    The only limit to the US governments ability to spend is politically imposed . Economically, they have no spending constraint in terms of the US dollar.

    The best thing that could happen in America is for Trump to spend up and spend up big. Because a lack of spending is precisely why their economy has been in the shit for so many years.

    Spending up big is the worst thing that could happen in America. The idea that the US doesn't have to repay its debts is absurd and dangerous. Such an idea would see interest rates soar and certainly set off a global recession.

    Get off Facebook and Twitter my brother.
    There's a big wide world out there and today it said enough is enough.

    Of course you loved Obamas policy laden campaign back in '08 didn't you..........what was it Hope and Change or Change and Hope I forget?

    I have been disappointed by Obama's centrist policies and lack of progressivism from the Democratic Party over the last 8 years. But I also acknowledge the incredibly hypocrisy of conservatives pointing their finger at Obama for America's issues when they've controlled the house, Senate and Supreme Court for the past 4 years. They're upset about where the country is heading but their hands are all over the wheel.

    I wish a journalist had asked Trump - "how does a bill get passed?" You know what? He'd have no idea at all, and this man is about to become President of the United States. This level of ineptitude and inexperience is unprecedented. I mean come on, the man can barely string a sentence together let alone comprehend complex issues like healthcare, immigration, trade and foreign policy.

    And I don't need facebook or twitter to know that climate change isn't a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese and that bragging of sexual assault makes one unqualified for office.

    He'll certainly have to employ a few engineers to work out how he's going to build the wall through the many rivers that cross the border, because he's provided no answers to that so far.

    aaaahhhh the old "republicans controlled the house chestnut. I love that one. Did it ever occur that the Republicans got control in the mid terms because of the ineffective nature of the Obama administration for the first 4 years when he had control of everything?

    As for the intricacies of legislation? Geez mate id bet good money the bloke has never laid a brick in his life but he gets some pretty big buildings made.
    You think any major leader knows the ins and out of parliamentary business? No, thats why the likes of 'The Fixer' Pyne and Snot nosed Burke are called "leaders of Govt/opposition business" in the house. Its called delegation, leaders lead, then they delegate. Its how shit gets done. Plenty of well paid boffins on the hill will be more than ready to show the Donald they way through.


    oh, and I don't know you, but Trump is richer, more educated and has better hair than you. deal with it.

    this whole thing and the last 10 years of the internet age of politics really reinforces that people will believe any bullshit you put in front of them.

    There's definitely an element of Obama dissatisfaction (and rightfully so) about that. Did it occur to you that the Republicans mainly control the house because of the outrageous gerrymandering that the GOP has executed in recent years?

    As for the "experts" he'll defer to to lead effectively, I point to his response when asked who will advise him on foreign policy - "My primary consultant is myself." The man is a narcissist of the highest order, and seems incapable of listening to others. Everything Trump has done so far indicates that even if he were able to identify the most knowledgeable people in the world on any subject, he probably wouldn’t listen to them anyway.

    As for being richer and having better hair - no doubt. But a BS from Wharton University...please

    Would love to hear his rationale. Unlike Trump supporters, I'm happy to listen to logical evidence and use that to update my position on any subject. Not just get worked into a frenzy over a stupid four world slogan.

    Trump's plan to get rid of America's enormous debt:

    1. Spend billions on the military
    2. Spend billions on infrastructure
    3. Deport thousands of people
    4. ???
    5. Profit

    He knows what he's doing though, right? He's a successful businessman. Oh and he's not Hillary!

    To be fair the last bloke didn't do much better.
    Also expect the Trump sympathisers to read from the Jets playbook, "I inherited a bad economy/squad" etc.

    Plus in that whole god damned 2 year campaign national debt commanded what seemed like 1% of the oxygen on both sides. They both argued they'd do it by growing the economy, but had no detail.

    A lot has to be learned from how Hillary blew this. The most qualified person ever to run got whipped by the least qualified. Simply astonishing.

    Yeah look one thing we all have to remember about any public figure is that regardless of what we assume, we really don't know them and have no idea what these people are really like.
    Your opinion is derived from consuming whichever brand of media and information you choose to believe about them.
    And that's fine, but it doesn't make it so.

    This is straight out of that Will Ferrell Zach Galifianakis movie The Campaign. Time to make America great again.

    Such an underrated, funny movie.
    Will Ferrell is exactly what Hillary Clinton looked like to a lot of people.
