Less gubment. Small gubment. No gubment. No restrictions. The GOP ideal. They hired dumb don and got what they wanted! Didn't they?

Dumb don castrated gubment eunucized it crushed it infected it dismembered it beheaded it. Now there is NO GUBMENT at all. That's the way they and their ILK like it.

All thanks to the brilliance of their selection and his predictability. They knew he was a destructor not a builder. He has not let them down and he has only just begun. He plans to get his second wind. Of course some of them will also be deconstructed and destructed in the process but no matter.

    The original intent of the framers of the Constitution was to have a limited government. And to help ensure this, the three branches of the government, though different, were to be co-equal in power, as a safety valve to keep the government in check.  As a third-generation United States citizen, I have always advocated the Framer's intent of a small/limited government. Unfortunately, there are those who prefer a huge government that controls pretty much everything and is working hard to eliminate the framers' intentions which, in all reality, is a recipe for disaster.

    Here is an interesting bit of history. When was the last time that the United States had NO federal debt to speak of? The answer is 1836. In 1836, Andrew Jackson (A Democrat and founder of the Democratic party) was President of the United States. From 1792 to 1834, the United States was slowly able to whittle down the size of its debt in relation to its GDP. In 1792, the Debt to GDP % was 35.1; by 1834, this number had been brought down to just 0.39%. 

     In 1835 and 1836, the United States (according to public records) had no public debt to speak of - a 0% Debt to GDP ratio that I'm sure will never be duplicated again. Since 1836, the United States has managed to add nearly 24 trillion dollars and this number is expected to rocket higher over the next decade.

    My point here is that every Democratic and Republican administration since Andrew Jackson has added to the national debt, and not just under the Trump administration. Does this massive national debt bother me? Of course, it does. However, singling out and pointing a finger only at President Trump for adding to the national debt is a bit unfair considering that all the administrations that came before him were just as guilty.
