the govt debt burden in the US is astronomical 37 trillion
the debt the US govt has accumulated in its 240 year history is projected to double in the next nine years given the status quo
20% of govt revenues are currently spent on servicing the interest costs on the current debt
this is a ticking time bomb and needs to be addressed now
a U.S. govt default will cause a world wide Depression.... not a recession, but a Depression
Right wing populist. This is as much about globalization as anything. But he is, I believe, beyond killing the carbon tax and a few other things a centrist who will govern within an acceptable Canadian Overton Window.
The definitions of left, centre and right are not fixed. They are determined by the policies that the right and left wing parties choose to support. When the right wing parties adopt new policies that differ from previous policies, they have redefined what right wing means. The same goes for left wing. The policies that they choose define what left wing means. That is not semantics.
He is a lying piece of shit, narcissistic who has no ideology. It will literally change day to day. And he will happily contradict himself and despise utterly failing to justify it stick to it.
It doesn't matter which wing. What matters is Liberals are copying all the things what Poilievre is saying for last few years, (carbon tax, immigration, inflation, housing , pipelines) shows they never listened to vast majority. Now election time they want to depend on policies what opposition is saying all the time, that's pathetic. Can't trust Liberals.
Let me refer you back, again, to what you said earlier.
You basically said he's not a big problem, it's the Liberal party.
Now you're saying it's both
You're not being consistent at all.
And Tory voters are more vulnerable to a politician who's a whiny little fuck.
I'm not promoting anyone.
I don't have a problem with Poilievre per se.
I'm trying to get a grasp on where Butler stands.
Personally, not professionally. I don't "hate" him, don't have an emotional reaction.
Sorry if you can't see the difference. I think all leaders at some point have to have a ruthless streak in them. The question is where that ruthlessness will be directed.
A populist is less likely to hurt the little guy than a private equity manager.
No need to apologize, I know the difference.
My question to you was whether you had a problem with his policies or because he was a private equities guy, strictly on a professional level, why would anyone assume there was a personal or emotional aspect to it.
Why are you trying to twist it?
