I think that Trump was the best President of modern times.
That ain't saying much. The RNC doesn't want any good presidents. Someone that actually stands for fiscal and constitutional conservatism.
However, he was still a big government President. He still ran up the debt and didn't do too much to reduce the damn welfare state. He grew the size of the government.
I think DeSantis is the best Governor in the country. I love his anti wokeness agenda. However, he ain't perfect either. He ran on a platform of no new taxes but created the filthy ass internet tax. He also didn't championed open carry in the state with the Constitutional Carry bill.
He also completely eliminated some taxes. And reduce a bunch more. That's leaps and bounds above Trumps tax record. The tax deductions he eliminated made the tax cuts almost a wash.
Then when you account for the loss of USD value from the borrowing and spending, we ended up paying more.
Republicans are always better than Democrats. That is not even debatable. However, at the end of the day the Republicans are also a party of big government.
Better at what?
Don't get me wrong, I was a republican for many years. Then I discovered what fiscal conservatism was. When you consider that Republicans have spent more money and raised the debt ceiling more times than the democrat have, it's hard to support them.
The left has their whacko's like AOC, the squad, Bernie and now Biden (again). But I think there's still more moderate democrats who don't really care for the radicals in their party. But they have their backs against the wall for the same reason many republicans who don't like Trump don't stand up against him.
DC has it's own cancel culture. Don't tow the party line and you'll get primaried.
Trump did that very thing to Thomas Massie for wanting a quorum call when the NDAA was being voted on.
Just wait and see how this RINO House folds like a cheap suit and let the Democrat shitheads increase the debt. What they need to be doing is saying no more debt. Only spend what we have coming in but they don't have the courage to tell the Democrat filth to shove it.
I'm OK with the debt ceiling increase. What I'm not OK with is the House ramping up spending that's going to create another reason to increase the debt ceiling again. After the debt ceiling increase, the House should NOT, under no circumstances allow anymore spending than what's necessary to meet important obligations.
For example: No more money for BS like gender studies that was funded during Trump. Or any of that kind of BS. Just pay for what we have to have. Make no new obligations for stupid crap. Then there won't be a need for any more debt ceiling increases.
When the printing presses stop, so does inflation.
