Allow me to make an audacious suggestion. Albeit one that's a bit tardy.

what's so funny about it?

This thread really has turned into a epic failure for you

Hilarious

Has any of you maga sycophants explained why considering deficits under the Reagan administration that you fuckups assert all spending originates in the House.

Explain why you all do that then.

 

[otto105]

Because it was the POWER of TIP O'Neal to control all spending!!!!!!

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

On Sunday, Trump again insisted the problem “is on the left.”

Trump again lied that the problem is on 'the left.'

Well, he was a member of the House, the SPeaker in fact, a very powerful position. Not sure your point....

My point is obvious.

You ignore it to deny Reagan and republic pols any responsibility of massive deficits ran under the Reagan administration.

how am I ignoring it? I literally addressed it, heck you obviously were unaware of it until we educated you on how budgets are passed.

The arson of Shapiro's home was from a pro-Palestinian guy. That's one on your side, not ours.

The Pelosi attacker was an equal-opportunity nutjob. He had no clear political leanings, unless you count crazy.

None of that is true

You didn't do anything of such fuckup.

You kept posting that all spending originates in house. An assertion that republic pols and a president powerless to stop them.

Exactly what did you address? Excuses for the economic failures of Reagan or the failure to deflect responsibility to the Democratic Party.

30 things we know about the arson attack at the Pennsylvania governor’s residence

More information is coming to light daily about the attack and suspect Cody Balmer.

www.cityandstatepa.com

5 - Police say Balmer’s actions were politically motivated

According to a search warrant for a residence at South 29th Street in Penbrook Borough, police say Balmer called Dauphin County 911 after setting the fires, “and related that Governor Josh Shapiro needs to know that he ‘... will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.’” Police say his remarks during the 911 call “demonstrates Balmer’s political motivation for his conduct.”

First of all, being a creditor/debtor nation was affected by our modest budget deficits/surpluses.

We had enough working capital to loan other nations more than we borrowed. Reagan started running massive budget deficits for the first time in our history(not war related) that caused us to be a debtor nation.

What previous administrations pass in legislation affects future ones. All of the Great Society, Social agendas, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid started to add up. Compounding increases year after year after year. With the Congress increasing that over the inflation rate also. Our deficits began around 1971/1972. We cut the final string to the gold standard from the Bretton Woods agreement at that time as the Reserve Currency of the world those nations who had investments in our currency could have asked for their money in gold. We did not have it. DeGaulle in France asked for that. Just look at the costs of our total social programs and add in states, cities, regional areas that also pays for federal mandated programs as their taxes mushroomed.

None of that is true

All of that is true.

Balmer was described by his brother as a political independent until 2024, when he tried to convince his family members to vote for Donald Trump. In a warrant to search Balmer's possessions issued after the incident, state police stated in their search warrant that Balmer had targeted Shapiro based on "perceived injustices toward the people of Palestine". In a 911 call previously made by Balmer, he characterized Shapiro as a "monster" who should stop having his friends killed, put his people "through too much" and said that he would not take part in Shapiro's "plans" for Palestinians.

And as for the Pelosi attacker...

In 2007, DePape started a personal blog, initially writing about topics such as spirituality and the natural psychedelic ibogaine. In the months before the attack, DePape resumed writing on his blog after a long hiatus, this time on conspiracy theories and alt-right politics. In posts on social media and at least two blogs, DePape espoused far-right views, promoting QAnon, Pizzagate, and other far-right conspiracy theories, as well as sharing far-right Internet memes.
...
Party affiliation records note DePape to be a Green Party member as of 2014; according to Taub, he was "more on the far left than the far right" during their relationship. Experts on extremism and terrorism say that such shifts in views – from left-wing fringe movements to the far-right – can be held as "side switching", a fairly common phenomenon among persons who are radicalized online, who shift between "mutually exclusive or hostile ideologies" through "bridging areas" such as antisemitism, anti-government stance, and misogynist beliefs.

of course I did, you weren't even aware before we brought it to your attention.

I keep posting it, because it's true. Certainly, the Senate can stop whatever the House passes and the President could also veto any bill.

nobody suggested that couldn't happen, you are the one referring to Tip O'Neal as "all powerful" and talking about kings...nobody else is.

Idiot, we ran a budget surplus in 1969.

Massive deficits first started in the 1980s under Reagan.

Who was the last republic president to have a budget surplus?

Dude, just stop with the reach around.

So, if the Senate and President can stop whatever the House passes. So, why blame the House for Reagan's massive budget deficits?

Who blamed just the house? Nobody

You seem to be very confused

People just informed you that it wasn’t Reagan alone, just like they informed you that the current fiscal year isn’t trumps
