LOL.... I am still waiting for Trump to appoint the 80 CZARS that Obama appointed his first week in office to totally by pass congressional oversight and immediately implement the progressive agenda and its important items like ensuring the federal agencies had gender free workplaces {SARC}

Yup, Obama doubly screwed us, by fostering lousy economic policies tied with artificially low interest rates. The 1% did well under him, though.

Deficits are much less damaging when you have robust economic growth. Obama didn't hit 3% in any year of his terms, the first ever not to do so.

So you are ready to make that assessment after 4 days of Trump being in office? What was your stance on Obama when he was still blaming GWB well into his second term?

You did live in Chicago??? How long have you lived here that you think the violence in Newark is worse than Chicago. As I said in an earlier response the takeover of police forces was a DOJ "tactic" that I used to demonstrate how the DOJ could intercede to stop violence in Chicago without jumping to martial law immediately. Curious why you purposely crafted your opening statement to be so "vague" in terms of identifying what town or city might under martial law? Coming to an unknown town or city near you MARTIAL LAW! Oh those nasty Republicans. Can't wait for you left wing loons to recycle the same conspiracy theories the right wing loons used during the Obama years. FEMA Shelter Camps deployed by Obama are really concentration camps etc.....

Yes it will and "president" trump is only going to make it worse. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/24/us/ ... t-deficit-trump.html?_r=0 "After seven years of fitful declines, the federal budget deficit is projected to swell again, adding nearly $10 trillion to the federal debt over the next 10 years, according to projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The numbers reveal the strain that government debt could have on the economy as President Trump presses to slash taxes and ramp up spending."

That was a federal response to a police involved shooting, not gang violence. Is the federal government going to step in and prosecute every gang shooting? I lived in Chicago. The shootings there are the one of the biggest challenges facing the city. Everyone is well aware of the problem. With that said murders in Chicago are generally trending downwards. They haven't gone north of 600 since 2003, and only two years above 500 since then. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/lo ... 7-20160302-htmlstory.html

Its clear the DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP has let us down...many including Obama thought that Trump once in office would moderate his stance...that we should give him a chance. That failed completely. The only thing left standing between tyranny and the semblance of a free society are the people. RESIST!

Chicago was ignored for one of 2 reasons.
1. Obama didn't want to make Emanuel look bad. 2. As long as the gangbangers are generally only killing each other, the authorities are looking the other way.

You are just throwing bombs.... not sure you even know how martial law declared... you certainly do not know the difference between Chiraq and Newark. All I did was cite a previous Federal response tactic to other troubled cities. Why Chicago has been ignored while hundreds are shot or killed annually was a disgrace.

I am hoping his planned budget cuts go through (ie. a 20% reduction in the federal workforce) and his infrastructure projects get bogged down in Congress. The United States has a massive debt bubble to deal with. Right now interest rates are basically negative in real terms, which has made the debt cheap to finance. A lot of the debt notes though are short term. A spike in interest rates will increase debt service significantly. Other debt issues: Social Security went cash flow negative in 2010. In the not too distant future, SS payments will be reduced. Medicare is even in worse shape than Social Security. State level public pension funds are in terrible shape. If there is a market correction, the chances of a State level pension default(s) is high (IL and RI will probably be the first to go). Since interest rates were kept so low, more and more of the pension assets were invested in higher risk investments (chasing yield). China for example has a very high debt load denominated in dollars. As the dollar strengthens, those debts are going to get harder and harder to service, which will lead to defaults.... which means investors (i.e. pension funds) will have to write off assets.

That sounds even worse. Ceding local control of our police forces to the federal government is a frightening proposition. If Trump is serious about fighting crime in Chicago he should legalize drugs.

You need to stop. He never mentioned what you are describing either. So glad our leader is making flippant comments on the internet in response to segments on the OReilly Factor. There are way more dangerous cities than Chicago, like Newark.

Let's bring the NYC 7 line to Jersey City. I need an alternative to get to work than PATH.

Even I think this is an alarmist statement, and it doesn't really help anyone. Federal assistance to a police force does not equal marshal law. Even if the feds 100% replace the local Chicago PD, that still doesn't make it martial law. We would have to suspend the normal rule of law, and I sincerely hope that wouldn't happen.

STOP... he never mentioned martial law in Chicago. He said he would send Federal Resources which starts with DOJ. Very similar to what Obama / Holder did in Ferguson and a dozen other cities with the federal goverment taking over the local police forces.
This Chicago problem was ignored by Obama DOJ and it was a promise to the black community to help stop the killings.... maybe JC will be next? Quote:

Trump casually mentioning that he might institute martial law in one of our most populous cities. Our President is insane, the Republican Party is now an authoritarian party.

So far his executive orders are in line with what is granted under the Constitutional executive powers. i.e. Restricting VISAs of specific nationalities. Carter did the same with Iranians during the hostage crisis. Trump first has to get all his Secretaries through the Senate. This takes time and there has been some resistance to a few of the nominees, in particular his pick to run the CIA, who's confirmation was delayed. What will come next will be the appointments making changes to their respective agencies. I expect a lot of people will be leaving the Dept. of Energy as a start. Everything else Trump wants will take an act of Congress. The first big battle will likely be over the budget. The Trump budget from what I have read is very close to what the House has proposed. The Senate has already signaled it will resist cutting a number of programs. i.e. Senator Murkowski of Alaska has already pledged to oppose any cuts to taxpayer subsidies of rural airline service.

I agree. We need to move on. I thought Trump said it best after the election. If getting the popular vote was the way to win he would have campaigned differently. Leave it at that! I guess he really feels he can prove there was that much fraud. There are much more important issues in my mind.
