When interest was a lot higher than now I borrowed to buy assets looking to profit from use and appreciation. Worked great. Good for you. But no one loaned you that money without expecting a payback. We just keep borrowing and printing money. And the effect on the poor has been devastating. Why do you hate poor people? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But no one loaned you that money without expecting a payback. and nobody buys government bonds without getting it paid back either....what is your point? Levered investing has a place in government. As a Republican you should know, because throughout recent history Republicans do so much more of it than Democrats. If you want measured and restraint deficits, history should have taught you to vote Democrat. 10 year net debt approved: Trump: $8.4 trillion Biden: $4.3 trillion It isn't even really close... Are you really concerned about debt and deficit spending? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are two reasons someone might vote for Trump after seeing the last eight years- 1. They really do support his policies, which include racist and misogynist attacks on the US populace 2. They are simply misinformed. From what I've seen there are far more of 2) than there are of 1). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many that just see low taxes as the key to the GOP. They hate Washington and starving it of money is seen as a wrecking ball to woke or democrat ideals. As such IMO they may be equal.

Between voters who want to have their cake and eat it too. Politicians who can't say no. An indifference to national deficit spending and debt in general. A federal reserve that is ready to pick up any slack in keeping everything greased. I agree those people are misinformed. Sorry Brent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As compared to the whole MAGA universe? Where your hero, trump stated that his rambling, disjointed speeches have a calculated purpose? "Trump: You know, I do the weave. You know the weave? I weave stories together. Friends of mine that are, like, English professors, they say it's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen" "James Shapiro, a professor of English at Columbia University, told The New York Times: “I read Trump’s comment bragging that ‘I do the weave.’ I take him at his word, as one of the Oxford English Dictionary definitions of ‘weave’ is ‘to pursue a devious course.’” Devious course? No its the function of an old brain that ceased to function decades ago. About when he surrounded himself with yes men and women. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Trump cannot even manage to baffle with bullshit these days. Captain All Caps just screams incoherently while his campaign despairs. Did you see that he admitted that he felt he had "every right" to interfere with the election when he incited that riot? That's not baffling. It's just an admission of a crime.
