Let’s pretend republicans gained full control of the government in 2024

[Billy000]

Don't need to read propaganda to know it's full of shit.....It's revealed by the dishonest language it uses.

Lol so you don’t actually know what they say got it. You’re only pretending to know what they say.

Both party's make mistakes, big & small. The extremes of both party's cause most of the problems. Being a little nuts is normal' we have stepped way over the normal line.

What SPECIFIC policies would address inflation or ANY economic problem?

We already know trickle down economics is a failure. What else do republicans even offer?

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

Trickle-Down Economics: Four Reasons Why It Just Doesn't Work

We've all heard the claims that cutting tax rates for the richest Americans will improve the standard of living for the working class. Supposedly, top-bracket tax breaks will result in more jobs being created, higher wages for the average worker, and an overall upturn in our economy. It's at the...

Wrong. Only Democrat "mistakes" cause problems.

both of those programs increase consumer spending.

By sucking a much greater amount of wealth from the pockets of other consumers.

Tax revenues can only come from the pockets of consumers ... any company taxes are passed along by those companies to their customers.

Why pray tell is having a secure Southern border "bat shit crazy"?

Tax revenues can only come from the pockets of consumers ... any company taxes are passed along by those companies to their customers.

Programs like SNAP cost pennies on the dollar to the typical tax payer. You’re talking about a program that costs like 70 billion per year. That’s a lot, but in comparison to other programs, it’s relatively cheap. You cons act like the $100 or so they get per month is $100 taken from another single person. Tax revenue doesn’t work like that. It never has.

 

[martybegan]

Even if that were true, we still know they push policies that address the poor and middle class.

Also, this is so beyond the point anyway. Regardless of who pushes it, the point is that it fails. How about addressing the topic at hand instead of this “but but but Democrats! Derp!” crap.

Reduce regulations, support the oil/gas industries instead of hampering them.

 

[Oldestyle]

The truth is, Billy...if you LOVE entitlements as much as you do...you should be 100% in favor of a secure border! You can't HAVE entitlements to that extent and have an open border because too many people will enter the country to be able to AFFORD those entitlements! So choose one or the other, Billy! You can't have both.

Ah...where does it come from if it isn't taken from another person, Billy?

A southern wall won’t do jack shit. People will climb or tunnel over it. The cost to maintain the wall for the rest of eternity would be astronomical. The wall couldn’t even get completed. Much of the border runs along private land. The government would need to battle private citizens in court which would drag on forever. Not only that, but parts of the border make it physically impossible to build a wall. The terrain prohibites it.

Dude you really suck at reading comprehension. My point is that every dollar spent on food stamps isn’t a dollar coming from a single person. It works like any tax funded program. Millions of people fund it.

That's amusing Billy! All those reasons why a border wall WON'T work...yet you on the left go apoplectic every time someone even tries to build it? Admit it...you know what having a secure border would mean to the Democratic Party...a loss of political power! You control the House for only one reason...our system uses the Census to determine how many House seats each State receives and the Census counts illegals the same as legal citizens! You don't want the wall built because you don't want to lose the House.

So because "millions" of people fund it...that means it isn't being paid for with money that comes out of millions of people's pockets? Every single dollar spent on food stamps was a dollar that came out of a single person's pocket!

That's an idiotic point. No one was under the impression that it did.

yes when it comes to a raise in there pay.

Where pay?

It’s amazing how much emotional investment you people put into this stupid idea lol. Why, specifically, would dems lose the House existed? I have no idea. You don’t either.

It’s not an idiotic point because you people delude yourselves into thinking it financially drains other people.
