    No one is looking to turns the US into a socialist country. But if you have evidence of anyone looking to have govt control ALL means of production and have no private enterprise at ALL then by all means please share.

    Any move to expand the scope of the federal government is idiotic.

    You were talking about economics and Democrats and suddenly you are on slavery? You dared a Democrat to "explain" and yet you ignore, once again, any explanations. Please stop baiting Democrats if you are going to ignore their explanations when they don"t fit your needs.

    I think the exchange between dem candidates has become a lot like a belch and fart contest between teenage boys on a bus trip. Nobody's winning, it all stinks and rude is the order of the day.....

    Money pays the bills- and without the money, damn little of any good could be done. Great people who stand on their own feet, who are productive and make the money, who pay the taxes, who behave themselves, who respect respectable things and respectable people, who contribute- they make it a great nation.
    Bellyaching whiners who think everything should be free are not part of the formula.

    Ahhh-ha, the US was broke until the gold rush of 1848 so you are implying that before there was no greatness to the US..

    More than anything else it likely has to do with the Dems and Neos predicting one for three years now.

    Like the great Johnny Unitas once said: “Talk is cheap”. Trump seemed to have conned a lot of people into believing his delusional, narcissistic visions of himself. “I, alone can fix it”....”I am the chosen one”....”I am the greatest president of all time”....However in the final anyalis he really does not know what the hell he is doing in his present job. He has made horrible decisions in staffing his administration from the start. He continually sticks his foot in his mouth and contradicts himself. I do not doubt that he thinks he is some sort of genius godlike entity but he is really just a blowhard know nothing jerkoff who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple. Thanks to the visionaries that wrote our constitution and it’s separation of powers and checks and balances, we have survived far more evil and destructive Presidents in the past and we will survive this circus clown too. Also, his act is funny as hell and will end up being a lesson for Americans when it’s finally over.

    I posted about this before. To complete their revolution, the socoms need the economic system to collapse. A recession is not enough, but it's a start. They can make it worse. That way, like in the Weimar republic, they can easily convince folks who are starving that they have the answer, if only we would put them in charge.

    Never said that And the rest of that is also self serving horse crap. Except for the art about Americans might learn a lesson. That lesson will be that career politicians ought to be illegal.

    That’s right. Maybe from now on we will get loudmouthed reality TV guys who will keep the late night comics in business. Then, in the legislation you are proposing to disqualify Mexican babies from citizenship, you can slip something in there about making it illegal for politicians to run for office. I really think you may be onto something.

    I believe everyone born in the U.S. would be affected. It is an old outdated law that needs amended.

    No, the bill will have to written in the House and sent to the Senate for review. Then, after review and suggestions, the bill goes back to the House for a vote. If it passes there and then the Senate passes it afterward, it goes to the President to sign.

    It's change to the Constitution, so it won't be easy. However, I do think there needs to be changes in those laws. It's the only way to save social security for our children and grandchildren. Mexican get their own social security. They don't need ours.
