Trump to Greta Van: Sequester Cuts Don't Go Far Enough, Without Cuts There Will Be Big Fat Explosion
2/22/13 - Donald Trump stopped by On The Record to share his thoughts on the impending sequester with Greta Van Susteren. Trump dismissed the hypo over the spending cuts, saying that they should be much deeper, and predicted that if the government avoids making any serious cuts for the next few years, there will be a "big fat explosion and it's all going to come to an end." Trump said "not a lot is going to happen" as a result of the automatic sequester, dismissing the "over-exaggerated" alarm and added that the cuts do not go far enough. He told Van Susteren that the nation is going to have to endure far deeper spending cuts in order to get a balanced budget. Van Susteren asked Trump what would happen if the U.S. government resists the urge to cut spending. Trump predicted that if this happens, then in a few years there will be a "big fat explosion" in the nation's economy and "it's all going to come to an end." He acknowledged that action should be taken to make the United States great again, "because it's not that great right now." He attributed the nation's economic woes to both incompetence and partisan politics. Trump allowed that it was a widespread problem in government, but ultimately "the president is your leader," blaming President Obama for being unable to fix the broken economy in his first four years. He predicted that in 2016, China will become the dominant economic superpower, and they will have done it "on our back." Van Susteren ended by asking if Trump has any presidential aspirations in 2016. Trump said he does not, adding that he loves the United States and would be happy if the president could make the country great again, but said that's not likely to happen any time soon.
Balance what budget; there is no budget and no one cares about the debt and it is not 17 trillion that is way to low. There is no way any debt reduction can happen not as long as we are waring in every nation unable to defend itself. That is costly and will eventually bring us down, Our debt is greater than all the money in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf the government cut the current budget in half, how much of the deficit would be cut over the next 10 years? Not a significant enough amount. The nation would rise up. They would riot and loot. Obama has thrown his hands up in the air and has given up on the thought of balancing the deficit. He is just riding the current wave and will do so until we implode. Then we will assume our new role as just another banana republic.
