Republicans are mostly to blame for our debt

[TNHarley]

Pro debt? I am anti central government.
Try again

How much arrogance does it take to tell a person what they think and then get into an argument about it once they say that's not how they think?

I was even taking a crack at him.. It obviously wasnt serious. But he doesnt get it...
Whacha gunna do?

 

[Anomalism]

Sure. The two ends of the spectrum can be comically similar in their behaviors.

Ignorant, arrogant, selfish and fueled by anger.

 

[gipper]

So O’s enormous spending, which only enriched Wall Street was good, but W’s and Trump’s was bad.

Do you fail to see how partisan that is?

I said mostly. People won’t care about debt and spending till taxes increase. Repubs happily increase spending and decrease taxes. It’s not partisan, just a fact.

Repubs happily increase spending and decrease taxes.

as do dems

It’s not partisan, just a fact.

When have dems ever promoted tax cuts and increased spending?

When they voted for them.

 

[Brain357]

Now that we are closing out another failed republican president it seems like a good time to bring up debt since repubs will no doubt put there fiscally responsible hats back on for us to laugh at. It's clear big debt started with Reagan, the guy tripled the debt. We almost had it under control under Clinton, then Bush messed that up completely. Then Obama inherited the Bush mess and spent a lot, but deficits generally came down after the mess was fixed. Now Trump inherited a strong economy and still increased debt every single year. Last year pre pandemic he managed a trillion dollar deficit during a strong economy, this year he will set a new record by a lot.

Over and over and over republicans support the same policy of cut taxes, increase military spending, and drastically increase debt. And that is what has happened every time they have done it. Reagan did it, Bush did it, and now Trump did it. And repubs stupidly believe the square peg is going to fit the round hole this time.... or are they all that stupid? Many certainly are, but others clearly love the freebies. Heck better than a freebie, trumpers got their military spending and a tax cut! Government is great!

So for the last 40 years we have gotten more and more government and thanks to repubs it costs tax payers less and less. That is a formula for increasing government if I have ever seen one. So laugh whenever a repub claims to be for fiscal responsibility, their policy has clearly lead the way for more and more debt.

You rube.

Had you even noticed that the only people in government who ever seem to care about spending are those out of power?

That's why the Dims blew a gasket when Trump wanted a few billion for a wall they hated saying it was too expensive, and why they stopped stimulus money to go out before the election so that Trump would lose. But now that Trump has lost, now the Dims want to pass the same stimulus they originally stopped and now why the GOP has a trouble with spending now.

Now go back under your partisan rock like the dolt you are cuz neither party has really ever given a damn.

And most tax payers won’t care till their taxes increase. Tax cuts fuel spending.

Yep, that's a good start.

What dem politician has run on that? Bernie was clear he would increase taxes. Heck Biden said the rich will get a tax increase.

Then George Soros and his globalist pricks can come in and do what they please.

both parties add to the debt

it's a nonexistent ethical stance to say that one party is better because they accumulated a little less debt than the other.

And as we all know ( well maybe you don't) democrats only care about debt when republicans are in office and vice versa

Only one party adds spending and cuts taxes. That is the worst. People won’t care about spending till taxes increase.

it's not going to matter.

Even democrats who raise taxes still add to the debt

Reagan passed the biggest peace time tax increases in history and he still raised the debt.

No one cares about the debt stop kidding yourself

And as taxes increase people would care about the debt. Tax cuts fuel spending as tax payers have no reason to care.

don't bet on it no one cared that Reagan raised taxes and added to the debt

no one cared that Clinton raised taxes and increased the debt.

so what makes you think they will start the next time taxes are raised and the debt still goes up?

 

[Billiejeens]

I'm confused. Was Trump the one that wrote this last Covid Relief spending bill?

.

What does that matter?

Between the Covid Relief and Omnibus bill the spending is another approximately 2.2 trillion dollars. My question is whether Trump wrote these budgets or was forced to sign given how Congress has ignored his requests to focus spending On Americans?

.

If he didnt like them, there are ways to show that. HE signs them into law.

so naïve

 

[Anomalism]

Whacha gunna do?

I'm going to get drunk and bitch about how stupid and hypocritical everybody is. It's cathartic at least.

No, BOTH parties are guilty, but it was the Democrats who created the Entitlement spending problem, that generates around 70% of the budget and growing over time.

It is repubs who continually ad spending and cut taxes. Nobody will care about spending till taxes increase. The tax cuts make nobody care.

You going to ignore the built in spending increase of entitlement programs that Democrats by themselves created?

Democrats also add spending, who do you think started the massive COVID-19 spending bills in the house?

Your stupid partisanship bullshit needs to stop.

They both spend, only one party spends and cuts taxes. That fuels more spending.

You are now making clear that you will ignore the expanding entitlements programs the Democrats all by themselves created, that currently consumes 70% of the budget and growing. Slated to reach 75% in about 2 years from now

Democrats currently responsible for at least 70% of the budget now but will reach 75% soon, which means it is INCREASING.

Republicans currently responsible for at least 25% of the budget and DECREASING over time.

5% or so is shared responsibility across the non entitlement budget.

You are being an idiot here because of your idiotic partisanship thinking.

It is actually false

 

[Mac1958]

The Democrats are more tax & spend, the Republicans are more borrow & spend.

From an overall financial perspective, the former is significantly more responsible.

[Toddsterpatriot]

This, after Trump made Keynes look like Ron freakin' Paul and took credit for the actions of the Fed.

That's outrageous!!!

Only Obama was allowed to do that.

Exactly. As taxes increase tax payers will ask if they want more government. This forces policy to actually be better.

and Democrats count a lower than promised increase in spending a cut even though more money was allotted than the year before

and their sky is falling mantra about those perceived cuts is Teachers cops and firemen oh my
