Not that 28 trilliion dollars that has gone into the War on Poverty has worked. Stop paying assholes not to work, and soon the new workers can help pay down the debt.Actually the game is handing out tax cuts to hedge fund managers and giant corporations and billionaiires like Bill Gates, and use that spending as an excuse to not pay the Social Security Fund back for all the raids on it since Eisenhower used it to build the interstate highway system and it has been raided ever since, for instance. All the DNC and RNC are doing is playing a 'good cop bad cop' scam, as always. The shiils from both wings are here to snivel and spam for their respective 'Causes', neither actually cares about what is actually good for the country, so the only thing that ever changes is the names from the lists of pre-sellected' candidates' who get air and press time, and of course the usual wave of ghost written fake 'biographies' that flood the markets near election times.
Our real crisis is Joe Bitme allowing millions of illegals to come into our country who are getting free stuff at the tax payer expense. They are using up our resources that should be for US citizens, not criminals who break the law coming here.Our 31+ trillion dollar debt is the real crisis. Republicans are the only adults in the room who have a plan to fix that. MAGA
Then why is Poopeypants crapping up 5 Depends a day and stumbling over himself worrying about it??As the Fitch credit rating service puts the United States on “watch” for a possible downgrade and Democrats dither about the 14th Amendment, Republicans just declared the House of Representatives in a break because, from their point of view, there really is no crisis.
In fact, from the GOP’s perspective, it’s all going according to plan.
As Teagan Goddard’s Political Wire noted yesterday:
It’s no accident or coincidence that the threat of a failure to pay the nation’s bills never once happened during the presidencies of Reagan, Bush, Bush, or Trump. Or that it did happen every single time during the presidencies of Clinton, Obama…and, now, Biden.
You could even call it a conspiracy: there’s an amazing backstory — with a unique name — here. And it all started with a guy named Jude Wanniski, who literally transformed American politics with a plan that the American mainstream media, astonishingly, continues to ignore.
Here’s how it works, laid it out in simple summary:
To set up its foundation, Wanniski’s “Two Santas” strategy dictates, when Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes on the rich, all to intentionally run up the US debt as far and as fast as possible.
They started this during the Reagan presidency and tripled down on it during the presidencies of Bush and Trump with massive tax cuts for billionaires and increases in spending across-the-board.
Those massive tax cuts and that uncontrolled spending during Republican presidencies produced three results:
Then comes part two of the one-two punch: when a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!”
- They stimulated the economy with a sort of sugar high, making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy;
- They raised the national debt dramatically (it’s at $32 trillion today, almost all of which tracks back to Reagan’s, Bush Jr.’s, and Trump’s massive tax cuts and Bush’s two illegal off-the-books wars);
- And they made people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Clauses.”
The “debt crisis,” that is, that they themselves created with their massive tax cuts and wild spending.
Do whatever it takes, the strategy goes: use the 1917 Liberty Bond debt ceiling to shut down the government, crash the stock market, and damage US credibility around the world if necessary.
This will force the Democratic president in the White House to cut his own social safety net programs and even the crown jewel of the New Deal, Social Security, thus shooting their welfare-of-the-American-people Santa Claus right in the face.
And, sure enough, here we are again with a Democrat in the White House.
The Debt Ceiling is just “Two Santas” in Drag
The only thing wrong with the U.S. economy is the failure of the Republican Party to play Santa Claus. —Jude Wanniski, March 6, 1976 As the Fitch credit rating service puts the United States on “watch” for a possible downgrade and Democrats dither...www.dailykos.com
There's only a the filthy rich, and monopoly corporations not paying even close to enough taxes problem.
Did you see the "Face Plant" of Joe Biteme at the graduation of Air Force Cadets" I bet many were looking at that as an ill omen that if they fly, they will come crashing down like Joe.....Then why is Poopeypants crapping up 5 Depends a day and stumbling over himself worrying about it??
I'm all for reducing (cutting) spending. Unfortunately, neither of the shit political parties agree with me beyond lip service. Lip service is useless.Stop raising the ceiling and start reducing spending
Start there
Dems squeal like stuck pigs if you even ask them to cut part of the spending increase.
Good. Because they don't have a tax problem. They have a spending problem.The gop is already planning on passing a tax cut in the 2023 House.
Our real crisis is Joe Bitme allowing millions of illegals to come into our country who are getting free stuff at the tax payer expense. They are using up our resources that should be for US citizens, not criminals who break the law coming here.
Wrong!And republican voters don't say a word when the GOP is going on spending spree's and raising the debt ceiling.
When?They'll work and pay taxes too.
