Urgent Alert From The C.d.c.

Number of G.O.P. Candidates Now Thirteen, Says C.D.C. By Andy Borowitz

 

 

DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA (The Borowitz Report)—The number of official candidates for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination has risen to thirteen, according to officials at the Centers for Disease Control.

 

The count had stood at twelve since the announcement last week by the reality-show host Donald Trump, leading many at the C.D.C. to privately hope that the epidemic was losing steam.

 

But with the entry of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal into the race on Wednesday, the C.D.C. was forced to hold a press conference to announce the worrisome news that the number of candidates had increased yet again.

 

“It might have been misplaced optimism on our part, but we had started to believe that this thing had been contained,” said the C.D.C. spokesman Dr. Harland Dorrinson. “Regrettably, it has not.”

 

While scientists disagree about how running for President spreads from person to person, most epidemiologists believe that a candidacy needs an environment rich in narcissism and delusion—plus a host to feed on, ideally a sociopathic billionaire.

 

The C.D.C. spokesman refused to address speculation that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker would soon enter the race, bringing the number of candidates to fourteen. “I don’t want to say anything that might cause the public to panic,” he said.

hmmm, maybe they want us to take it as a joke, but I don't fully. There is some reality to this.

 

In New Hampshire Trump is second running closing in on Bush.

 

I have heard that the Donald supports marijuana. Most importantly to me, he fully supports the Second Amendment. That came straight from the horses mouth.

 

I have to very seriously consider voting for Donald Trump. We live in times where I feel that Trump may make the difference that we need. With his ego, I don't think he can be manipulated or bribed, in other words, he's got balls. I truly believe that he can bring us more jobs than anybody. We desperately need jobs in this country.

 

I see it how this guy does:

Yes, that is what our political environment would like us to believe, that Trump has no chance.

 

I couldn't find the video, but Jesse Ventura discusses how he was told that it was impossible for him to win the election for governor. He was at the bottom of the polls all the way through the election, yet he won without a doubt. He and Donald trump point out how the polls are completely fraudulent to manipulate and prevent people like Trump and Jesse from winning. If it were not true, then why did Jesse win the bid for governor if he was at the bottom of the polls? Jesse was almost not allowed to continue due to the polls. Trump has a chance in my opinion.

well i wish the weirdo luck.

Every election cycle we get these presidential candidates telling us how they will fix everything.  If we have learned nothing else under Obama it should be that the President alone cannot dictate solutions to most of our problems.  As long as money controls Congress, money and lobbyists will dictate our policies, not Trump.  Not any President.

 

In my opinion, Trump is a very good businessman and he absolutely loves attention.  He is in this because, for a while, a great many people will listen to him.  The other day, I saw TV stories on Trump opening a new golf course.  I imagine that this was exactly the plan.  The Donald just loves an audience and it is great for business....Trump's businesses.

Every 4 years we listen to all the promises and big plans and we fall for this idea that one person, the new president, can fix our nation's problems. It is simply not true. Our system does not allow one person to dictate even the best of plans.

Once elected, the ideals and campaign promises of ALL candidates bump up against the reality of Washington politics and the 'way things have always been done'.

The most that any of them can promise is that they will try to work with Congress to enact their plans.

The unfortunate truth.

There is no denying that Trump is a successful businessman.  But he owes his current wealth to having filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for his various failing businesses FOUR times and wiping away millions upon millions of dollars in debt and leaving others holding the (empty) bag.

 

Myself, I can't see voting for a candidate for president whose track record is, "when the going gets tough, the tough file bankruptcy."  That might be a way to run a successful business, but it is no way to make or keep a country successful.  

 

Our country is facing financial woes for years to come, especially with our debt to China.  The only reason China hasn't pounded us into the ground financially is that the US Dollar is still the world's preferred currency; however, the Chinese Yuan is gaining traction as a world currency.  A person needs to understand what it means to have assets in US Dollars vs. other currencies. 

 

If you look into the economic situation in just about any developing country, you will see that they have a strong need for US Dollars because, if you're running a manufacturing business in, for example, Costa Rica which has a substantial manufacturing sector, you can't buy anything on the world market using the Costa Rica Colone - you need US Dollars.  Many Caribbean and Central/South American countries offer easy residency options for people who can show a reliable income in US Dollars and if the individual will deposit US Dollars in a domestic bank on a monthly basis, rather than depositing the country's own currency - why? because all developing countries need US Dollars to participate in commerce on the world market.  Their own currency is meaningless from a business standpoint.  It is a supply and demand thing.  The demand for US Dollars is still high because you need US Dollars to trade on the world market.  This props-up the value of the US Dollar on the world market.  As China's Yuan gains respect as a world currency, the demand for the US Dollar will fall, which means the value of the US Dollar compared to other currencies will also fall.  This is Economics 101.

 

Nicaragua just made a deal with a Chinese investor for a $50 billion canal to rival the Panama Canal.  Reports indicate that China, with its rising middle class/rising wages, sees Nicaragua (the second poorest country in the western hemisphere behind Haiti) as the new place for cheap labor.  Wow!  The tables are turning.  It used to be that China was the go-to place for manufacturing businesses due to low wages.  Now that China is becoming an economic powerhouse with a rising middle class, the Chinese are looking for poor countries so they, too, can benefit from low wage workers.  Ironic, isn't it?

 

So this brings us back to Trump.  If his plan for success is defaulting on debt, as he did FOUR times before, and he becomes president with the same attitude, the US Dollar will lose its foothold as the preferred world currency.  (What is he going to do? try to renegotiate our debt with China in a Chapter 11-esque sorta way?)   And this foothold is weak already.  We have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel when it comes to preserving the integrity and demand for our US Dollars.  As soon as the world sees another currency (probably the Chinese Yuan) as a safer bet than the US Dollar, the US Dollar will lose its place as the preferred currency for world trade, the demand for the US Dollar will fall, and the value of the US Dollar will follow suit, and the overall wealth of our county too.  Having a president who thinks defaulting on debt is a good idea will be the last nail in our financial coffin.  Other countries will see the writing on the wall and run from the US Dollar in favor of another currency that has more credibility. 

 

There is some good information on the website for the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity:    http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2014/july/31/the-rise-of-the-petro-yuan-and-the-slow-erosion-of-dollar-hegemony.aspx

 

If Donald Trump is elected as our next president and he tries to use the same tactics that made him successful in business (defaulting on debt), the value of the US Dollar will plummet, and the wealth of our great county will follow suit quickly. 

 

Please don't fall for the glamor and celebrity that is Donald Trump.  His decisions that lead to his accumulation of wealth in no way parallel sound policy to lead a country.  If he employs the same tactics as president of the US that he employed in business, our currency will be doomed, and along with it, the wealth of our country.

Hmm, 77% Bernie Sanders.

 

 

It says I'm:

Your political beliefs would be considered moderately Left-Wing on an ideological scale,

meaning you tend to support policies that promote social and economic equality.

 

Yep.

much like romney would have done to michigan and the big 3 auto, he would bankrupt the country and sell off its assets in an instant.

 

darn i bet romney still has people in michigan that would vote for him. even with his promise to let the auto industry fall to pieces. there are not words to describe how bad that would have been for michigan. imagine the whole state being detroit? times 10?
