Where's the money going to come from? You guys are the conservatives who typically care about things like the national debt, and yet you celebrate unbounded spending projects. It doesn't make any sense, guys.


Smaller federal government.
Smaller and efficient military.
Small social cuts.

Take all of the revenue from that and put it towards space exploration

I was being serious, believe it or not. How is Trump going to pay for all of these spending projects when he plans on cutting taxes?

Basic math suggests our national debt will grow, even compared to its growth rate during Obama's tenure. And ... to be clear ... this is something that you guys complained about for eight years.

So what gives? You guys are being completely inconsistent. That's not a "smartass" comment, that's an astute observation.

Please tell me what he plans to cut? He hasn't rolled out such a plan yet.

Not sure he's articulated any plans for the military.

He didn't dare mention Social Security during his campaign because many of his supporters depend on it.

Another spending project. You don't sound very conservative. This sounds like FDR.


Not trying to gotcha here.

How does it not sound like FDR? Does the TVA ring a bell? What do you think FDR did? It isn't a gotcha moment. I'm drawing a valid historical parallel.

Trump is going to spend, spend, spend. And cut taxes. Something has to give. You clearly have no answers to that basic question.

I don't know if you just don't have a sense of humor, or just choose to take everything you read on the internet, but his post was a facetious one.

He has. He plans a hiring freeze for federal agencies and will let it shrink through attrition.

He's all about better deals.. and there is serious fat to trim in the military.
