Trump wants to refinance U.S. debt...after that declare bankruptcy!

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Thursday positioned himself on the far left of the political spectrum on fiscal issues, coming out for low interest rates, against a strong dollar and a more aggressive managing of U.S. debt.

In a wide-ranging phone conversation with CNBC, Trump said he would replace Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen when her term expires in 2018, though he didn’t really offer up any criticism of her.

Running the U.S.government like a business would inevitably lead to declaring bankruptcy and stiffing all those who hold U.S. Treasury bonds. Trump has used this technique multiple times to escape his bad investments..

Should be defaulted on.

The Federal Reserve loaning our Government it's own money is a scam to embezzle tax dollars. End the Federal Reserve!

The only debts this country owes is to it's citizens and our military men and women.
