See here is the great leap in flawed logic I see. You may well be right, I probably even agree with you for the need for change.


But just because they need change is Trump really the best agent for that change?

Again, how is Trump planning to deal with this?

Bojack...perhaps there might be someone better qualified out there than Donald Trump.

But Trump knows how to run a business and make it profitable. He sure as hell will knows how to deal with the indescribable national debt of America.

For starters he is going to slap the all pervasive China with a 45% tariff and then lower corporate tax in America by 30%. This is called making America able to compete again.

Its all well and good to get cheap Chinese goods but eventually the price we will all pay is that China will own everyone's arse and I do mean everyone.

The U.S. need a radical change of direction - Donald Trump will provide just that

Trump is Isolationist and will pull America back from the unwinnable wars in the Middle East

Hilary Clinton will ramp up the war wagon (still) if she makes it

I can't see a single thing Hillary Clinton has stated that makes it appealing to vote her in...not one

Index funds are friend, not foe.
Trump’s net worth has grown about 300% to an estimated $4 billion since 1987, according to a report by the Associated Press. But the real estate mogul would have made even more money if he had just invested in index funds. The AP says that, if Trump had invested in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion.

So not that great

Over the past 8 years Trump has made hundreds of millions..over the past 8 years Obama doubled the national debt of America trillions of dollars. (Today’s Federal Debt of the U.S.A. is $19,790,136,330,003.19.)


I rest my case

Haha  Ann Coulter just posted the following on Twitter

If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were allowed to vote, Trump would in a 50 state landslide.


Seriously.

You Aussies are obsessed with this election.


OBSESSED

The first bill President Obama signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, to help women fight back when they don't get equal pay for equal work.

His Recovery Act supported millions of jobs and helped to stave off a second Great Depression.

He pushed for and won middle class tax cuts that benefited every American worker, and saved the typical family $3,600 in taxes over the last four years.

He doubled funding for Pell Grants, helping to make college more affordable for nearly 10 million families.

His student loan reform ended billions in subsidies to banks serving as middlemen and reinvested those savings directly in students.

The President established the American Opportunity Tax Credit, worth up to $10,000 over four years of college.

His Race to the Top Initiative helped spur nearly every state to raise academic standards.

His tax cuts, social-welfare programs, and economic policies lifted nearly 7 million Americans above the federal poverty line in 2010.

President Obama has signed more 18 tax cuts for small businesses since taking office.

The unemployment rate is at 4.9%

Health care reform—passed after decades of failed attempts by every previous president—provides affordable health coverage to every American and will lower premiums by an average of $2,000 per family by 2019.

Obamacare expanded access to lifesaving preventive care such as cancer screenings and immunizations with no out-of-pocket costs for 54 million Americans.

Obamacare ends insurance discrimination against the 129 million Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Because of Obamacare, over 3 million more young adults have health insurance today than would if the new law hadn't passed.

The parents of over 17 million children with pre-existing conditions no longer have to worry that their children will be denied coverage.

President Obama has ordered the overhaul of federal government regulations to make them smarter, practical, and more efficient. Just a fraction of these common-sense initiatives will help save businesses $10 billion in the next five years alone.

His investments in clean energy have helped more than double the amount of electricity America obtains from wind and solar sources and helped increase biofuel production to its highest level in history.

Obama is doubled fuel efficiency standards, which will save drivers more than $8,000 at the gas pump, not to mention lessen the impact of automobiles on our environment.

Obama took unprecedented action to address climate change, reaching historic international agreements to curb carbon emissions, and taking action in America to reduce carbon pollution from vehicles and promote clean energy production.

He has taken action to protect our environment—signing one of the largest expansions of protected wilderness in a generation and putting in place standards to reduce toxic air pollution that will save thousands of lives.

President Obama fought for and won landmark Wall Street reform that reins in the abuses that led to the financial crisis and ends the era of taxpayer bailouts and "too big to fail."

Wall Street reform created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the nation's first federal agency focused solely on consumer financial protection—and the Bureau is already protecting families from unfair and abusive financial practices from Wall Street banks and shadowy corners of the financial industry.

Obama's all-of-the-above approach to energy has helped cut the United States' dependence on foreign oil to its lowest level in 20 years.

Obama rallied the international community to implement the toughest sanctions on Iran in history.

Through the President's historic increases in Veterans Affairs funding, he has expanded and improved healthcare and job training access for returning veterans.

Obama negotiated the New START Treaty with Russia to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in both countries. At the same time, he also secured commitments from dozens of other countries to lock down nuclear materials.

His administration naturalized 11,146 military service members as U.S. citizens in 2010; more than in any year since 1955.

He affirmed his personal support of marriage equality, directed the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA in federal courts, and took the practical and compassionate step of extending hospital visitation rights to same-sex partners.

He repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", allowing gay and lesbian members of the military to serve openly for the first time in history.

This one is for you Red, a top American cop backs Trump.

Raven is totally incorrect...where does  'printing money' come from. Perhaps the same place as Hillary Clinton declaring a tax on the rich will solve America's debt problem..what a total joke that is and...she has said that.

Trumps plan is as I have said already in this site...place 45% tariff on imported goods..particularly read China.  Then...reduce company tax by 30%. This will stimulate industry to grow and be able to compete again.

That means growth of industry in the U.S. that means jobs and that transfers into profits and that means the U.S. reaps a broad based tax windfall as a result of a growing economy...Raven would you care to tell me what part of that plan involves 'printing money'...really where do you get this stuff.

Now by doing this America will not default on its debts. The government can print more money to repay the debts, which would cause inflation but not a default.

45% tariff on China? No doubt a president Trump will threaten them with it, then decide it won't be necessary. This will be announced shortly after the hundreds of millions of dollars he owes the Chinese government has been miraculously written off.

It's not much of a case. Obama inherited an economy in deep recession and on the verge of DEPRESSION. To have fixed that and created a now growing economy is a massive acheivement. Yes, it cost money, but trying to not spend money is what made the great depression last ten years. Spending money is what ended it.
