Mitch McConnell and McCarthy own the deficit

[Billiejeens]

The economic boom of the 1990s was due to the beginnings of the age of information technology, which Al Gore lead.

There was no need for massive government spending with a booming economy

What wrecked America was when GW Bush wasted the federal surplus on tax cuts for the wealthy instead of paying down the deficit.

Cutting Federal Spending during an economic down turn causes a humanitarian disaster!

Nope
None of it.
Literally none of it.

It ended up costing hundreds of billions of dollars less than it was supposed to. Meanwhile the savings came in well above anything anyone predicted.

It’s been almost a decade and a half and relative health care costs haven’t grown. Real per beneficiary Medicare spending is still at 2010 levels (after 45 years of steady growth up until 2010). This is unprecedented stuff.

You

insane.

I knew the ACA’s success was going to blow rightwing minds. Little chance the trends of the last thirteen years would pierce the right wing infotainment bubble, so no doubt this is your first (no doubt uncomfortable) encounter with reality. Surprise!

Yup.
All of it.

It is not reality.
It was an unmitigated disaster.
Very few disasters in the US rival that of Obamacare.

Weird how you cultists hang together in the face of all factual information.

Your talking points passed their sell-by dates more than ten years ago.

It’s 2023, the data are in. Record coverage, under budget, vast overperformance on savings, better access, better quality and health outcomes, untouchable in Congress (even the GOP doesn’t dare talk about laying a finger on it anymore, for good reason).

Very few legislative packages have had as much success as Obamacare.

Reality disagrees with you. W massively increased spending, and that resulted in a near depression.

You are obviously a left wing liar leech and you were screaming in the mid 1990s for more spending as spending CUTS gave the American people prosperity not seen since...

 

[elektra]

And McCarthy and the GOP really dug in and cut spending.... NOT!!!

Much of that spending was mandatory spending initiated by Obama.

Quit being such a partisan sap

You "Republicans" who are tolerant of big spending by Republicans are part of the problem, the biggest problem...

Of course we are, democrats never load up the budget with mandatory spending, like Obama care and green energy subsidies. And there certainly is no inflation. And it was not the democrats screaming crying and threatening hell on earth if Republicans did not raise the debt ceiling

Now, go back and reread what I said.

You're reply makes absolutely no sense relative to my post.

But that's expected coming from a MAGGOT!

Al Gore, you are delusional

 

[ActionJackson]

It is the clear truth. Neither McCarthy nor McConnell has tried at all to cut the spending and get the deficit under control. Just the opposite, both are for funding Ukraine ever more, but at least on that score McCarthy has had a tiny bit of public restraint that didn't matter... none from ZPF McConnell

They're in bed with the Deep State and have been for years. Neither has ever concerned themselves with America or Americans. They're interested in their foreign relationships and/or power, money, and whatever club they're in.

You are a left wing lunatic traitor who cares not about America. You hate America. You lie to harm America.

Tax and spending cuts budgets in the 1990s brought America great prosperity, and you HATE THAT TRUTH.

Educate yourself, fool!

The reason they could afford those cuts was because the economy was doing well due to the information technology revolution. That's what caused the prosperity.

GW Bush cut taxes and the economy went into the tank. Reagan cut taxes in the early 1980s and the economy went into the tank. Reagan then ballooned Federal spending to get the economy going again.
