How does an individual LOSE $1 Billion in a year?

[Mac1958]

You're right, I don't give a shit about Trump's taxes BUT I DO NOT WANT HIM ANYWHERE NEAR THE WH...

I don't blame you, and I agree with you.

But this specific issue just doesn't fly. Billionaires take big risks - that's most likely how they became billionaires - and lose big at times.

There are plenty of other flaws to go after.

Yo have to actually make a billion to invest that much in something you may lose it all doing. That's how you lose a billion dollars. Not something you will ever experience with your government job.

Hey, nitwit.......the 1 billion loss was money that Trump had borrowed from bankers...not his......Yes, Trump was a fantastic scammer who managed to convince stupid bankers to invest in his failed casinos and failed airline.....
Bankers took the hit and Trump got to get away from paying taxes for 2 decades.....Oh, yeah, Trump is real good on screwing people.

Hey, nitwit........and so you're going to vote for the establishment ho who with her friends has lost TRILLIONS of dollars they BORROWED. That's your solution? Damn, not a rocket scientist, are you? The chick can't live on budgets of trillions of dollars a year

We are not talking about a country here (although there are some whose GDP is just about $1 billion), but we are talking about an individual who is running for president on the mantra of "the best businessman on the planet.....ever......trust him, believe in him....he's the greatest, etc."

Yes, our tax system is seriously flawed in allowing someone, like Trump, to not only list losses of $916 million in ONE single year (and the repercussions that such a loss may have also caused on others)....BUT to turn around and be exempt from any tax burden for 18 subsequent years...........AND, the clincher, is to carry on in your lifestyle after such a loss, to STILL be living in a penthouse, have a private plane and still be able to walk into most banks and get additional risky loans.

I know that many of us have written Trump's eulogy over many other discovered flaws in Trump's character and history, but surely the average voter must place aside any hatred of Clinton and REJECT this charlatan who could seriously damage not only our economy, but who is thin-skinned enough to even risk our world standing.

Trump wants to trust him as a businessman?

Hillary wants you to trust her as a politician.

Hillary cannot afford to let anything go.
Her primary tactic isn't to show us what she has to offer. Her tactic has always been to trash whomever she faces. She knows that she cannot make herself look trustworthy, but she hopes that she can trash her opponent enough to make her look at least more competent in comparison. Problem is, she has to really lie her ass off to do this.

The federal government, dumb ass. How did you not get that?

Seriously, Hillary and the establishment have a $3.7 trillion budget, and they are blowing it racking up trillions in deficits. They have a serious spending problem, we need to freeze their credit card and stop increasing the borrowing limit

First of all, Hillary is not holding any elective or appointed office, so as you know, she cannot spend anything.
Secondly, the republican held congress is the only body that can write and pass spending legislation, so if you must place blame, its shouldered directly on Republicans.

First of all, she's the heart of the system. And second, you blame Reagan for the deficits too, don't you? Third, you don't get the second question, do you?

So just to be clear, you think Hillary's going to stop the deficit spending? Did you really just say that, baa baa sheep?

Don't tell me who I blame and who I don't. As a matter of fact, I never blamed Reagan. Now is Hillary going to stop the deficit spending? Why don't you ask me if the republicans in the House will stop writing and passing spending bills. That would be a more appropriate question.
Do tell me, that you think a trump election, would stop deficit spending. If you say yes, i must ask what drugs you are taking.

An inspector general's report stated that $6 billion in U.S. State Dept. expenditures weren't properly accounted for during Hillary Clinton's tenure there.

When Hillary Clinton's State Department received an inspector general's alert in 2014 charging that the paperwork on $6 billion in government contracts hadn't been properly accounted for, it didn't mean, despite some loosey-goosey media reporting at the time, that the money itself was "lost" or "missing."

Why don't you ask me if the republicans in the House will stop writing and passing spending bills

Remember when Newt did that to slick? Your guy went ape shit and said he "shut down" Washington. The media said they agree and pounded the Republicans into submission. Remember when the Republicans tried to do that to your guy Obama? He went ape shit and said they were going to "shut down" Washington. The media said they agree and pounded the Republicans into submission.

Now what do you suppose Hillary will do when the Republicans try to shut off the credit card increases for her? You know exactly what she will do.

So what credible difference does it make regarding Hillary even if you knew what you were talking about regarding a billion dollar loss by Trump? She's going to grow the deficit by trillions and not bat an eye, just like Obama. So your argument even if true against Trump means exactly ... what?

I feel sorry for the poor republicans, they get taken advantage of so easily. No matter how you try to spin it, its the republicans who are authorized to spend money and no one else.

What a flaming hypocrite you are. Democrats shit smells like lilacs to you.

I'm in neither party because you're both pathetic.

I love it. You. It's the Republican. Me. It's both of you. You, Gawd, that is so biased ....

Washington is out of control with spending. But Trump suddenly becomes a concern to you when we both know Hillary won't lose a wink of sleep while she spends trillions we don't have

For a guy who is in neither party, you do a pretty good job of beating up the Democrats while ignoring the spending of the republican party. I will say this one last time, Hillary or any other President can not spend a dime if it isn't given to them by Congress. Do something about congress, my friend, and stop electing the same people time after time

An inspector general's report stated that $6 billion in U.S. State Dept. expenditures weren't properly accounted for during Hillary Clinton's tenure there.

LIAR !!!!!! (this is when right wingers get caught in their own LIES based on rumors.......)...APOLOGIZE

The confusion prompted Inspector General Steve Linick to pen a clarification in the Washington Post.

"Some have concluded based on this that $6 billion is missing. The alert, however, did not draw that conclusion," he wrote. "Instead, it found that the failure to adequately maintain contract files — documents necessary to ensure the full accounting of U.S. tax dollars — ‘creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions.’ "

In other words, the State Department was terrible at paperwork. The $6 billion figure refers to the total amount affected by file mismanagement. It’s akin to spending $20 on lunch and losing or not asking for a receipt. Documentation over where that $20 went was lost, but not the $20 itself.

So the State Department under Clinton, who wasn’t mentioned in the alert, may have been financially disorganized, but it didn’t "lose" $6 billion.

Pants on Fire: Trump lawyer accuses Clinton of murder
