    The debt is a burden that will destroy our children and dramatic steps should be taken to prevent a president from spending anything.

    The deficit is a burden that will destroy our children and dramatic steps should be taken to prevent a president from spending anything.

    Raising the debt ceiling is a burden that will destroy our children and dramatic steps should be taken to prevent a president from spending anything.

    Government spending doesn't create jobs.

    Infrastructure spending is a boondoggle.

    Keynesian stimuli don't work.

    Executive Orders are tyranny of the worst kind.

    Presidents should not expect quick action on appointees, especially judges.

    Obstruction by the party out of power is principled opposition and ought to be encouraged.

    Nazis are bad.

    Conflicts of interest are bad.

    Profiting from office is illegal.

    There are more things that are no longer true, but I got bored thinking these up.

    Still a problem, spending still needs to be drastically scaled back.

    It still doesn't.

    Depends on how it is done.

    Still doesn't.

    Depends on the Executive Order. Those that are power grabs or attempts to subvert the legislative still are.

    Depends on who they appoint or nominate, if they are seen as acceptable by congress, there won't be a problem just like always.

    It certainly can still be.

    They still are

    They still are, and they'll still exist just like they always did.

    It still is, but it'll keep happening just like it always has. Funny that this comment would come up due to a Clinton losing an election given how much they have profited from holding office.

    LOL you just need to relax a bit, things haven't changed. You are heading into salt mining territory though.

    I wouldn't necessarily say these won't be true. Trump's agenda, which is hard to pin down anyway, isn't exactly the agenda of the GOP Congress.

    GOP mantra of "**** you, pay me" is still true. Get ready to open the bank on sum 1% tax breaks.

    WHO WANTS A NEW YACHT???

    It will be interesting as Paul Ryan's agenda is a bit different than Trump's populism.
