Tax the rich and raise the minimum wage.
Trump on CNN re: nat'l debt: "This is the United States Government. First of all, you never have to default, because you print the money."

Trump wouldn't know sound monetary policy from a hole in his head. Ron Paul acolytes who voted for Trump are likely beginning to have an acute case of buyer's remorse.
Let's see, first he says we'll reduce the National Debt by taking America into default on our debt. And now he says that never needs to happen, since we can just inflate our way out of having to go into default. Is that about the scope of things?
Please, don't ever talk about how awful Hillary and Obama are if you're going to support Trump. It really and truly is very hypocritical. If Trump had a "D" by his name and was supporting these very same policies, you'd be on him like white on rice denouncing these absurd things he's saying.
Trump in Sept: Lower tax rate for highest earners 39.6% to 25%.

Trump now: "Taxes for the rich will go up somewhat."https://t.co/fkk0WFrhwj
Yesterday: Obama is printing useless money! This morning: Debt? what debt? Just print more money! HA. You can't make this stuff up!!
No inconsistencies there at all!
I would think the "art of the deal" guy would at least wait until the negotiation started to begin lowering his opening bid!!
Um....wow, that is some hardcore BS.
"I would think the "art of the deal" guy would at least wait until the negotiation started to begin lowering his opening bid!!"
Trump's idea of the "art of the deal" is to renege on his promises/pledges, then tell his creditors to "lower your standards to accommodate me or you're screwed". He's doing the same thing with the GOP right now.
It sounds like he needs some help not just articulating his goals but knowing how he will accomplish them.
I heard he is publishing two more books.....
"The Art of Whinning" and "Loans of My Father"
Vote for him to find out how he will screw us.....
Comes with the standard factory package of universal healthcare.... paid by the government! Yeah baby! And take that minimum wage hike for a test drive and then tell me you don't want it.... Chrome hubcaps included! Many more features.... too many to list here! Come on down and check us out! (just wait till we get you in the door....)
ALL of them are lying sacks of crap.
Oh yeah, Feel the Bern. RIF
Actually, it really is. But it's no surprise you are making excuses for him in this way.
I'll file your comment away for the General when you accuse Hillary of saying things just to get elected.
Great idea joshuaf, the only problem though, I understand politicians running for office often say things to appeal to voters with no chance of ever accomplishing them. Now, as I asked above, what will President Cruz be doing in February 2017? Great idea to appeal to the far right conservatives with your speeches, but if you can't get enough votes to win.....what do you accomplish?
I'd imagine he'll be saying "I Told You So".
No, he'll be saying I told you so because Trump will campaign to the Left of Hillary and will end up losing anyway.
It is actually a tax cut that Trump was talking about.
"Mr. Trump explained that he meant he might have to accept a top tax rate that is higher than the 25 percent his plan calls for. To get his tax plans through Congress, he would probably have to compromise, but even after such concessions, the top rate would be lower than it is now, he said."
Man, it is so hard to keep up, this guy makes Kerry look consistent...

Evidently it's escaped your notice that economic policy impacts every single American citizen, regardless of income level.
I would think a basic understanding of civics 101 would preclude anyone ever admonishing any eligible voter that their opinion may only be rendered with regard to their respective income stratification.
Right up there with "let them eat cake".
