daughters, or my mother. But that is just who I am when it comes to the Presidency. Outside of that one true fault of mine, I believe that woman can do whatever else they want to do, including choosing what they do with their bodies.

Have I ever said on here that I'm Republican? Let me clarify: I think of myself politically as an Independent Conservative.

I understand the difference between the debt and the deficit. I don't need a lecture from you on it, Barry. Though I may not be as "educated" as you (I don't possess a college degree), I'm probably smarter and more knowledgeable than you give me credit for.

But maybe some of your Democratic friends need a lesson on the Debt (not the deficit), so I'll leave this here:

It's funny how a liberal that loves big government says "don't get tripped up on debt. It's two different things". 

So I guess that every year there is a deficit, it doesn't add to the debt? So if there is a surplus, like when billy got there in the late 1990s, that doesn't decrease the debt? I am pretty sure the deficit and the debt go hand in hand, but I am sure Barry, you and the other liberals can't see that. 

Quick Math lesson:

If you spend more than you make, you have a deficit. If you don't pay that money back at the end of the year--you have debt, because of the deficit. 

So if you make 10,000 and spend 12,000 you have a deficit, if you don't repay that 2000 dollar deficit, it means you have debt, if that debt is on a credit card and you pay interest on the debt--that means you are increasing you debt another way, besides overspending. 

 

Just imagine if the US government had budget surpluses every year, they could pay down the debt. But NO ONE in either party wants that, because they want to keep spending OUR money. And then Barry, you wonder why people can't stand the thought of raising taxes for your social programs, because it will add to the deficit, which in turn will add to the debt. "two different things", liberals mindset, SSDD, SMFH!!!!!

Which means that the government is spending more than they are taking in. But here is the funny thing, you want to blame it on President Trump only. Well if you have read the constitution, it tells you that congress is in charge of appropriations. The President can send over a budget, but congress does NOT have to follow it, they just have to have a 2/3 majority on their budget to over ride a veto. But since neither party gives a  about cutting spending, we will continue to have deficits, which will continue to lead to more debt overall. But hey, you keeping thinking they are 2 different things. SMFH. 

[BarryLaverty]

No comment on how while Obama certainly had some very large deficits, as we came out of the recession, under him it leveled very much downward as a trend and how under Trump it has shot upward? No analysis of that, insight? The Republicans don't care anymore, because it's not a political football, and they are following along in Trump's wake, could be said, right?

True...but why the continued unwavering support of Trump if this is an important issue? Did it become less so? 

[DannyZuco]

Yes and Obama added 8-10 trillion in debt while having these deficits. I argued then that the political parties weren't doing enough, I have said the same thing since the 1980s, they don't want to end spending, they want to keep taking and spending, it doesn't matter which political party. Bill Clinton is only one to have surpluses, why, because he cut 100K government jobs from the federal government--which is by far the biggest killer to any budget any where. I don't care who is in office, the spending comes from Congress, then Presidents sign off on it, meaning we haven't had a president with nads to fight them with smaller budgets in decades. But feel free to blame everything on President Trump, because that is what good liberals do, blame everyone but themselves for the lack of fiscal responsibility. 

But thank the history of Presidents for adding debt to the American taxpayers, and your blessed obama for adding more debt to this country in 8 years than every president before him did since 1789. That is a great record to have, but I am sure it'll be broken, and maybe by President Trump, which means no one gives a darn about the taxpayer, except to take their money.

While I support some of this President's actions, I do NOT support all of them, I am still against him NOT reducing deficits, especially when more tax dollars are going into the federal government because of the good economy, more workers in the work place, and tax cuts, or him being pro life, that doesn't matter to me, as much as protecting our nation, whether from foreign invasions or terrible trade deals that do NOT benefit the USA. And I won't vote for him again in this election, I will vote for the one person that I trust in the White House, and we all know who that is.........LOL.

The big problem I have with this is that I never finished college. I went to 1 semester years ago, then a "vo-tech" type of school to get basic programming skills. I've scratched and clawed to get where I am. I've taken a couple of college courses off and on, but even if I wanted to finish, it would still be years away.

So I learn within my field. And I make pretty good money. I have a son who is just a few years from college. I wouldn't qualify for "free" college for him, because I "make too much". But I would probably be paying for other people's kid's college -- and my own son's college.
