Is there a limit to democratic corruption?

After World War II ended, the debt limit was reduced to $275 billion. Because the Korean War was mostly financed by higher taxes rather than by increased debt, the limit remained at $275 billion until 1954. After 1954, the debt limit was reduced twice and increased seven times, until March 1962 when it again reached $300 billion, its level at the end of World War II. Since March 1962, Congress has enacted 74 separate measures that have altered the limit on federal debt. Time Line from 1958-2011 ...

To say nothing of sheer incompetence and malfeasance in office, which are separate and apart from the corruption. As the current election cycle has revealed, the power brokers, politicians and bureaucrats on both sides are equally guilty. You and I have no idea who is pulling the strings in the country because most of them have names that none of us would likely recognize, but I know this: The Great and Powerful Oz standing behind the curtain, representing the elite power structure, i ...

corrupt machine politician in the worst Chicago mold. He used the IRS to silence his enemies, and the Justice Department to protect his friends. His two major "achievements" — a health care law that doesn't work and a deal that increased the power and prestige of the terrorist state of Iran — were built on lies to the public and manipulation of the press. And that's according to his own allies! Only the leftist bias and racial pathology of the media kept his administration from bei ...

Politicians like these have always existed; they come as no surprise. They should have been chased off the public stage by outraged citizens with arrest warrants in hand. Instead, they are not only tolerated but enjoy a substantial measure of public support, despite the grave damage they have done to this nation in ways that number a dozen or more. The fault, dear US, is not in our stars; it is in ourselves. Politicians haven't changed; they've always done whatever they could get ...

I think we'd better find out what sort of game is being played in the halls of our government. With each new revelation, it becomes more and more clear that the principles of democracy are being subverted. We know now, for instance, with absolute certainty that intelligence reports regarding the efforts against ISIS have been altered for public consumption in order to bolster a false political narrative. And we'd better not elect or re-elect anyone who has been part of the curre ...

It may be that on November 8 we learn that the electorate of this country has become more of a threat to the survival of this nation than ISIS could ever be. ...

We're finding out so much now about how the left really thinks, although long suspected. Disdain for (specific) religious faiths, exploitation of false narratives, back-room deals with news media to cover up or ignore scandals, special arrangements with debate "moderators" and "interviewers" regarding the questions to be asked (or not asked), and we're just starting on these email dumps. Meanwhile, Trump continues to draw crowds 3 and 4 times the size of Hillary's. 8,000 today ...

I have had numerous "debates" with some of my friends and family on the democratic way of thinking. They say republicans help the "rich get richer" and republicans are "greedy," etc. What I don't understand is how democrats cannot understand the simple concept that the rich will STAY rich no matter how many taxes they have to pay in. The "rich" are the ones who create the jobs. The oil companies (I will admit their profits are excessive), but they provide MANY jobs, corporate companies ...

Has anyone else noticed the new Democrat strategy of trying to connect with the people in this country not making a million or more a year? Hilary did the "we were broke when we left the White House" story and now Biden is thanking us for taking care of him? Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing ANY politician does or says is not part of a grand scheme. It just really angers me that they pretend to even start to know how it is to live paycheck to paycheck and want us to feel sorry ...

Is there a limit to democratic corruption?

Ladies and gentlemen: It turns out that Donald Trump is absolutely right. - The system is rigged top to bottom.

Actually, Mr. Trump has been right on a lot of things - Democrats laughed about.

I'm - sorry
