The debt is a grave concern, but we cannot even begin to attack it until we have a strong, healthy economy.
And start cutting government spending.
Three guesses who will not accept spending cuts?
The thing about fake unemployment numbers, you cannot use them to compare unemployment to a time when a different formula was used, but you CAN compare within the timespan where it is calculated the same. The numbers will be wrong, but the changes within will remain the same. If the rate decreases by half uner one way, it will decrease by half under the other, just the actual value will be different.
One thing we need is a realistic metric for unemployment.

Just like the problem with the ever-growing National Debt. If Trump (and JustRalph) declare it to be a "grave concern"...then it obviously is. But it becomes a "trivial matter" if Trump (and JustRalph) reverse their opinions on the issue.

True, this. 
The spin I just can't wait for, though, is the inevitable
spiel we're going to hear as soon as the economy tanks
due to "tinkle down" economics working their warped magic.
No predictions as to how soon that might happen, but it will.
Just like previous repug administrations before them,
consumer confidence and spending will come to a grinding halt.
"Roll up, roll up.....get your tickets to witness the incredible Sh*t Show"
All done, of course, at the expense of regular people - while the
executive branch tycoons fleece the nation and rob us blind.
Very sad to say, when you've inherited an economy like a tricked out
Escalade and manage to turn it into a patched up Chevy Nova. 
Wait and see, beehatches.....

Me thinks he is just out on work release, and will be back into his hole soon enough.

If anything goes wrong...if anything tanks...we'll just blame it on Obama...like when anything went wrong during Obama's run, you blamed Bush.
We learn well.

PA, did you turn off Twitter videos?
I've tried to post a few tweets the last few days that contain video, all from different sources. When the tweet is posted and you try to play the video, it says the video is disabled. 
The video plays fine outside of PA..

Not only did libs blame Bush but Obama himself blamed him when he said essentially said that Bush never told him how bad things really were when he took office. Trump has this same card up his sleeve if he ever needs to play it.

When I click on the bird to view the message on Twitter, it plays fine.
Weird.
