Pay-go will inhibit counter-cyclical spending and make the next recession worse. The Dems have learned nothing.

Paygo is statutory so unless the Senate and President cooperates there will be paygo no matter what rules package the House selected.  Paygo does not inhibit counter-cyclical spending or indeed any spending at all, as demonstrated by the massive increase in deficit spending under Trump.  Paygo can be waived at any time by Congress and often is.  That is even more true of a mere House procedural rule.  The paygo "debate" is entirely symbolic.

So how do you think Trump's first Primetime Address is going to go tonight?

The only important question is: will it get good ratings? Tremendous ratings? Best ratings in history? the sort of ratings Hillary would never have had?

It will go over bigly.  That, I can tell you.

Will he mention how he won the elections?

I look forward to Donald attempting to singlehandedly persuade millions of people opposed to the wall to agree with him.

He can basically just repeat the speech he made to kick off his campaign.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Everyone is talking about how great My Address is. I've been hearing People saying it is Best in History.  Some people were comparing it to Getty's Bird address.  Greater than Lincoln?  A lot of people are Saying It.  Lincoln fought a War to Secure the Southern Border and the Democrats tried to Stop him. It Didn't work then and it Want Work today.  Must have Secure Broader!

The Democrats voted for Walls but now They say walls don't Work.  Sad! The Berlin Wall kept France safe in II World War. Israel built the Wall of Jericho to keep out ISIS and skeet Ulrich. Churchill built an Iron Curtain to keep Communists out of England. We need a NEW IRON CURTAIN for America Now!

The Atlantic Wall is a shining example of US-German cooperation!  And Germany paid for it!
