"one GDP in debt" is a meaningless number.  The US government's debt is 19.3 trillion on a ~3 trillion dollar government income.  If being one year in debt is bad then being 6.43 years in debt must be even worse.  This is like having a $100,000 salary and owing $643,333 in debt.  With that kind of debt, the US's FICO score would probably be in the low 300s (300 is the minimum).

Unsustainable?  No, regrettably this is very sustainable for a long time.  But it sucks money from people to do it and the ones it impacts the hardest is the poor and middle class.

It is sustainable now ONLY because interest rates are close to 1%, and the debt service is STILL being paid for with borrowed money.

What happens when the Treasury yields start moving up to 2%?  What about 4%, 6%, or more?

Trump is no Reagan. Reagan was the standard bearer for the conservative movement long before he ran for president.

That being said, we are saddled with Trump, and as of today he's the only one who can bring Hillary down.

Why are you stunned?  You knew which position he would take merely due to the parties in question.

As a liberal, Asechrest tends to be more thoughtful and fair and balanced. In my experience he is no partisan hack.  Thus my shock at his take on the two statements.

So we are to believe she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, holds events with the public (not clear if bacterial pneumonia which IS both common and contagious, or fungal which is very uncommon and not contagious), and does not apparently undergo treatment (or hydration) until after she faints in public....

Sorry, does not add up - but wouldn't be the first time the Clinton camp treats we mere peons like easily duped brainless morons.

'Gimp

Since her campaign said the pneumonia was being passed around the campaign staff before Hillary caught it, you have to conclude it was contagious, and therefore bacterial.

You can then conclude that she is either extremely irresponsible in keeping appearances and visiting her daughter and granddaughter while contagious, or she's a lying pice of shit.

Pick one. Or all of the above.

Yeah, Johnson is far more leftist than I would like.  But he also has some views that I can strongly agree with.

Hillary has nothing that I agree with.

I agree with a lot that Trump says, but Trump says an awful lot that he may not really believe.

I think Johnson is honest.  He will admit a mistake whereas Trump will double down on a mistake and Hillary will lie and blame someone else.

Johnson's running mate called AR-15s "weapons of mass destruction." 

Nope. Libertarians are off the option list for me. 

Among all the errors in your post, this stands out most.  No one said race relations are better now;  just the opposite.  Obama et al have reversed the progress that was being made.  And, some believe, intentionally.

It's a cute, childish tactic of the left - pick the timeline that makes the statement ridiculous, then ridicule the statement.

No doubt race relations are better than in 1860 as well. But I think they are much worse since 2008. Much worse.

I had no idea what it was either.

Let's ask Trudeau what he thinks should be done about Oshkosh. It's almost as relevant.

I propose an amendment that says any legislator who passes such a dumb-ass bill in clear violation of the Constitution summarily loses the protections of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments.

Maybe then they'll read the actual fucking documents before passing bills that feeeel good.
