Could be. I still trust government to take care of the people more than I do the private sector.

A private employer cans somebody that person goes away, moves onto something else. A government is stuck with them unless they die or leave the country altogether. And, so long as the people keep the government from killing anyone, and hopefully we will, it will be thus.
Like it or not, ultimately we are our brothers keeper.

I see the racist in me every time I get stuck at a traffic signal next to some black dude with his windows down blasting rap music.

They raided that money and then in turn gave tax cuts to the uber rich.
So if you are looking for the money that was taken, just go to those secret offshore accounts. That's where it resides. The answer is to take back was was stolen via higher taxes on the rich.

Exactly right.

It is the GOP's fault. They played with fire, got drunk with fire, then woke up in the same bed with fire.

Hillary cannot win or lose this election. She is a lump. One of the softest candidates the DEM's have ever run. This election is Donald's to win or lose. He has screwed up big time by not making the turn all his reasoned supporters had expected.
Thoughts?

My thought is that I can't believe it took you this long to recognize how disgusting Trump is.

The danger about Trump is 1) He will try to implement into actions his racist beliefs and 2) will probably sign whatever Ryan and O' Connell will send to his desk. If that is not enough to scare anyone nothing is.

Cool.
Can we use that every time he makes a statement that you feel is "racist"?

Equally troubling to me, side by side with the calls to cut SS, are the recent calls to expand it, lead by our debtor in chief Obama.

Politics as usual - use entitlement programs as nothing more that a basis to buy / sell votes.

Cheap shot isn't it? The debt under GWB doubled even with a running surplus he was handed by Clinton, whereas under Obama the debt increased 50%.
