Looks like rich people get more free stuff under the Republicans.

Anyone have any idea how much Biden has spent since taking office?

I have been told for the last 4 years that the president does not spend money, only congress does that.

Weird how that story changes when the party of the person in the White House changes

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Trump adds more than 8 trillion dollars and never one word from the right....now they care about it all of a sudden

 

[BlackSand]

Over $30 trillion and spiraling up.
Yawn.

To put it into perspective for those of us who aren't great in math.

Once you talk about anything over a couple of million ... No one really gives a fuck what the number is ...
At that point you are talking about imaginary money in imaginary numbers ...

Biden has already probably spent more than Trump did in 4 years. You know that it's the President that sets the agenda and his party just so happens to be in control of both house. So Biden gets what Biden wants. Right?

Ah, righties are concerned about the debt again. That can only mean there's a Democrat in the White House.

Don't forget the only reason for quantitative easing is because of the Great Republican Recession of 2008. Brought on wholly by failed Republican domestic policies, that led to the crash of the housing market, the US auto industry. All saved because of the actions taken by the Obama administration, leading to the longest economic growth and jobs creation in history.

Just a reminder: This doesn't happen because of tax cuts. Especially tax cuts to rich people and corporations. Which coincidentally, those tax cuts, and military spending since the 80's, is why we have that debt.

The only reason we have that debt.

Fool, it was Andrew Cuomo who caused the housing market crash. Dont you fuckers ever take responsibility for fucking up the country?

Here's what really caused the housing crisis

“Under Clinton’s Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, Andrew Cuomo, Community Reinvestment Act regulators gave banks higher ratings for home loans made in ‘credit-deprived’ areas. Banks were effectively rewarded for throwing out sound underwriting standards and writing loans to those who were at high risk of defaulting.

Then when he fucked up that, he gets elected to Governor where he kills 10s of thousands of elderly.

You mean during the start of the COVID pandemic? Yeah, Goonblow. You’re not an obvious hack or anything.

No, before Covid, the king of debt, was the king of debt.

In a March 31, 2016, interview with Bob Woodward and Robert Costa of The Washington Post, Trump said he could pay down the national debt, then about $19 trillion, “over a period of eight years” by renegotiating trade deals and spurring economic growth.

On July 27, 2018, he told Sean Hannity of Fox News: “We have $21 trillion in debt. When this [the 2017 tax cut] really kicks in, we’ll start paying off that debt like it’s water.”

By early 2019, the national debt had climbed to $22 trillion. Trump’s budget proposal for 2020 called it a “grave threat to our economic and societal prosperity” and asserted that the U.S. was experiencing a “national debt crisis.”

By the end of 2019, the debt had risen to $23.2 trillion and more federal officials were sounding the alarm.

$4 trillion in 2 years.

Trump's cult.....................conned again.

Sure. He had the power of the Dem controlled legislature.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Sure. He had the power of the Dem controlled legislature.

He had GOP controlled legislature for two years and almost doubled the deficit in those two years.

 

[Mr Natural]

What we need is another round of tax cuts for the billionaires!

Maybe in 2023 when the repubs retake control of the house and senate

Your math is proof of your retardation.

Why don't you bet him, Welshy?

Thanks GOP for the world depressions 2008 and 2021,

Yeah, because Dems wouldn't have had either, eh comrade?

Exactly!
Because the Dems were fighting against the housing bubble every chance they got.

How were the Dems fighting against the housing bubble?
