I guess it's just me. I just felt that out of all the possible answers that could have been given that the one he gave took the least amount of thought and could have not been more shallow. I guess I'm just not hearing the Donald code talk. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

Really? I think Trump came off scattered, evasive, and at some points actively silly ("It's going to be a GREAT looking wall"  )

Trump's Health Plan, Revealed On '60 Minutes,' Sounds Like Obamacare Billionaire Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump told 60 Minutes he would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with a private plan that would “cover everybody” and “the government’s gonna pay for it.” Though short on details, Trump disclosed he “would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people.” He also said he’d have private companies involved in providing health coverage to all Americans. “For the most part, it’s going to be a private plan,” Trump told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley. “People are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors. They can have plans. They can have everything.” The president’s plan is hated by Republicans and Trump admits his effort wouldn’t be popular either. “I am going to take care of everybody,” Trump said. “I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/br...tm_campaign=20150927 "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

http://insider.foxnews.com/201...ump-unveils-tax-plan 'This Would Cost Me a Fortune': Watch Trump Unveil His Tax Plan share this Sep 28, 2015 // 11:30am Donald Trump unveiled his tax plan Monday morning, promising to lower rates for the middle class and businesses and bring back corporate cash from overseas. The campaign estimates that 31 million American households would have zero income taxes under his plan, including those who make less than $25,000 a year and married couples making less than $50,000. Trump said he will eliminate the alternative minimum tax and "the marriage penalty." "No business of any size ... will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes," Trump said at Trump Tower, adding that he will eliminate the estate tax, or "death tax." "A lot of families go through hell over the death tax," said Trump. He said he will go after hedge funds by ending the carried-interest loophole, explaining that these firms "do not create jobs and are not risking their own capital" Trump said corporations stashing money overseas would face a "one-time" 10 percent tax when they bring the money back into the United States. He said right now, companies refuse to bring the money back because of the "onerous" tax. Trump said all politicians agree that the estimated $2.5 trillion needs to be repatriated, but can't agree on a deal to do it. "I've been watching politicians now for years talking about bringing this money back. All talk, no action. ... Everybody, Republicans, Democrats, agrees it should come back. They can't make a deal. They don't know how to go about making a deal. ... It's called leadership," he said. Trump touted his plan as a "major tax reduction" that will simplify the tax code and "grow the economy at a level we haven't seen in decades" without adding debt. He said there would be four tax brackets - down from seven currently - of 25%, 20%, 10% and 0%. Trump promised that he will eliminate deductions and loopholes for the super-rich and for special interests, explaining his plan "would cost me a fortune." You can can read the full plan, here.

Sounds like dreaded single payer, doesn't it? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I'm guessing he would do some serious haggling with providers. If I'm not mistaken, right now the government is obliged to pay whatever the provider charges. I think he'd get taxpayers a better deal. “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson | |||

Several of the reviewers on Fox Business had good things to say about his proposed tax plan. One economist called it a "growth plan". I would like to hear the CBO weigh on how revenue-neutral this plan might be. There is some belief that this is a good thing. He still needs to reign in his mouth and start saying some reasonable things about how he would govern. In reality, I am doubtful he stands a chance, but maybe we can shift some of his ideas to the eventual nominee. However, if the nominee is a politician, we are in for more of the same old same old shit. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

I don't know.... he says Obamacare is a disaster... but what he's suggesting sounds like Obamacare. "Some things are apparent.

Well, but, Obamacare that he thinks he can do better. Between this and the Iran deal, the guy seems to want us to have an awful lot of faith in his negotiating genius. Yeah, just like other politicians do. Which is why I'd like to hear some specifics or, better yet, an outright commitment to kill both the Iran deal and ObamaCare or anything like it. | |||
