“In America , you have a right to be stupid.” He should know.

The current national administration is being run like a criminal enterprise. Threats, extortion, blackmail, deliberate failure to act, cronyism, protection, destruction of records, etc., are all in use, like the worst of organized crime and like Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.

"Christie gets that from Democrats!" Because he’s a RINO, and the good people of NJ are OK with Big Daddy government.

How many died during or because of the Watergate break-in, Davey? And how much time was devoted by the press on the cover-up? How many careers were made?

Gee, how much does he “contribute” as his “fair share” of taxes? How much does he give to charities (as opposed to anti-capitalism/anti-liberty NGOs)?

Great! Now, if the majority would insist that the definition of a spending “cut” is a year-over-year reduction in the total amount of money spent, then there would be some real progress. As it is in DC-speak, a “cut” is a reduction of the amount (or of the rate) of a planned/projected increase.

Is there constitutional authority for the federal government to impose a VAT (sales) tax? An amendment (the 16th) had to be passed to tax income.

With zero/little-down mortgages readily made, some buyers have no skin in the game & are, therefore, far less likely to maintain the property (& are trained to think that government satisfies all needs). Further, the effective lowering of the cost of home ownership made possible by such mortgages has greatly increased demand, which caused prices to rise. So, the government’s plan for “making home ownership more affordable” has had exactly the opposite (& predicted) effect. And ALL taxpayers suffer to clean up the mess. The truly sad thing is that the politicians who dream all this up couldn’t have cared less about the woeful non-home-owning population – they cared only for getting re-elected by buying votes using taxpayers’ money.

Even the residential real estate industry is pushing the notion that home ownership per se causes people to be better citizens – more responsible, more frugal, better stewards, etc. Nonsense! Home ownership is a RESULT of people having/exercising those traits – or used to be – since one used to have to make a substantial cash down-payment to get a mortgage, and one had to have been exercising those traits to have been able to accumulate the down-payment.

Just like “ponytail guy” from the Bush-1/Clinton debate in 1992. (Just like King George III in 1776.)
