According to the old saying, When America sneezes the world catches a cold. You’re absolutely right about being concerned, we all need to be, but we do have a massive exposure to things that happen across the pond. We need to focus on getting our house in order pdq. |  | |  |

The US economy is huge and can soak up a lot more than we can, their economy is growing, unemployment is not an issue their and they have a low welfare structure. It's similar to personal earnings, if you earn £2000 a month a £500 a month shock will hit you very hard, if you earn £10000 a month you may be able to ride a £1000 shock. Food and fuel prices are going to hit our economy very hard this winter. The US on the other hand is more self sufficient in both respects. We are that £2000 a month person about to get hit hard, so we can't borrow any more because we are comparative bad risk, the worst in the G7; according to the bond markets. We have to grow our income to improve our financial position and not spend any more because our costs are already going up. |  |

I don't agree with what he is doing, but is it illegal if the payment goes to everyone over a certain age not only those who vote for his party. |  | |  |

It probably would not be illegal if the payment were unconditional, but Trump says that payment is contingent on the Republicans winning both the House and the Senate.. That is the "sailing close to the wind" aspect. |  | |  |

Is it any different to a political party pre election saying for example, if we win the election we will increase the state pension and child benifit by 10% putting X amount into the pocket of those involved. As I say I am not defending Trump because I feel he is an idiot, but I don't think what he is planning is illegal. |  | |  |

If the 5,000 gets paid that's more honest than some of the lies we get told. Anyone's electric bill gone down by £300 yet? |  |

I've just been speaking to a colleague freshly back from Disney Orlando, apparently in the park there's a "parade of presidents" wax work / animatronic show or similar. Its the second time he's seen it in two years, the first time Trump got applauded, this time he said you could hear a pin drop and a few boo's. |  | |  |

Roll on his annihilation in the mid-terms. When he becomes a lame duck President perhaps some sanity will be restored to the world. |  | |  |

We are not the worst risk when you look at debt to GDP or government debt and private debt. The UK economy is 4.26 trillion and our debt is 3.017 trillion. The USa economy is worth 32.38 trillion but it's debt is over 38 trillion. I'm not so sure they can ride the coming bumps that well. Trump and Canada are at loggerheads, he's spending a fortune attacking Iran and now he wants to spend another trillion lus to bribe US voters? Lets face it, it's a bribe. He'snot saying vote for me and you get the money and while the words may be acceptable legally, we can sill see what he's doing. |  | |  |

Depends what other choices we make, but there's not much room to increase taxes as our economy has been too flat for a while to take more money out. |  |

He did not say if it was taxable. Probably had not thought about it. That will be the first pull back. Non taxpayers will do better than taxpayers. The guys in the hood will be delighted at that. I like to quantify the debt and deficit in terms of the population as a whole person head. This includes everyone including non taxpayers like children and OAPs. UK debt $4,000,000 million. Pop 70m . Individual debt. $57,000. (£43,000) USA debt. $36,000,000 million Pop. 350m Individual debt. $103,000. (£79,000) The uK middle class has huge property gains over the last 40 years. UK wealth is tied up in bricks. Labour core support is from renters and council house people. A property tax is on its way. [Post edited 12 Sep 14:20]
