And I would be worth hundreds of millions if I had put everything I had into apple stock 20 years ago.

dan bilzerian gets $60 million from his old man and drops it on hookers and blow and becomes king of instagram.

Trump gets $60 million from his old man and parlays it into $10 billion and a shot at becoming POTUS.

Having a balanced budget simply means the govt is taking in more money than it is putting out. Has nothing to do with the debt. The US govt has been in debt since the 1940's starting with WW2, even Clinton added to the debt but is known for balancing the budget because he eliminated the deficit by balancing the budget. Again, the deficit and debt are two different things, and they are calculated differently. Don't ask me how...lol.

The deficits have largely come down as a result of the improved economy for which Obama cannot assume full credit.

The deficit has come down in recent years because of the strengthening economy, which drives tax revenues up, and the draw-down of various economic stimulus programs that were implemented to weather the financial crisis. Additionally, the expiration of 2 percent payroll tax cuts and increases in tax rates for high-income earners played a role, albeit a smaller one.

The country’s spending is not expected to continue its downward route, according to federal forecasters, for factors that include increased interest payments on the debt and the lack of substantial policy changes for the country’s biggest programs, like Social Security and Medicare.

And thats the best comeback you got chump ? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you should be thanking me, i'm taking it easy on ya based on yer *look at me i figured out trump supporters are stupid on account of the tv told me so* thread.

this is the part where the op then comes back with an insult about me having a job or having too much time on gfy. as if those make sense together, but he does like to flipflop between those 2.

Could you just write a check to pay down or pay off your share of the national debt?

Most Government Debt per Person: Countries - Bloomberg Best (and Worst)

So, discussing the national debt means nothing if you can't wire a check to the US Treasury to pay your share of it. So, what is the fucking point of the disscussion again? :1orglaugh

Another stupid argument from the poor. I could give you $10,000,000.00 right now and you'd be broke in 5 years just like nearly every lottery winner ever. Why? You don't understand money, management, accounting, finance or leadership or any of the other skills required to be productive with it. You don't understand that everything in life is a skill... skills are developed and honed. They don't just appear. You don't know how to build and run a business. You don't know how to invest successfully. You don't even have the slightest idea of what it takes to build wealth, build brands, build companies and employ 100's or 1000's or 10's of 1000's of people.

Trumps advantage was having a parent as a role model to teach him the value of money and how to use money to make money.... All while the 99% were out there scrambling to rack up mountains of debt for shit they don't need.

Robert Kiyosaki said it well (paraphrasing) "what's an inner city, single mother of three going to teach her child about wealth and money management"?".

The irony is that I just got off the phone with someone who i have been negotiating lease terms with on a commercial space I want and they've finally agreed to nearly everything I want. I'll start this business My current income streams all are passive, generate well into 5 figures a month and leave me with nothing to do all day long but workout and run. basically I'm
Starting a new business out of boredom. It's something I like to do and it's something. I understand. It's something I know how to manage, market and promote and I have many years experience of managing 100's of employees. I'll be there at 5am until 9pm because I like doing it. You'll still be here talking about how others don't deserve their wealth or success literally as I'm building this business up from zero and you be doing the same as I lease a second and third space and expand.

They also turned 100M USD into 10B USD?

They also inspired tons of entrepreneurs?

They also helped tons of charitable causes?

They also have buildings with their names on them dotting the globe?

Who knew?

95% of people here couldn't turn 1$ into 2$ if their lives depended on it

If you watch that New Hampshire town hall meeting that's on right now, you'll get a good glimpse of the boneheads who support Trump. The first "question" from the audience about the Muslim president was all you need to hear.

No fucktard, I was at my son's JV football game. How is your day going trailer park shitstain :1orglaugh

Oh man. You have a son?

I'll bet he's getting raised right.

23K donation to Catholic Dioceses. He better be. Otherwise he'd like you or any other trailer park resident. :1orglaugh

He turned $40 million into $10 billion. How many people with $40 million would be motivated to crush it like he has? If you don't like to hear what a candidate that isn't owned by special interests sounds like, you should stop listening to him now.

Keep in mind the track record of success amassed by our current President before he took office. :thumbsup

We have full employment, stock market at all time highs, low interest rates, etc. America is doing great. We have sequester and in 20 years we have the Social Security circuit breaker.

I am not sure what people expect Trump/Bush/Clinton to change if they are elected.

