Now that the table has turned, how will GOPer's react?

[berg80]

I always found one of the more maddening, unfounded criticisms of Obama by GOPer's (now POTer's) to be about the debt accumulated during his presidency. It was typically done in such a way as to use the raw numbers to imply Obama was a profligate and reckless spender of tax payer money. What those accusations lacked was context. The context being Obama inherited an economy in free fall. Losing 600K jobs a month, credit markets nearly frozen, a housing market that had crashed, and the impact of the Great Bush Recession being felt around the world. Essentially, he was blamed for a calamity not of his making. Then he was blamed for a stubbornly sluggish recovery to due systemically slow growth (that still persists), the depth of the recession, the enduring effect on the rest of the world, and the Repub's sabotage.

Fast forward to Capt. Clorox's presidency. Before doing so let's stipulate we won't focus on the Grifter-in-Chief's budget busting tax cut that had the country headed for a $1T+ deficit before COVID landed on our shores.

Let's also stipulate we won't discuss President Sunshine's culpability for the severity of COVID's spread in the US and the damage done to the economy as a result.

Instead, let's just focus on this. "The federal budget deficit is projected to be $3.7 trillion."

CBO’s Current Projections of Output, Employment, and Interest Rates and a Preliminary Look at Federal Deficits for 2020 and 2021

CBO discusses its preliminary projections of key economic variables and its preliminary assessments of federal budget deficits and debt through 2021. The amounts include the effects of legislation enacted in response to the pandemic.

www.cbo.gov

So......I'm just wondering out loud how Trumpleheads would react if Dems used the $3.7T number, without context as GOPer's did, to make accusations like, "the King of Debt is responsible for smashing the record for the largest budget deficit in a single year by over $2T?"

Doesn't seem fair to you does it? Remember that the next time you make accusations about Obama's deficits.

And all his uge tax breaks got us in 2019 was 2.3% growth. Long before corona.

 

[Oddball]

None of you team player assholes give a hoot in hell about spending or the debt....You just make yourselves look like even bigger boobs than you already are (if that's possible) with the finger pointing.

 

[Mac1958]

Well, we already know.

Ironically, both Presidents faced major financial crises, so both had to open up the spigots. Not much choice there.

The obvious difference is that the Trumpsters are the people who pretend to take Reagan's "government is the problem" as gospel.

Not at all. That’s the point. Right now democrats aren’t kicking and screaming about the debt or trump spending but when we said Obama was doing a good job and we pointed to low unemployment and the stock market you republicans gave these arguments as to why Obama wasn’t doing a good job.

1. The debt.

2. His yearly growth number. In 2019 trump had only 2.3% growth yet you rave about his economy

3. The monthly job numbers. Trumps numbers are about the same.

And obama didn’t have to give that huge tax break away. Trumps signature accomplishment didn’t work and increased the debt. He said it would pay for itself. You knew that was a lie

We will care when republicans manufacture the next Great Recession and use the debt to make uge cuts to social security and Medicare

 

[kyzr]

When it comes time to pay the piper with a VAT (Value Added Tax) in addition to raising taxes, I can hear the Progs screaming already.

None of that addresses the fact that you don't give one single flying fuck until the guy from the other team spends like mad and further balloons the debt.

Deficit spending is OK when a Republican is president; bad when a Democrat is in the WH.

Everyone knows that.

Blaming trump for job losses is not going to work

liberals welcomed the paid vacation and do not want to return to work

Thing is Donnie spends like O did. You love O and hate Don, yet they are similar.

You shouldn't accuse others of hypocrisy, when you are guilty of it.

We don’t care! We’re calling you guys out. When Obama was potus you were fiscally conservatives. And when biden wins you’ll start doing it again.

are democrats in Congress crying about the debt?

This is proof the media isn’t liberal because I don’t hear shit about the debt on tv since trump won.

Again here is a republican who wants to blame voters not trump.

 

[Maxdeath]

And we have Pelosi saying she wants to spend more. Biden saying spend another 2 Trillion. Then we have the functionally insane left talking about Trump's spending. Damn you just can't makeup the crazy crap they come up with.
