Pentagon requests $200 billion for Iran war… where are all the “fiscal conservatives”?

Democrats have reduced deficits they inherit from republicans in every administration for about 45 years. Biden's number includes a large deficit in year one of Covid and a reduction after. Trump raised the deficit every year before covid and then had a monster one the year of covid.

All other republican presidents loaded the US with debt. Clinton and Obama and Biden all lowered the deficit from what they inherited.

7.8 trillion VS 8 trillion. Obama was nearly double Bush.

The way I see it, if the GOP doesn't spend it now the dumocraps will eventually waste it all. We can either spend money on finally getting rid of Iran and improving our military, or we can save money and then when the dumocraps cheat their way back into power they will spend it all and much more on all the fraud they have going on around the country. My advice to the GOP is get everything you want now without limit and make it impossible for the dumocraps to ever waste another dime.

You do know there is a difference between a deficit and debt, right? If not, ask anybody with a photo ID to explain it to you.

Oh do tell us how the deficit and the debt have nothing to do with each other genius

7.8 trillion VS 8 trillion. Obama was nearly double Bush.

Bill Clinton received a $200B deficit from Bush and lowered the deficit to a SURPLUS
Bush II received a surplus from Bill Clinton and raised the deficit to a $1.4 TRILLION
Obama received a $1.4 trillion deficit from Bush and lowered the deficit to $668 BILLION
Trump received a $668 billion deficit from Obama raised the deficit to a $2.7 TRILLION
Biden received a $2.7 trillion deficit from Trump lowered the deficit to a $1.7 TRILLION
Trump received a $1.7 trillion deficit from Biden raised the deficit to $1.9 TRILLION in year one already

But....but Trump loves Russia. Why did he go into Iran?

I give Clinton credit. A little sleight of hand but far better than every loser after him.

Our debt is $39 trillion and growing.

The Miltary costs $0.8T to do nothing. DOGE found and stopped some waste and fraud in Defense. Need more.

You're FOS.
The incompetent high school dropouts, DOGE are dumber than Trump.

So they got stockpiles old weapons, bombs to unload or expire? Uh, go ahead yse them on the Terrirists! WINNING.

Then it cost money to re-stick with newer better different. That's all this is.

Trump ran a 7.8 trillion dollar deficit. Biden a 8 trillion dollar one. There really is no arguing either is better than the other.

/—-/ Trump has no control over spending. Only congress can and did run a deficit. Learn how the government works. DERP

/—-/ We are currently in a shutdown. Trump has nothing to do with it. And if congress has the votes they can override a veto. Learn how the government works. DERP

If Trump had vetoed it and it was over road, the argument would be different. Trump signed off on every penny.

/—-/ A president has no choice. He has no line item veto. It’s either all or nothing. And you know how the media and democRATs attack the president if he doesn’t go along and sign.

They do. I never have. A president does have a choice.

/-----/ What choice other than veto that shuts down the government? What's going on with TSA and the airports now? When do democRATs ever compromise?

I can't speak for Democrats and really irrelevant.
