  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Most tax and spend Liberals realize that taxing and spending go hand in hand.
And most business people usually know that increasing revenue into your business is kiiiiiiiiiiiind of important.
Cutting the infrastructure of your business is useful in saving money but quite detrimental to the successful functioning of your business (not everything they cut was awakenned; some of it was pretty important).
Isn't it strange that all these purported businessmen and billionaires don't put that into practice when it comes to running a country? Weird.

Kind of hard to know that when the administration cancelled the release that information now. What are they hiding?

There are other sources though. Doesn't look good.

Trump couldn't show a profit with a casino.
The only thing he's managed to market is his name. Nothing he makes ever does well.

Which is all kind of perfect. IT's THE most hollow and superficial aspect of capitalism and it's the ONLY thing trump can do.

It probably would have helped if he had DOGE go to his casino and figure out the problem.

I am.

That's your perspective. DOGE brought me great joy.
TIL that bankrupting a country will bring some people great joy.

Conservatives, ironically....

bankrupting a country


FDR's ponzi scheme was destined to go bankrupt, after it stole the wealth from the American people.

I look forward to the day when the American people will trade their corporate debt notes for sound money.

Lol!
Yeah. FDR...what a loser.

He's only ranked the consistently ranked in the Top 3d best president in American history while the fellow you're supporting is ranked dead last or, at best, 3rd last.

And this is by people who study history who know what they're talking about.

There is something to be said for discernment.

I like Jefferson more.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power [of funny money] should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.

That's great. People who are informed on history, certainly like him...just consistently not quite as much as FDR.

Don't understand why would choose that quote given he is railing on "monied aristocracy" which is Trump.

I've studied the definition of aristocracy. It's difficult to get a deep understanding of economic history without understanding the definition of aristocracy.

Despite what some misguided Left wingers might purport, Trump is not a king.

Can we get back on topic now?

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is not a king.
Lols, left off the first letter when copy/pasting.

Anyway, no one has said he IS a king, only that he would be if he could be.

If this was so bad, how come historians think so, unequivocally high of him?
Pyramid schemes seem wonderful, until they come crashing down; and the people at the bottom are left holding the bag.

Wilson's $20 gold piece now buys 60 cents worth of goods, now that it has been converted to Federal Reserve Notes.

I'm pretty sure he is referring to Social Security as being the pyramid scheme (although I don't think bag holding is involved, even metaphorically).
