Trumps debt ceiling problem

[YoursTruly]

The die hard Trump supporters, who keep complaining about the debt ceiling, need to decide to either support Trump and the debt ceiling. Or simply not support him.
If not raising the debt ceiling now is important to you, why in the world would you want someone like Trump in office with a debt ceiling increase record.

You can't have it both ways on everything. Eventually you're going to have to realize that Trump sucks on monetary policies. And realize just how much monetary policy affects everyone's lives.
You can't just keep supporting those who simply don't care how much they borrow, spend then increase the ceiling so they can borrow more.


Debt Ceiling Under Trump
The debt ceiling increased two times under President Donald Trump, but the Trump administration also tinkered with the budget and the debt ceiling in other ways throughout its four years. When Trump was sworn into office in January 2017, the national debt stood at $19.9 trillion. By November 2020, the debt had increased to over $27 trillion.

Under Trump the debt ceiling increased:

• by $1.7 trillion to $19.8 trillion (de facto) in March 2017,
• by $2.2 trillion to $22 trillion in March 2019.

Trump suspended the debt ceiling in August 2019, through July 2021. At the time of the 2020 election, the national debt stood at over $27 trillion, the fastest rate of increase of the national debt of any modern president.

Trump's not in office....when he was he was able to work with Congress to ensure we didn't default...Xiden's there now, and has refused to work with Congress on it...it's XIden's problem

You’re right, trump should have vetoed all of that Covid spending…..

Trump slashed taxes on the wealthy

The Republican Congress had no problem raising the debt limit to support it

 

[Astrostar]

Well, thankfully, Trump ain't there and will never be again. One disaster from him is enough! Bigly!!!

 

[Natural Citizen]

There is always more debt in the system than there is currency in existence to pay the debt by design.

The very notion of a so-called ''debt ceiling'' is a dilusion. And laughable...

Right, 500 disasters from Poopeypants is sooo much better.
Wacko.

They don't care about any of that. They don't care what he does or doesn't do.

They just don't care.

This isn't about the demented one. It's about the one you Trump supporters are wanting to replace poopypants with. Someone with a HUGE spending and debt ceiling problem.

 

[YoursTruly]

You’re right, trump should have vetoed all of that Covid spending…..

And the funding for gender studies in Pakistan. Planned Parenthood. That long border fence in the middle east. The worm reproductive system studies funding.

Apparently Trump lost his veto pen, because he only vetoed 1 spending bill in 4 years. And that was because it didn't spend enough.

They don't care about any of that. They don't care what he does or doesn't do.

They just don't care.

^^^This is how you know they're in a cult...still blaming the previous president for Joe's problems two years later.

That's cause he cut taxes on all working Americans, and thus raised tax revenue for the Govt....and wages for Americans

Xiden on the other hand has made Americans poorer through his war on the working class

Cutting taxes reduces revenue and increases debt

No, actually revenue increased.

FY 2019	$3.46 trillion
FY 2018	$3.33 trillion
FY 2017	$3.32 trillion
FY 2016	$3.27 trillion

Debt increases because of spending, and the largest driver of debt is entitlement programs that the Dems refuse to reform.
"Medicare and Medicaid are the single biggest drivers of the federal deficit and the federal debt by a huge margin." - Obama 2009

Obama says Medicare and Medicaid are largest deficit drivers. Yes, over the long term.

During a town hall on health care, an audience member asked President Barack Obama about the cost of health care reform,

Stop blaming Trump for all of the shit Congress, Biden, and the rest of Washington keeps doing.

Trump was there for less than 4 years....and the people causing all of this stuff to happen have been there since I was in High School.

I'm blaming Trump for ONLY what Trump did. The House and Senate passed all those spending & ominbus bills. But I'm blaming Trump for signing them. Why aren't you? Are you not allowed to hold your orange master accountable for anything?
Especially suspending the debt ceiling. That's some shit even the liberals don't do.

BTW, the democrats are eating the GOP's lunch when it comes to spending. At the moment, since 1980, the Republicans are on record for spending more money than the democrats have. And since 1960 - 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents.

Trump had a choice....sign something that our corrupt congress passed that costs money, or veto it and have his veto overruled and then blamed for cutting back on spending that the corrupt media will say was essential.
Trump was gonna be blamed for everything bad that happens using the excuse that he cut back on spending or got rid of regulations.
They used this excuse when they blew up that train in East Palestine.

Trump was in office three years ago... you do know this right?... things change in three years.... conditions change.... you dig back like a rabbit in a gofer hole to try and disparage Trump but it just makes you look foolish....

Anyone that cares about America leading over China, India and other powers and maintaining our place in the leadership of the world understands it takes money. Always has and always will take a lot of money to be the super power. We either pay the piper or risk being ruled over by the Chinese one day.

Frankly, one thing I like about Trump is the fact that at least in some ways he understands this.
