In 2000 the GOP had a chance to balance the Budget, they chose Otherwise

[Theowl32]

Bill Clinton was the reason for the balanced budget and projected surplus.

As soon Clinton was gone, and the GOP gained the Executive branch they instantly enacted their budget busting agenda of massive tax cuts for the ultra wealthy, and massive spending bills for the cronnies.

The GOP had a chance to solidify the future finances of America and they fucked it up big time. They made numerous policy mistakes that decimated the finances of America and left the country in massive recession 7 years later.

Looking back 20 years later you can really see how bad the GOP was in 2000-2008, and how they put America on the path for major fiscal problems due to their terrible economic policies, and wild spending bills that did little benefit to America.

More troubling was that Trump did the exact same thing as Bush and spent even more wildly.

Biden is going to spend a lot like Bush and Trump, but he is doing it in a much more effective way, leading to much better growth. Biden will do what Bush and Trump failed to do, achieve great GDP growth.

I know what you are saying

The repub base voters are much more conservative than the professional politicians who represent the party in washongton

Thats a problem thats not easy to fix

That's why I try, though I probably don't always, to separate conservatism from Republicanism - because there's no inherent connection between the two.

Thanks Banker, I'll take the opportunity to provide real data via this bitchn' chart that demonstrates how full of shit and what simpletons leftists like you really are. Personally I think YOU have the mentality of an 8th grader, and the bronze of a spoiled young child.

Everyone take a look who ran congress and was POTUS when we've seen our darkest economies..............And check out Trump's HISTORIC numbers before the Satan Demonicrats ripped it out from under us with their COVID scare, who of course have the AUDACITY to blame Trump for it, simply because their kind have rotted to the core.

How can you tell a leftist is lying?

And ILMAO this fuck says "CLINTON WAS THE ONLY REASON FOR A BALANCED BUDGET"...........FUCK you're a dumbass Banker, you're not even close, and you lack the critical ability to filter cause and effect, and you're too lazy to read.

Greatly expanded Chinese trade never happened
Dot.com never happened.
Reaganomics never happened.
Republicans controlling both houses never happened.

It was all CLINTON. Fuck, Banker still believes in Santa Claus.

Banker is a teller, BTW.

 

[Meister]

Excellent analysis. Republican are fiscally irresponsible. They want to cut $15B from the mouths of the poor and give $1.5T in tax breaks to rich people to offset it with the lie that the economy will magically pay it back. Then you get giant deficits. Republicans are fiscally irresponsible.

And you think a 3.5 trillion dollar Bill on top of a 1.2 trillion dollar Bill is fiscally responsible?
Do you realize just how stupid you sound to anyone who is sane?
