I support Trump

The definition of liberal is not "grows the size and scope of federal government."

As a rough working definition, yeah, the notion that the government needs to expand in size - especially in domestic social spending - and scope - especially in controlling or limiting our choices, is a pretty good "thumb test" for liberalism. Certainly it isn't conservatism.

The PATRIOT Act does that too. Is the PATRIOT Act "liberal"?

Security is one of the proper functions of government. Telling us what kind of insurance we have to buy isn't. Telling us we aren't allowed to not support things like Birth Control isn't. Making it more expensive for us to work full time isn't.

If you went by policies, rather than pundits, you'd understand how i can say that.

Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words :

Why do you post charts like this and not put it in context? Do you know what public debt is and that it is part of the total debt? Do you realize that 1.7 trillion dollar Reagan debt in today's dollars would be 3.5 trillion vs. Obama's 8.6 trillion debt in today's dollars?

For some reason people like you ignore context in an effort to make Obama look good. Why don't you put GDP growth in percentage change? Why don't you put employment and unemployment in percentage change? You pick and choose what data you want to put into percentage change ignoring what even makes up percentage change. Reagan left the country with 2.6 trillion in debt on a 5.2 trillion dollar economy but that doesn't get put into percentage of GDP, wonder why? Could it be that Obama is going to leave the country with a 20 trillion dollar debt on a 19 trillion dollar economy?

Not sure what it is going to take to get liberals like you to understand the data you post because you do this often on different threads
 

It really is a shame that we have two candidates like Trump and Hillary but there isn't anything that Trump has done that is worse than Hillary and I will be voting for Trump in the General Election because in this country today it is time for some tough love which Trump offers this country and the world. Hillary is an incompetent lying opportunist appealing to the ignorance of the American people and American idol voter where popularity is measured by what you say and not what you do. Hillary's accomplishments are a joke, she has held numerous positions but nothing significant in terms of accomplishments as she continues to cling to the coattails of her husband which she has done in ever position held.
