Democrats Push Heavy Spending Without Reading the Bills

[g5000]

The US deficit has decreased during every Democratic presidency for the past 40 years.

The US deficit has exploded during every Republican presidency for the past 40 years.

Somehow, the Republican Party's rube herd believes their party is the party of fiscal austerity.

The amount of gaslighting it takes to achieve this kind of willful blindness is mind boggling.

Show me where Republicans lowered spending

In other words, they have never lowered spending.

 

[Rambunctious]

Did Spicer tell you Biden has been president for three years?

So what... and we were dealing with a covid pandemic...

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Correct.

The Repubs never lower spending.

The Dems never lower spending.

Yet due to your undying worship of the GOP they are not responsible one tiny bit for our 32 trillion dollar debt

By changing the context of my post, you made it look like I said Republicans never lowered spending when what I actually said is that you agreed that Dems have never lowered spending.

Well, then give us some examples of the Repubs lowering spending.

I will be happy to wait.

Why should I prove something that I never claimed, jackass?

Yet you claim they are some how better than the Dems even though they never cut spending either.

Cutting spending isn't the only alternative to spend like a drunken sailor as Dims always do

As do the Repubs. They spend no less than the Dems

More horseshit. Why do you waste your time posting these lies? Do you actually expect anyone to believe that you want to cut spending?

Then prove me wrong.

It matters not what you believe

7 trillion added to the debt in just 4 years of Trump and you fucking people never said a peep.

How much did he spend the first 3 years, pre-covid?

They why ask me to prove my post correct?

You just lied again.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I did not ask you to prove your post was correct.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

How much did he spend the first 3 years, pre-covid?

In Trump's first 3 FYs there was 15.1 trillion spent.

Of course you did.

Utter horseshit. Dims are responsible for almost all government spending.

I thought the conversation was the national debt increase. In Trump's first 3 years, it increased by about 4.3 trillion, very similar to Biden's increase. The difference in my mind is that while I am all for cutting into the debt and agree that both parties spend far too much money, Democrats are backwards thinking. They believe in raising taxes, which increases federal tax revenue in the short term, while decreasing it in the long term, while Republicans believe that decreasing taxes, while decreasing federal tax revenue in the short term, increases it in the long term. The Democrats evidently don't believe in growing tax revenue organically by letting people and corporations spend their money, thus growing the economy. They believe in artificial growth via higher taxes, which only damages our economy in the long term.

This is a start. Glad we can agree on this at least.

Democrats are backwards thinking. They believe in raising taxes, which increases federal tax revenue in the short term, while decreasing it in the long term, while Republicans believe that decreasing taxes, while decreasing federal tax revenue in the short term, increases it in the long term.

I think both views are too simplistic. Revenue goes up almost every year whether taxes are cut, added to or left the same. We do not have a revenue problem, taxes are not the answer to our debt problem. We have a spending problem, taxes will never fix this.
