Trump Administration

[gil]

England has a King why can't we?

Jesus Christ…

Not sure Hawkandmariner88 was serious, but he can speak for himself.

1. The Founding Fathers, in devising our system of government, wanted to assure that we did NOT have a king.

2. The King of England really isn't much of a "ruler". He just sort of keeps busy with "royal duties" and shuttles between nights at his various castles.

I was stunned to learn that England hasn't had a true Monarchy for a very long time, over 300 years:

I'm not sure that's right. 1776 was 248 years ago....so it was parliament that sent the 'red coats' and not the King?
-But it was on-line, so it has to be right.

I always heard it was King George but there was a Prime Minister since 1721. Guessing there was a gradual transition of political power from the Monarchies to the Prime Minister. George probably still had a lot of power in 1776.

Yes, I think he was a lot more that a symbol. Reading about this era, I see that the parliament was its own center of power. (Kind of like having a president and a congress in the US?)

Anybody else feeling pretty good about the direction it looks like we're headed so far?

[Donn Beach]

Bill Clinton had a $69 bil surplus during his administration, Trump on the other hand added $8 trillion to the national debt during his. Talk's cheap, just do it

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Amazing how it spiked with the Covid hysteria-induced lockdowns starting in 2020. It's almost as if the Democrat controlled Congress was trying to crash the economy.

[Donn Beach]

It wasn't a COVID, it was Trump cutting taxes. It's always the same thing, the fairy tale that cutting taxes will grow the economy. It comes down to the same old kicking the can down the road approach. So let's see, I predict the same thing happens in trump's second administration as did the first. It's just funny to me, if there's one guy out there that's not concerned about paying his bills it's the Donald.

[Walla Walla Dawg II]

Donn said it, so it must be true.


It was the Covid hysteria and shut downs.
If nobody is working, there are no taxes.

But Donn said the other thing....so it must be true.
