While listening to Donald Trump's acceptance speech it became clear as to why he has filed for bankruptcy so often.

Trump said that he will create the biggest tax cut in history, especially for the rich. With that tax cut Trump promises to rebuild the American infrastructure, excuse student loan obligations, increase education spending, increase the size of the military, bring back mining industries (coal), bring back the U.S. steel industries, bring back manufacturing, cut all trade deals so that they favor the U.S. and build a wall across the Mexican-U.S. border. (No mention of making Mexico pay for it.)

Trump told supporters what they wanted to hear and it was obvious that none of them thought about anything he said. The only way Trump can go forward on his many promises is to put his programs on the credit cards as did George W. Bush. That would be the high debt that Republicans claim is Obama's fault.

Trump used the standard hook, line and bait that Republicans always use. "FEAR!" It is discomforting to see so many people being lead by "FEAR." It's even worse to see so many people respond with their ignorance.
