tshile Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 19 hours ago, Cooked Crack said: From the link, that i found interesting Quote Are the Country’s Best Days Ahead of or Behind Us? Americans are about evenly divided on the question of whether the country’s best days are still to come. A majority (52%) of Americans believe the country’s best days are ahead of us, while close to half (46%) say they are behind us. Racial differences on this issue are stark. Majorities of white (54%) and Hispanic (52%) Americans say America’s best days are still to come, while fewer than four in ten (39%) black Americans feel the same. Whites with a college degree have a somewhat more positive outlook about the future than those without (58% vs. 52%, respectively). Party differences in optimism about the country are also strong. Roughly two-thirds of Republicans (64%) say America’s best days are still to come, while only 45% of Democrats feel the same. Independents (53%) fall between these two groups. Optimism among partisans has shifted over the past couple of years. In 2015, nearly six in ten (59%) Democrats reported feeling that America’s best days are yet to come while only about four in ten (41%) Republicans expressed this view.3 It's a good link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what Obama is saying in that quote essentially is once we have the debt, you essentially have to raise the debt ceiling because the only other option is to default. I admit, I didn't get that from that quote at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been okay if he just replaced does with will at the beginning of the sentence but now he has no credibility.

When the quote talks about the full faith and credit of the US, it is talking about the possibility of defaulting. In order to pay our new debt, we need to borrow money. If when we have to raise the debt ceiling, we don't we will have to default on the debt that is coming due. You don't mess with raising the debt ceiling because you risk the value of the full faith and credit of the US. That isn't something you play games with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe the tariffs will kill jobs but because the guy asked if the town will blame Trump for job killing tariffs, he’s lost all credibility? The first sentence of the article says that everyone in the town understands the importance of this one factory and the that the factory itself is saying that the tariffs will very likely ruin them. Are You sure you weren’t just looking for any excuse to say that he has no credibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a prediction (Which I think could very well happen) the other is a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well, it's a lot like the NFL. People are copycats. Everyone saw what was happening in the GOP for 8 years. When Trump won the nomination, I thought that'd be the wake up call.... Nope. When the Grab 'em by the ****' tape came out... nope. And then, PEOPLE ELECTED HIM!!! I don't think arrogant ignorance is the answer but it's definitely not to normalize this ****. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
