Trump fills the swamp with more lobbyists; He’s surrounding himself with Wall Street and D.C. insiders.

I would prefer that all cuts in spending were returned as tax cuts - but if that pallet of cash destined for Iran was diverted and put into refurbishing some pipes in Michigan, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
That was Iran's money
I thought you weren't down for theft

Maybe before we cut taxes we use any money freed up by spending cuts to reduce the deficit or even, if there is a surplus, pay down the debt.

I find it interesting you advocate thievery as a foreign policy. If we had taken that money and spent it in Michigan we would have had to steal it. It was never our money, it was always Iran's.
Was it? Honestly I didn't know the backstory on it. That said the pallet of cash being sent overseas meme is quite common. I understand that the Bush administration did that repeatedly - sending cash to Iraq. There were also instances of sending the Muslim Brotherhood cash. I am not here to debate any of these situations - only that tons (literally) of money is wasted and it is wasted overseas. I would like that money back in my income - but if it has to be spent then build a wall, fix some pipes, fix a bridge then so be it.

Look at the trillions missing from the DOD that Rumsfield reported on the day on 9/10/2001. I think there are some major kickbacks taking place along with the waste. This needs to end.

I think its a good compromise between the left and the starve the beast right so quit your bitching. Make capital investments that the people that our getting their revenue stolen might actually benefit from.
Maybe you should start learning the backstory.

Unfortunately that problem is quite common in the U.S., people believe the lies and repeat them as truth. Learning the backstory would go a long way to making you more credible.

The money released to Iran was Iranian money frozen during the sanctions. As part of the negotiations to raise sanctions related to U.N. nuclear votes, the U.S. agreed to release frozen Iranian assets. Part of those assets was what was shipped to Iran.
Thanks for the backstory. I'll verify and get back to you.

Now address the rest of my post.
Address what? The fact that there is not trillions missing from the DoD and the other nonsense you posted? When you have something worth replying to I will.

A former Bush administration official told Politico that it would be "a mistake" for a leader to deprive themselves of lobbyists, who are "some of the most seasoned and capable people able to responsibly pull the levers of government."

I lean toward the expert and away form any naysayer posting on this thread. You are all wrong according to the former Bush admin quoted by Politico.
Oh great, taking economic advice from former bush officials on pulling the levers of government

How'd that work out for the country the last time?

The pigs are running towards the trough at high speed
You did not learn your lesson about arrogance I see. Maybe the Bush advisor was both knowledgeable and wise. One whose advise is spot on? Democrats seem to have a problem with accepting another point of view if that point of view does not fit their agenda. Such as Michael Moore. None of you listened to him.

Moores message was that Trump could win if we let him.
We let him.
He was never hoping for a Trump win, never cheering for that mess.

That was no surprise. Listening to him would change nothing. There were simply too many forces working against Clinton to overcome.
She came damn close.

''The stock market is zooming! Happy days are here again!''

The last time the republicans had this much control of the government was 1928

One year later, 1929, the whole economy crashed into the great depression

We are once again looking at a typical republican economic boom to bust, crash and burn cycle

They pump a lot of cash into the system through tax cuts, speculative growth swells for a year or two, then suddenly crash and burn

The bigger the bubble, the bigger the pop, and this one will be done with borrowed cash
Have confidence that the Federal Reserve will hold money supply in check this time around. So far they have keep rates low. The banks have a lot of cash to loan, which could cause a debt problem If the Fed forces the banks to thin their coffers then interest rates will rise and consumer consumption will slow. The stock market will drop but the bond market should rise. Those who are balanced will be ok and we all will be ok. Trump has little to do with this if the Fed does what it is supposed to do.

True is that. Moore predicted a Trump victory and it frightened him. He tried to warn but few listened to him. Remember the Humpty Dumpty rhyme? "And all of the king's horses and all of the king's men could not put Humpty together again." That Humpty was not Trump but rather Hillary. She had all of the money, all of the staff, all of King Obama's might and power, all of the media, and all of the experience and yet she was in the end the one who took the "great fall" and "....could not put Humpty (Hillary) together again."

As you casually walk by the fact that the debt and deficits that will be massively increased due to lower taxes across the board coupled with any spending, not including any military or infrastructure additions Trump proposed.

This is classic pump and dump evonomics. Republicans are back in charge of the swamp, it's the same show rerun over and over. They intend on deregulating the banks and dumping Dodd Frank. That's pouring gasoline all over the economy

For the last eight years under Obama there has been steady moderate growth, low unemployment and no recession, mostly due to that moderate growth. You artificially pump that growth with cash, you'll create an unsustainable bubble that will bust, and because interest rates are already at rock bottom, there will be nothing there to stimulate the economy back

Just months before the economy collapsed in 2008, everyone in bushland were so sure things would just be wonderful forever. This will happen again

That you finally admit to your ignorance sure is.
It doesn't make a difference - they level of kickbacks to government officials and USAID is immense.

Dodd Frank is a corporatist mess - the FED was what caused the crash in 2008, they admitted to wanting a housing bubble.

We'll see how a Republican congress and Trump handle that. I personally think Yellen is going to try and sabotage the whole thing and raise interest rates.

Time to appoint Ron Paul in there and clean out that entire Keynesian hive. Kill it with fire. Lets take the pain for a few years and then recover better then ever.

Military spending should not be increased. Foreign middle eastern wars should be ended and foreign bases around the world should be closed. Supposedly, Japan is willing to construct it's bullet trains in America so perhaps they may remain under America's security.

Yup.
There is waste in any large organization. You look into the 10 largest corporations and you'll find waste.

Can there be some cleaning up of the government, of course. But what it will find in terms of money will be minuscule when compared to the total budget.
If any of the Fortune 500 companies (excluding the known government surrogates, namely the banks) ran at the efficiency level of government, they would not be profitable.

Its a simple case of human behavior. Bureaucrats didn't earn the money they spend, they stole it and they printed it. Therefore they feel as if they have unlimited pools of it to spend to maintain their positions of power.

Wages even are growing in the last two years.

Trump isn't going to improve on any of that. If he was smart he'd leave things as they are

If the voters were satisfied and wanted more of the same, they would have elected Hillary...Apparently they did not perceive that everything is rosy......... :shakeshead:
Hope they enjoy the next recession

8 years since the last one

Trump is inheriting Obama's stagnant economy............ :shakeshead:
A 2.9% growth rate is not a stagnant economy

A recession is when two consecutive quarters are in negative growth

Reagan had that, Bush l had that, Bush ll had that twice. All for the same reasons- boom to bust bubbles

True....Presidents don't start recessions and often make them worse............. :dunno:
