Deficits should be decreasing in this climate...
That's all you can say? Anyway, you need to talk to your fellow Democrats about the deficit. They are the ones who insist on more and more spending hikes. Just look at the floor debates over the last budget deal.
I’m an independent. I’m lookIn at the party in control. Can’t blame Dems, sorry.
Oh, yes you can blame the Democrats because they've been using their filibuster minority in the Senate to hold every spending measure hostage to their demands for more spending. Every bill now requires 60 votes because of what the Senate Democrats are doing. Just look at the spending they demanded in the most recent budget deal. This is a matter of record.
The republicans didn’t need to pass spending, they are the majority. You are not smart...
This is whacky. If the Republicans did not pass spending, either a CR or a regular bill, the government would shut down. But Senate Democrats have been forcing super majorities to get any spending passed. Since the Republicans don't have a super majority, and since not enough Dems have been willing to break ranks, the Republicans have had to give the Dems the spending that they demand in order to get any spending measure passed.
If the Dems would not filibuster but would allow bills to pass with normal majorities, we would not be spending nearly as much as we are now because Senate Republicans could pass bills with their narrow majority.
How can you not know these things?
