Yes, this is definitely fact - though Muslim extremists are far more likely to cause terror attacks. The typical Muslim is not an extremist, though they hold some damn dangerous opinions - it's the radicalized ones that are most dangerous, whether Muslim or any sort of extremist.
The idea that the number going higher is irrelevant is unbelievably dangerous and ignorant. We have to pay interest on that debt, and the debt is already higher than the GDP. The economy is growing, and that's good, and investment is good in a time like this - infrastructure (which is crumbling) for example, to keep growth moving - but that's not what's happening.
As wealth inequality expands, it's worth noting that the worst income inequality may have been a factor in the great depression, and the recession we're just climbing out of - and this tax restructuring promotes income inequality like never before.
I hope I don't have to explain the disaster if we actually plunge back into a recession - or even depression - as the debt spikes insanely.
You really have no clue that he cut the deficit dramatically, do you? That we had a deficit of over 1.4 trillion when he assumed presidency, and 666 billion in 2017? (it was even lower for a while)
You completely missed that Bush jr doubled the debt after being left with a balanced budget, and Reagan literally tripled the debt. Did you know that?
Actually, the economy is doing so well right now because of Obama's policies. No president can influence the economy greatly in their first year, before even releasing a budget - the economy always lags a minimum of a year, and depending on what the previous president has done, it can be much longer. We'll be feeling this tax restructuring for considerably longer, for instance - and whether it does good or ill to the GDP will be seen in coming years, not yet.
It doesn't raise the debt by 1.5 trillion - it raises the deficit 1.5 trillion, over 10 years. That utterly skyrockets the debt. People keep failing to understand the difference - the deficit is the yearly cost of the budget beyond the income of the federal government.
The actual cost, to the debt, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is 3-7 trillion, with best estimates of 5.5 t.

Trump's tax plan lowers the taxes on the rich and megacorporations, to give us this huge bump in deficit, with a little for the middle class and poor. The most dangerous possible outcome is that wealth disparity is linked with economic repression and even depression.
The republicans championed lowering the deficit, until they lost their minds:
This looks like it goes into greater detail than I've ever read - it addresses precocious puberty as well as general physical maturity:
Your first point is largely true - but people certainly mature faster when they take on responsibility. I'm not suggesting we go back to child labor, but if you want them more mature at a younger age, ramping up responsibility matters.
People mature faster physically now largely due to improved diet. I can get you sources,if you would like them.
I am being honest, and I recognize what you're bringing up, here -though I'd really suggest that even in today's society, most 16 year olds are vastly more adult than child.
If you want to make that argument, the brain finally reaches peak, on average, at around 25. We should raise it, and really make them anxious, by your point. I'm a fan of small amounts for the younger crowd, at mealtimes, like they do it in Europe.
