re: If we can't reduce the debt with a booming economy, we never will

Trump doesn't control what Congress does. He wants to cut spending just as he wanted to cut taxes. But Congress only came through on the second one.

The answer to this problem is we need more conservatives. Not just Republicans. RINO's are only looking out for themselves, and the only difference between themselves and liberals is that RINO's are a little more moderate.

The Democrats now have the House, but without the Senate, there isn't anything they can actually do. So they are just going to ramp up their insanity for the next two years, and I believe that is going to crush them in the next election. At that point, I believe we'll begin to see huge bites taken out of the deficit, with a much more conservative House.
