STEAL STEAL STEAL STEAL STEAL....

What the Dems and post 1998 GOP have done since 1998....

 

[kyzr]

What pisses me off is that we're BORROWING that money .
I'm going to $25b to that list to keep US troops in the EU.
If the EU wants us there they can pay for it. I don't want to borrow it and pay interest on it.

NO LINE ITEM VETO = Trump had no choice

GIVE THE PREZ THE LINE ITEM VETO and this stuff gets the ax.... but the DEMOCRATS will NEVER DO THAT, because THAT IS HOW THEY STEAL OUR MONEY

I bet it pissed off all the democrats with that kind of spending, huh, Golf Gator?
Good grief, for being a self proclaimed 'middle of the road' poster, you sure are one sided

Nope, the Dems love that shit and are open about it.

It is the Repubs that also love it but pretend they do not so their sheep will keep voting for them.

You guys are nuts... trump is half way to completely eliminating the national debt. All these numbers you’re throwing out is all fake news.
Trump promised to eliminate the national debt. It has risen by $3 trillion

This is why nothing ever gets better. Both sides give their people a free pass...it is never their fault they are just victims.

 

[LaDairis]

When the Congress passes a budget, the Prez has only two options = sign or veto all of it....

Give the PREZ a third option, the LINE ITEM VETO, and maybe we can get control of our deficit/debt.... which is out of control

That is only because the Left continue to see themselves as "moderate centrists" even though they have moved wildly left since the early 1960s!

They are so far to the left now that even real moderates are seen by them as goose-stepping fascists now!

The problem is that the "right" has followed them to the left.

More precisely, the post 1998 GOP is completely different than the pre 1998 GOP.

The pre 1998 GOP was fiscally conservative and patriotic to America.

The post 1998 GOP only cares about ISRAEL....

Your dates are way off.

The last fiscally conservative president was a guy named Calvin.

You should at least move your dates to 1980 since Reagan was the furthest thing from a fiscally conservative

We had it for a while. The SCOTUS deemed it unconstitutional.
