DJT remembers/tweets/wishes for

When our Country had no debt and built everything from Highways to the Military with CASH, we had a big system of Tariffs

THE facts?

Except for about a year during 1835–1836, the United States has continuously had a fluctuating public debt since its Constitution went into effect on March 4, 1789.

ONE YEAR?....1835-1836?

DJT wants things to be the way they were for that ONE YEAR?

HE wasn't even alive then.

HE also probably wishes HE wasn't in debt to Deutsche Bank.

we have a resource problem today. Lots of children go to bed with an empty stomach and folk can't seem to stop having eleven kids when they cannot even feed themselves properly. Yeah, I know I'm a downer but it's da truth!

Fewer American citizens are having children now (stats prove that) because they can't afford to have them. At least they aren't having them in their early 20's anymore and are having fewer than they would have otherwise. The only ones still having lots of them are illegals (stats prove that as well) and others who come here SOLELY to give birth so their kids have dual citizenship and even if they return to their home country, their KIDS can legally come here later on and reap the benefits of that long ago birth.
