Trump's Economic Plan

Post by K@th » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:15 am

Huh?
"People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt, and I mean, these people are crazy. This is the United States government," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you, OK?"
I need a Trumpologist to explain what he "really" meant... because you all have the Trump-speak decoder ring.

Here's a little window into the method behind the madness:

http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/03/25/mad ... ite-house/

Nixon wanted to impress upon the Soviets that the president of the United States was, in a word, mad: unstable, erratic in his decision-making, and capable of anything. The American commander-in-chief wanted the Kremlin to know that he was willing to escalate even localized conventional military conflicts to the nuclear level. Kissinger understood: "I’ll tell [the Soviets] tomorrow night," he vowed. The national security advisor even rehearsed for the president specific lines from the good cop/bad cop routine he intended to put on. "The more we do now," he would tell his Soviet interlocutor, "the better." He was akin to saying: On the shoulders of reasonable men, like you and me, rests the responsibility of preventing a madman, like Nixon, from taking things too far.

It wasn’t the first time the national security advisor had been exposed to the strategic potential of madness. The concept had originated, amid the nuclear anxieties of the 1950s, in the academic circles Kissinger had formerly inhabited. It was a product of game theory, a mathematic discipline — often applied to national security policymaking — that can be used to assess competitive situations and predict actors’ choices, based on prior actions by their competitors. Kissinger himself had endorsed the concept in his writings, as a professor of international relations at Harvard, a full decade before he came to the White House. "The more reckless we appear [the better]," he told Nixon that afternoon, "because after all, Mr. President, what we’re trying to convince them of is that we are ready to go all the way."

Basically, Trump can say all these crazy things, and then his "reasonable" cabinet members can go to people in business and foreign governments, and say, "look, the future of the world depends upon us dealing with this before our madman president decides to do something crazy, so we probably should negotiate something everybody can accept right now.."

Mostly crickets from the Trumpologists. I guess you all agree that double digit inflation will lead to no good. Remember when Ford printed all that money causing double digit inflation during Carter's term? Or when they printed money non-stop in the 20's? That also went well.

Simple......You just grab the world by the pussy! :twisted:
There is a time for good men to do bad things.

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

What did you think was going to happen when the democrats promised all that shit and placed our future in hoc to pay for it?

It ain't Trump that brought us to inflation. That's the democrats.

Both parties are completely culpable in the massive spending increase. Quit pretending Team Red has never ever done anything wrong. Most recent R presidents have increased the debt more than the blue team. Point to me on the chart where red team doesn't increase as well.

Every president adds greatly to the debt. Obama being the worst, but under Clinton, not so bad.
