Idiot Extraordinaire: Donald Trump

[BlameThe1st]

Donald Trump on the debt: "You never have to default because you print the money"

This is the United States government. First of all, you never have to default because you print the money. I hate to tell you. So there's never a default.

Shane, I've noticed that you've yet to name Donald Trump as either a Biggest Bogon Emitter or Idiot Extraordinaire. I think this most recent comment of his should place him as IE.

This is the type of economic illiteracy we'd come to expect from Democrats--which he used to be up until 2008. I'd expect someone like Paul Krugman to say something like that. In fact, Krugbot HAS said something like that: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/paul-krugman-answers-paul-ryan-debt-crisis-we-can-print-money

I'm not the least bit surprised that Trump would say something like this. I am flabbergasted that too many libertarians are actually supporting this guy. He's as fiscally conservative as Hillary Clinton! If that doesn't make him Idiot Extraordinaire, I don't know what will.

   " Who's got the dumbest disposition?
    One guess -- guess who!
    Who always always starts an argument? (Woman: Hmmmm?)
    Who always shows a bit of temperament?
    Who's never wrong but always right? (Donald: Yeah?)
    Who'd always dream of starting a fight? (Donald: That so?!)
    Who sucks life with all the dumb talk?
    No one... (Donald quacks angrily) but Donald Trump! (Donald: Yeah!)


Sorry, I couldn't help it!

And you, good sir, just got a cluon for making my day.

Sorry, but I think you'll have to do a lot worse than Krugman or Elizabeth Warren on a good day to make it. Especially seeing as how this week we have Paramount claiming that the Klingon language is copyrighted, and SJWs saying a woman was raped when she herself insists that she wasn't, both of which beat out the TSA considering an economist a potential terrorist because they thought the differential equation he was working on might be a secret code.

No, sorry, he's not even close!

That's not just mere idiocy: that's just evil.

I just realized. It also seemed familiar for some reason. Here's the reason:

Basically, the Egyptian Government said (using Hisham Andeel as a spokesperson), that Nations don't go bankrupt--corporations may, but not nations...

(this was in the days of the Muslim Brotherhood).

It's what Stefan refers to as a 'soft default':  The creditors get their money, but it doesn't mean anything any more.

So it sounds like this one of those, "Guys, you can't ALL be IE!" kind of weeks?
