    Cutting spending promises with no follow through, according to reports coming out he was a guy that would promise whatever it took to appease whoever he was dealing with.  E-verify, Ukraine funding, there seems to be plenty of policies conservatives would have a problem with.

    A squishy moderate has been removed, hopefully we can do better.

    Kinda sounds like trump but that doesn’t stop you bud light drinkers from bending the knee every chance ya get 🥴

    Lowering the interest rates too much at this point would simply be a "feel good" boost. Might hurt in the long run unless done slowly and thoughtfully.

    You’re spot on. The trick here is to lower rates, and then blame next guy in office when it comes time to pay the bill 

    His passionate supporters fell for it last time, and they will again. They are not smart people

    Same guy who hammered the fed into a zero interest rate policy which was a significant driver to the asset bubble and major inflation we have going on now.. but it doesn’t matter, because his passionate supporters are mouthbreathing MORONS who barely passed middle school algebra.

    Former President Donald Trump complained that interest rates are too high and indicated that if he gets another term in office, he might pressure Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to loosen monetary policy.

    In an interview set to air Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump also hinted that he would at least consider removing

  16. Age Limits For Political Office - Part 2

    No upper age limits should be applied, youth doesn’t automatically make you any sharper and old doesn’t automatically make you any less clear minded, it comes down to the person.

    Like TVC has pointed out, this makes for fun conversation but at the end of the day, that’s all it is.

    To include Trump in the original post as far as being senile is laughable.

    By the way, biden was a threat to this country long before he lost his wits, there are lots of threats more dangerous than old men and women.

    Don’t take it personal dude you act like these dinosaurs are your daddy

    Age shouldn’t matter. Competence does. I have to wonder about the people that keep re-electing them. 

    It reminds of me that poll a while back - congress had like.. 10-15% approval. Something stupidly low.

    Yet nearly everyone got Re-elected anyways. Sort of a “I dislike congress, but MY guy is different” attitude

    I'm not sure I believe in age discrimination...... 

    He is a representative and put in office by the people.....maybe shorter terms, but the people put him in office

     

     

    What do you think on the age minimum then (for president, at least)?

    Age 45-62 is the sweet spot in my opinion, but fine with 35 for a minimum. Old enough to have real experience, and young enough that your brain is still functioning properly

    2nd time in a month or so that Mitch has a stroke while answering Q&A..

    Is it time to enact age maximums, the same way we require age minimums? I think it’s time. 70 and 80 year olds, including Biden and Trump, have obvious and severe mental issues and are a threat to this country.

    Last time this topic was posted - I did recall all the 80 year old dinosaurs here being vehemently against it (they are the smart 80 year olds, duh, and not like the rest) while the relatively younger crowd agreed with me.

     

    @Reagan @LumRaiderFan - what do y’all think? Should we ban your classmates from running for office?
