Republicans are mostly to blame for our debt

[Anomalism]

I have fun doing it!

Red wine. <3

 

[Mac1958]

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.

Then you haven't been paying attention for the last four years. Why is that?

 

[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.

Well that's just it.

So long as the majority of voters don't' feel the oppression of taxation, then they don't care cuz they are dolts and don't realize that at some point they will all face judgement day and an end to the Republic, which means the end of the Constitution, a Progressive wet dream.

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

And the more tax cuts we get the sooner that will happen. Tax cuts should be the benefit of spending cuts. Repubs have made it a benefit of increased spending.

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

I’m not claiming dems are good. But they can ad spending forever as long as repubs keep cutting taxes.

 

[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

We have had presidents that vetoed like crazy.
Know why? They had integrity.

I laugh

 

[Billiejeens]

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.

It is actually false

Trump just did it again.

When?

 

[Brain357]

There is no debt outrage because republicans keep cutting taxes. They fuel irresponsible spending.

When he did his massive military spending increase and cut taxes. You live under a rock?

Yes
Do you remember when that was?

Taxation should pay for spending. If it goes on the credit card and we get tax cuts that fuels more spending.

the problem is one of the entire 2 party system which is why we need to add a third party to act as a wedge and prevent any single party from dominating the house , senate or both.

Then and only then will we have a shot at getting back on track

Entitlements Threaten The Entire Federal Budget

Feb 9, 2018,

Milton Ezrati

Excerpt:

Much debate on tax reform focuses on implications for the government’s budget deficit. The pro-reform side of the dispute claims that the new law will promote enough additional economic growth to narrow the budget shortfall. The con side claims that tax cuts will so diminish federal revenues that the budget will soon face a painful day of reckoning. Without judging the accuracy of either forecast, such questions are small beer in the budget outlook. The big questions on Washington’s finances lie elsewhere --with entitlements spending, which continues to outgrow everything else Washington does and, worse, remains on autopilot. Next to this matter, everything else, including the contrary claims of the tax-reform debate, operates on the margins of the issue.

Budget realities are stark. Entitlements --- Social Security plus Medicaid and Medicare plus unemployment insurance and, for the time being, Obamacare --- already absorb 70% of all federal spending. These budget items grow automatically and do not even come up in Congress’ annual appropriations process. What is more, their rapid growth threatens to take over the rest of the budget.

Democrats CREATED this problem, since they are the ones who generated "Social Security plus Medicaid and Medicare plus unemployment insurance and, for the time being, Obamacare.." and that is INCREASING over time, the Republican part of the spending process is getting SMALLER over time.

Even if taxes are DOUBLED, it will not come close to cover current spending, your ignorance is spellbinding!

And if taxes were doubled tax payers would demand cuts in spending. As long as taxes get cut nobody cares.

You blather this crap over and over while you keep ignoring the facts that Democrats are responsible for generating over 70% of the entire Federal Budget spending which is growing over time.

Democrats come into power generate tax increases, which Obama did.

And yet you can’t deny any of the facts.

Deny what you don't know the facts.

Reagan had to compromise with tippy

Newt is the one who balanced the budget for a few