We are seeing inflation and high growth rates disappear and this might be an issue of the % of working class to overall population. Add in that the world is more competitive across borders and some of this stuff might have fundamentally changed.

But that is not all bad. The world has gotten richer, smarter and better managed as a whole. We really are doing very well as a species or at least if compared historically.

I don't personally know any Billionaires but my grandfather was a Millionaire and I have regularly dealt with Millionaires all my life in working relationships.

I have dealt with very wealthy people that are very considerate and nice people with good social values and understanding of the world they live in -- many of those inherited their money.

I have dealt with very wealthy people that are arrogant condescending shitstains also.

This has taught me to judge a man by his deeds and not by his bank balance.

Donald Trump is one of the arrogant assholes --- My vote is for sale Donald: $500K wired into my bank account, Donald Chump ...

100 stupid republicrats

Notwithstanding, that too great of income disparity is a social problem. The problem is there are a lot of people with obsolete or legacy occupational skills.

Workers that were unskilled or semi-skilled could earn a reasonable standard of living 30 years ago in the USA. But now they cannot and we all benefit by foreign goods that are less costly -- except the displaced workers. What would you rather have: A TV that costs $150 in today's inflated money or a TV that cost $370 in 1978 money ($1,352.41 2015 money)?

We are more efficient today ...

Obama is a good president and has done a lot of good things so far, so the republicans have no argument against him. Therefore the only way to win is to demonize him. They try to paint him as a foreigner, or as a muslim, or as someone with a secret agenda, or as someone who wants to "take away your freedoms", take away guns, rights, etc etc.

The amount of endless incredible bullshit thrown around is insane, and its no wonder why some people are so confused or believe the wrong things.

my day is going fantastic, thanks for asking. sorry to hear your son only made the jv squad , like father like son.

The Donald will cut a tough deal with Putin ...

I have long been looking for that answer. :pimp

He's in 8th grade fucking moron. Nobody makes varsity football at that age. Let me guess u played tuba in school. Btw when is child support due for your son?

making excuses, i see. i'm not surprised.


you should prolly google that shit about varsity before spouting off nonsense.

that's your comeback? assuming i played tuba and assuming i'm due child support (or owe it).

what's wrong with tuba? what's wrong with child support? you sound like a deadbeat dad. making excuses, bullying the tuba guy all while assuming others dodge child support.

again, i'm not surprised that's your view of the world around you.

Bubba, you tripping :1orglaugh World needs more deadbeats who drop 50K on private tuition and take their kids to varsity games and practices. :1orglaugh
Catch with you on Monday board ninja. Deadbeat is going tubing and stay in a cabin with his family. Whats you plans like for this weekend? Shooting for cool 32K posts? :1orglaugh Feel free to tell us you band camp stories while you at it.

riiiiiiiiight. says the online bully that has an epiphany about stupid people while watching tv and races to gfy to thump his chest about it all while acting like a racist bigot getting into internet spats with black people.

either way, you're the one that want to play drive-by bully, you know, like you did with me in that other thread, i'm playing along so i'll keep the light on for ya here while you're out ballin.

you wanted to tussle.

I'm no fan of Horatio Cane, but he's right about Trump attracting idiots. They won't be around when it's time to vote.

Everybody attracts idiots. And everybody also attracts intelligent people.

What on Earth does that have to do with anything?

And what does it say about people who want to keep voting for the exact same thing over and over when that has been a huge failure?

Our govt. is closing in on a 19 trillion dollar debt. We are involved in never-ending warfare. The NSA is spying on us. The number of people on foodstamps is at an all time high.

That is what the politicians have done for us over the last 60 years or so.

What is your suggestion? Elect yet another one of them? Listen to them lie their asses off in the election and just shrug our shoulders and say: "That's just the way it is" ?

There are plenty of stupid people voting for Democrats and Republicans. There are plenty of smart people doing the same thing.
Pointing it out doesn't mean a thing. What matters is this: Are you going to vote for someone who will actually do what they say? Or are you perfectly happy with being lied to and knowing full well they are lying to you?

so who are the smart people going to vote for? op is a jeb bush guy, obviously then, the implication in this thread is the smart people will be voting another bush into office. so bush is your smart choice?

I'm asking the same thing, if he is the "establishment candidate" are you saying he's better than Trump?

Lol.....
