doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com OT: What is it about flying these days?

Jimmy: Sometimes flying is the only option.

It has become alot less-fun over the years, but for excessively long-distances or quick hops it's still the only answer (funerals, emergencies and overseas travel come to mind). I've got to learn how to prepare myself (I guess) as the old rules of engagement just don't seem to apply these days.

Adapt or die from boredom I suppose. It's not like anyone here has to fear dying too-young, eh?

You make excellent points, but they're too often just wrong. If I just knee jerk blame the dems, it's a winning debate formula, compared to flipping a coin. When it comes to the US budget deficit, did you literally sleep through his term more than jo did? Colorado is politically trending your way, you will have sanctuary from terrible orange. No, spare me all the greatness klamlala's policy was going to be. Since I don't get the marching orders, I have trust issues.

You honestly believe that not having an actual budget passed since 1996, and the bond market reacting to the interest due on US government deficit spending, over those years, is the fault of the latest president, a guy in place for 130 days?

Really?

Best,
Ted

Trump's budget, which is adding trillions to our debt, in addition to his poor tariff policies has spooked the bond market. Never before seen in our lifetime. Every economist that is worth his salt has stated we need to reduce our deficit in order to keep it manageable, instead we are seeing a budget bill that gives tax breaks to the wealthy and dramatically increases the deficit. Trump's first term alone accounted for 8 trillion of our budget deficit. Yes, I most certainty feel that Trump's actions have effected the bond market as well as interest rates, so does anybody else who is paying attention.

When does your boy start down at the factory?

Ted, does it strike you as odd that Princess Stevie SKB has never once had anything positive to say about Donald Trump, even though he/she claimed to have voted for Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 elections?

Princess Stevie SKB has also claimed to be an "Independent Moderate", yet he/she leans decidedly to the Left and is frequently here bashing Conservatives, Republicans, and Trump... all while giving Democrats a virtual pass. Princess Stevie has whined about Trump's fiscal policies numerous times since the election, yet we never heard one little peep about Biden's contribution to the National Debt, the Deficit, or the massive price inflation that we all suffered under Biden (or whoever was running the Auto-Pen and controlling his puppet strings).

Remember how Princess Stevie SKB railed on and on with Democrat fear mongering by making the equally false claim that Trump was going to raise the legal age to buy guns during his first term as President? But he/she never complains about more stringent efforts from Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats and their constant attacks on 2nd Amendment Rights.

Here we see Princess Stevie SKB making the false claim that Trump is somehow responsible for an increase in interest rates, when it is the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell who makes that decision. Powell lowered rates under Biden while inflation was still not under control, but refuses to bow to pressure from Trump to lower rates.

I wouldn't expect an honest reply from someone who claims to be an "Independent Moderate", but appears in every way to be a Closet Liberal Democrat who is to ashamed to admit the truth. And let's not forget, this is one of the Free Tagline Advertisers who refuses to say whether or not he/she pays Dave the $12.00 for successful sales resulting from that Free Advertising. Such a simple and easy question to answer... for those who have nothing to hide or be ashamed of... Just my opinion, as always.

Princess, Powell does not set interest rates for the bond market, he sets the FFR.

Market forces set the bond rate, the increase in rates are directly related to Trump's piss poor policies. Please do try to follow along Karen.
