In a March 31, 2016, interview with the Washington Post, Donald Trump promised to eliminate the United States' $19 trillion in debt in eight years.
Trump later softened his promise by pledging to reduce a chunk, rather than the totality of debt, in an April 2016 interview with Fortune. Asked by how much, Trump failed to provide a figure.
"It depends on how aggressive you want to be," Trump said. "I'd rather not be so aggressive. Don't forget: We have to rebuild the infrastructure of our country. We have to rebuild our military, which is being decimated by bad decisions. We have to do a lot of things."
How's the reducing the deficit going? Not well, despite a strong economy. What could have possibly gone wrong? Maybe the Republican obsession with tax cuts for the rich.
How's the rebuilding infrastructure going? Not even started. Republicans don't believe in rebuilding infrastructure. They believe in tax cuts for the rich.
Right wing logic is so backwards. Cutting taxes is magically helping? Funny thing is how "much" wages rose after tax cuts. Seems like those decisions are only for the rich and rest can go and f*ck themselves - many times over... Maybe I'm asking stupid questions, but how economy is great while most of workers are pretty much outsiders as they can't benefit from that great economy? Personal experience has zero worth for all out there? Accepting unfair policies is just odd to me.
