    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    Total spending proposed is about what it was last year. Just shifts money around. And doesn't include tax cuts or his infrastructure spending.

    the overall proposed spending is about on par with last year, at $4.1 trillion

    Trump's government is trying to root out liberty as we speak, it is not easy. He could use a little help, do you have any spare time to shill for liberty?

    Uh, no, that's not what I said at all.

    I said that listening to the deep state mainstream media is moronic. I did NOT say that what the Trump admin is saying is accurate.

    That depends on whether you get your information from the deep state mainstream media or the Trump administration.
    So, if you "get your information from the...Trump administration", you're getting accurate information, right?

    ...while if you get your information from "the deep state mainstream media," you aren't?

    The first year is not an increase. the actual money spent it the same, despite the Fed increasing the money supply. I think they increase it at least 2% per year. If you are a real libertarian, you should know long term projections are BS.

    Let's review the options:

    A) Argue about the meaning of words like "cut", "spending", "military", "entitlement", "increase", and "budget"
    B) Tell us that their authoritarian idol really didn't mean what he said
    C) Tell us that this is a brilliant move in a game of 3-D chess that only trumpettes are capable of understanding
    D) Tell us that it's ok because obomba did it first
    E) Tell us that it's ok because it would have been horrible if clinton had done the very same thing
    F) Tell us that this is what Liberty and Freedom really mean
    G) Call CPUd names

    Just like every politician, not spending as much as was requested is the same as a 'cut'....

    It doesn't matter which parties clown is at the helm the vernacular is identical....

    The first year is a budget cut, because spending is about the same, but the Fed increases the money supply by 2% each year (or more). The other years are irrelevant, long term projections are BS.

    Trump is different, he put in department heads in advance who are asking for real cuts up front. The media usually focuses on what the department head wants because he is the "expert". Trump has again turned the tables on the big government media.

    Cut Taxes and Cut spending, when Reagan cut the taxes revenue increased the debt went up also though because spending wasn't cut. Cut the military spending not defense spending. March the troops back home, and stop intervening in the middle east, and funding terrorism.

    This is a bigger tax cut than Reagan's, at least what Trump proposed.

    Trump will bring most of the troops home. Trump is using the demand-side strategy to cut military spending. The supply-side tactic never works.

    When the debt started to soar following the tax cuts he signed, Reagan then also signed what was at the time the biggest tax INCREASE in US history (under the guise of not raising tax rated but closing "loopholes" (deductions).

    With Trump's plan, total spending is not being reduced either. Increases in military spending are off-setting cuts in other programs. The "$1.3 trillion in cuts" is a reduction from potential increases taken over a decade- no actual, numeric reductions from where we are right now.

    I like reading the fake news and troll-stream media because it gives me a good idea of what other people think. I remember how long before I joined this forum I was a lurker and just read those comments and they infuriated me enough to join this forum to refute them. I thought about all of the potential people reading this forum. Plus sometimes old-timers members will correct me when I am wrong on things, unless i piss them off too bad -I am always open to new ideas.

    No idea what you're talking about.



    I think this is more selective (mis)interpretation of Trump's ravings. The man is a political Ouija board - His supporters always seem to find the things that they want to hear in amongst all of the nonsense that pours out of the man's mouth.

    No idea what you're talking about.
    "the supply side tactic never works" = attempt to justify Trump's huge increase in military spending

    "Trump is using the demand side strategy" = speculation that Trump will end wars to reduce the need for military spending

    ...after first increasing military spending, of course.

    I hear you, but they'll be fed regardless (by each other, if necessary), so I figure it's best to refute them for the sake of the lurkers.

    Or maybe I'm just a masochist.

    I hear y'all, but no reasonable person reading this thread will be swayed by Trolileo Trolilei's claim that 4,094 or 5,708 is smaller 4,062. And you aren't going to change anyone who when being shown Trump's own proposal direct from the White House website several times by several members is simply pretending it isn't so and trying to gaslight people. If you stop giving trolls like them attention they will either move on, or have severely reduced power.
