Has the Trumped GOP lost Fiscal Restraint as an Issue?

[Mac1958]

Those evil RINOs...

Thune is a RINO.

Did I call it?

They have an awful fiscal records. Deficits climb every time we have a repub. Trump inherited a strong economy and sill drastically increased deficits.

He was a hyper-Keynesian. Keynes was rolling over in his grave.

You mean deficits didn't increase under Obama, and they haven't increased under Swiss cheese brain?

Deficits increase under repubs. Even when handed a strong economy, trump drastically increased deficits.

Since when has the GOP been fiscally conservative? Oh I know! When Democrats are in office. Other than that they are spendthrifts.

The Dim definition of "fiscally conservative" means willing to raise taxes to cover their profligate spending.

 

[NightFox]

LOL, the GOP used to TALK about being "fiscally conservative" but they never actually did anything about it.

.. and it wasn't Douche Bag Donny that destroyed that charade it was George W. Bush and his "compassionate conservatism" borrow & spend nonsense.

And repubs cut taxes and increase spending and increase deficits. At least tax increases are honest. Adding to debt this the worst.

They should probably throw out the idea that regulation and tax cuts grow the economy too. Trump couldn’t even hit 3% growth while running a trillion dollar deficit.

Barry averaged 1.9% growth.

Gee, ya think?

Those evil RINOs are trying to bring the party back to the days of at least CLAIMING to be "fiscally conservative", before Trump's All You Can Eat Fiscal Donut Shop opened for business:

GOP worries fiscal conservatism losing its rallying cry

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) said “unfortunately” fiscal concerns are “probably” not as important to the GOP base as 10 years ago and that Trump helped transform the party’s priorities.

“It wasn’t something that was an important issue for President Trump, and so many of our base voters align themselves with President Trump. It’s almost like now debt, deficits, spending become abstract issues that a lot of folks aren’t paying attention to and should be,” he said.

There was a “political evolution,” Thune said, and the fiscal conservatism that was a core tenet of the Tea Party “got displaced ... by the more populist elements” of the Republican Party.

He went on to say that while Trump was able to energize voters by hitting on hot-button cultural topics, such as immigration and border security, it’s now time for the GOP to get back to its traditional stance on fiscal issues.

“I’m frankly very concerned about the level of spending and debt, and I think Republicans have got to be the adults in the room and exercise the fiscal responsibility that seems to have been absent, lacking the last several years,” Thune said.

Mac's daily homoerotic obsessive Trump thread. The usual circle jerk shows up to mutually gratify each other. Carry on.....

Thune is a RINO. All those who claim that the GOP has lost its way were opposed to the GOP agenda from the start. Tell us why anyone should believe anything they say?

Trump was a giant failure.:
huge deficits, giant bailouts, riots, recession, most pandemic deaths, couldn’t hit 3% gdp growth, failed tariffs....

Trump handed the Potted Plant a booming economy.

It's all both parties have, however at least the Democrats don't try to hide their love of the Federal Reserve Printing Presses.

Dems at least want to increase taxes. That the only way voters will care about debt.

Keep telling yourself that while Joe rings the cash register.. btw what did The House do.....

 

[blackhawk]

No the Republicans are not the party of fiscal responsibility just like the Democrats are not the party of the working man. Both claim to be whatever they think will benefit them at the moment.

Democrat "tax increases" are nothing more than smoke & mirrors, they'll never be able to increase taxes to the point that their spending is covered, so they're just going through the same borrow & spend motions as the Republicans with different rhetoric; it's an exercise in rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Don't be fooled, "The Rich" will always pay exactly as much or as little as they want since they control all the corrupt little politicians (of BOTH parties) that write and pass the tax code.
