You run a trillion dollar deficit fiscal year one. Next year you run a 750 billion dollar deficit. Congratulations, you reduced the deficit and added 1.75 trillion dollars to our debt. [emoji122][emoji122][emoji322][emoji322]

Curt nailed it:
You just lost any credibility you "never" actually had. I've watched you spew your liberal bull**** for a while, but this takes the cake. I quote you, "Obama and Clinton actually reduced the deficit". You'd have to be dumber than a day old democrat to believe the horse**** you just typed. Obama increased the deficit by more than all previous presidents combined and that is "indisputable".

I thought Trump made great strides last night.
I am not going to point fingers but you guys should educate yourself on the Libertarian Party including Xbow who seems very confused as to his party beliefs.
Lib Party
- believes in less government intervention
- push for flat tax or consumption taxes
- fiscal conservatism
-individual liberty and responsibility
-free market economics with minimal government intervention
-protection of private property
-not big on government assistance (take care of your own mentality)
-no government bailouts for failed business
I do agree with most of the stances except they do not support being "police" to the rest of the world.
Im not sure how Xbow came up with his party affiliation but from what I have read it probably is not Libertarian- closer to Socialist

Actually Trump has a lot of Libertarian views from what he has expressed during his first month in office. Please educate yourself so you can have an intelligent conversation with people about political parties.
You probably say you are Libertarian because they push for individual rights as long as they do not interfere with others or cause civil unrest. They push for individual rights to use drugs that are illegal. That does not mean they are users just believe in individual rights. They actually believe that the population that makes bad choices will actually take care of themselves and leave a better population behind.

Obama and Clinton actually reduced the deficit. Clinton actually balanced the budget with help of Republican Congress. The rest of everyone was spending like a drunken sailors starting with Reagan.

Guys please don't affiliate XBow with the Libertarian Party.
Do some research yourself and most on here would be surprised on how many of their stances you agree with. Problem is they have gone about it the wrong way- They are trying to start winning at the top in political elections and they should be starting is small local elections an gaining support and working their way towards the top.

Originally posted by Porterhouse View PostIt's called a budget, not something democrats and liberals seem to comprehend. Understandable considering the majority don't know where money comes from, and it therefore follows that they can't see how the choices a business, government, or individual makes might dictate the financial success or failure of that entity (see, for example, the state of California).
You see, it's possible to make choices on where you spend money. Trim here, so you can spend more there. Get it? Spend less on beer and cigarettes, you have more money to spend on eggs and milk. You can also "find" money by eliminating certain costs completely. For example, you need public assistance because you can't make ends meet - so you eliminate your cell phone, cable TV, XBox subscription etc. So now you have extra cash to allocate to things like a pair of work boots with the added bonus of having extra time to utilize them for their intended purpose.
Accountability - it's an incredible concept.

Glen unfortunately this utopian view the libertarian party says it believes in can not exist in a world where greed, hate and lack of personal responsibility exists.
Those who individually choose to use drugs will too often choose to use illegal means to acquire those drugs if they don't have the financial means to get them on their own.
In no world will all have equal opportunities. And there will always be those who maximize their opportunities through hard work and commitment and those who will not.
They preach something that is unattainable and also limit a societal response to those who need correction, punishment and elimination. Allowing a woman to kill a defenseless fetus but society not to eliminate a ruthless criminal. The libertarian philosophy is a pipe dream at best and a socialist facade in reality.
