Not even close.
There will be a recession, but not for the reasons stated here. There has been a real recovery in the last 10 years and a correction is due for all this printing of money, low interest rates and bailouts. But after this the economy will be booming if Trump can deregulate unnecessary regulations and lower the corporate tax rate.
Yes, as I said a week or so ago - Trump will listen to all sides on this issue. I think he is seeking to genuinely make the right decision for this country and the good of the American people, the world. And, God knows, when he has made up his mind he is difficult to dissuade or intimidate. I don’t want to get too optimistic or naive here, so I’ll wait and see. But from this statement I get a very good vibe. He is much closer to a proper little Presbyterian after all, not Attila the Hun. Cross your fingers on the “core.” Decency pops up in the strangest most unexpected places.
Most conservatives who voted for Trump in the general have been talking for months before the election that this more or less what they expected.
because that was Ted Cruz’s firewall, and they voted for someone clearly less conservative than Romney. 
No, it’s people who are being harmed and killed by CC…tho our population is continuing to grow…which means just that many more people who will be harmed and killed by CC over the next 100,000 years, assuming there are still humans around then.
Well at least I knew all along it was really about climate change and intentions to derail any attempts to mitigate CC.Most conservatives who voted for Trump in the general have been talking for months before the election that this more or less what they expected.
So the attempts by the liberal media to try and get conservatives to feel betrayed is not going to work. Believe me, we all know what it was about and if it goes bad, we’ll just blame the deep south evangelicals
Why not do both? I think this decision on the part of Trump is unfortunate.
This is not a realistic solution, it’s just silly science-fiction.
I think a lot of this could be privately funded (the climate one) but I’d really like to see the NASA space division funded better. And although this isn’t related funding for things like PBS could also be scrapped.
Personally, I don’t believe Trump or his advisers are particularly awake or too willing to admit or consider how little we understand our situation. It seems like he’s entirely swayed by groupthink, rather than attempting to look at the grand scale of things. I think you’re right, and I also believe that if we’re wasting endless trillions of dollars on our global war racket/architecture just to keep the economy and everything else running smoothly, we may as well just focus on space exploration instead. This endless, pointless military-based economy is probably the same reason the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. It’s just an endless pit to waste resources on, which evidently is required by enormous civilizations for some reason. I can’t wrap my head around the reasons why it’s required, but apparently it would all unravel without some bottomless pit to focus our collective energy on. I suspect that phrase “war economy” goes far deeper than any of us realize. And I know, too, there are some very astute economists who peruse CAF, so please point out and clarify my mistakes - I’m merely trying to make sense of the idocy I perceive in human affairs, which is far, far beyond my ken.
When we find that new planet, you and your negativity can just stay here! :dts:
Really? If mankind continues to progress in the decades to come, eventually we are going to spread out to other planets, thats a given imo.
It is important to understand that man spreading out to other planets, even if it happens, will not be a solution for the people living here now, or for the vast majority of their descendants. It would be a very elite few who actually got to leave earth.
I do agree with that, I even have my doubts whether God would allow mankind to achieve such progress.
