[Trump: 'I'm the king of debt']
​

Fiscal conservative John Boehner recently observed of Congressional Republicans,​

​

"None of these guys said anything when the Trump administration added $1 trillion to the federal budget deficit ​

by the end of 2019 - before a single dime was spent on COVID-19 relief!"​

"They were rubber stamps for it in Congress. Many of them who raised huge stinks about [the Troubled Asset Relief Program] were only too happy to let Trump bail out farmers hurt by his trade war with China," he added, referring to the $700 billion measure that Congress passed in October of 2008 to prop up the nation's financial system.​

​

The national debt stood at $19.9 trillion when Trump took office in 2017 and hit $28 trillion last month.​

​

In the wake of the sordid, national spectacle of Trump goons attacking Congress, Republicans may have hoped to return to normalcy.

Alas, their core political philosophy had already been been savaged.

Mitch McConnell who aided and abetted the Former Guy's profligate ways recently mewled,

"It's one thing to run up the national debt when you have a hundred-year pandemic ​

but just to keep routinely adding trillions of dollars to the national debt ​

I think is ill-advised for the future of the country."​

Turtle's token, limp-wristed arm wrestling with the Administration reflects consciousness of the hypocrisy of opposing the popular President's popular agenda after having bent over meekly with nary a squeal at the Former Guy's prodigal apostasy.

​

Last month circulated a Navigator Research poll showing that 59 percent of Americans support Biden's infrastructure agenda and that 83 percent support his desire to expand access to childcare and investments in clean energy infrastructure, which are not highlighted in the alternative GOP proposal.​

​

A Politico/Morning Consult poll from this month showed strong support among Republicans, Democrats and independents for Biden's infrastructure spending priorities, and 65 percent of voters were on board with raising the corporate tax rate to help pay for them. The survey even found that 42 percent of Republicans favored raising taxes on corporations.​

​

The Republican party is just the Democratic Party light. Trump spent like a Democrat.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The Republican Party hasn't given a rat's ass about the fiscal balance since Ike.

And since only 1% of USMB Republican posters weren't alive when Ike was President, nobody has any other reference!

Trump basically was a democrat.

Magnanimous, saintly, courteous, selfless, hygienic, and as honest as the day is long.

 

[schmidlap]

Neither party has fiscal restraint so as usual you are barking up the wrong tree.

I have never accused either Party of fiscal restraint.

I merely note the GOP's hypocrisy in abjuring their habitual penurious bleating when Republicans kowtowed the self-proclaimed King of Debt.

Awareness of their blatant hypocrisy tempers their whining about the President's agenda.

Having rubber-stamped the Former Guy's profligate ways, mewling about the President's advocating for popular expenditures now is a rum do, indeed.

Consider the Former Guy's fake vow to rebuild America's crumbling infrastructure, another of his promises unfulfilled, as the urgency only intensifies:

​

Trump called for $2 trillion in spending on U.S. roads, bridges and tunnels, seizing on the coronavirus outbreak and record low interest rates to advance one of his longest-standing priorities.

​

“I’m going to have a big statement tomorrow night on infrastructure. ​

We spend $6 trillion in the Middle East and we have potholes​

all over our highways and our roads ... ​

so we’re going to take care of that. Infrastructure — ​

we’re going to start spending on infrastructure big!​

Not like we have a choice. It’s not like, oh gee, let’s hold it off.”​

[Trump pledges to spend 'big' on infrastructure]​

​

Infrastructure spending could help blunt the surge in unemployment and businesses failures expected to result from the coronavirus pandemic and economic shutdown.​

​

​

The pressing national need acknowledged by the previous regime remains unaddressed. Promises, promises. Americans demand action, not lies and hyper-partisan whinging.

A balanced budget Amendment won't happen until after term limits and that will never happen. The sheep keep voting for the same people decade after decade and those people aren't going to make laws that strip them of the power they have.

Deficits Don’t Matter to EITHER party.
The GOP cuts taxes and spends while the Democratic Party raises them and spends.

The GOP talks about fiscal responsibility up until they get the power of the purses themselves...

 

[Darkwind]

It is amusing that the left thinks they have any credibility on economic matters.

Trump lost what credibility he had when he said "I'll never sign another budget like that last one" -- meaning the first budget of his Administration -- and then went on to sign 3 more just like it.

It is amusing that the right thinks they have any credibility on economics matters.

Even more amusing that the left thinks that they do.

Trump unloaded the rights economic playbook and couldn’t hit 3% gdp growth with a trillion dollar deficit.

He did no such thing and you know it. The Congress would not permit him to do so and that you know as well.

Those elected do. Many Conservatives demand fiscal responsibility from the GOP, but then, they get doxxed, their lives ruined and the spinless GOP elected representatives bow down to the continuing spending demanded by the Democrats.

 

[schmidlap]

Despite your childish op the GOP hasn't been fiscally responsible in MANY YEARS despite a few people in DC.

Despite your need to belabor the obvious, the Former Guy bloated the national debt from $19.9 trillion to $28 trillion, and failed to allocate any of it to what he insisted was desperately-needed infrastructure renewal - before he lost his Party, in his single term, the House, Executive, and Senate.

“With interest rates for the United States being at ZERO,
this is the time to do our decades long awaited Infrastructure Bill...
It should be VERY BIG & BOLD, Two Trillion Dollars, and be focused solely on
jobs and rebuilding the once great infrastructure of our Country!"
