    Increase the debt for 6 months to get past the midterms. That's practically.. Democratic.

      Probably better than depleting the strategic petroleum reserve.

      And to your question, no. Why should there be any shame associated with lowering taxes?

      I love you long time.

              ^^^^--The Thread---

              "Into each life a little rain must fall."

              Maybe I'm a Cool-Ade drinker but I believe those Iranian Ayatollah are BS crazy and they will destroy the world if they aren't stopped. I think Trump's doing the right thing--not perfect and in his own self serving way. (And in this case--mostly I think he's a psychopath.) But in the end he's making the world a better and safer place.

                  I agree too, just wish he'd get on with it! Finish it before his term is up.

                    The concept is fine. I think it's fair to say that the implementation has been rather eccentric.

                    I was only joking

                        Indeed. Despite all media appearances promoting Teddy Roosevelt in the starring role, it would seem that in reality George B. McClellan is both Producer and Director of the show.
