There Have Been Six Republican Presidents During My Adult Lifetime(Counting Trump)

[rdean]

The one thing all of them had in common: They slashed tax rates for the rich and borrowed from foreign banks to cover their spending. Yep....Trump has already announced his intentions.

You have Alzheimer's disease. I'm sure of it now. You've posted that at least 1,000 times. We are 20 trillion in debt, half of it obama's so your spewage makes no sense.

And a good portion of that began with the deficit creating Bush Tax cuts.

Look at those Bush Tax cuts. They just keep giving and giving and.............

Tax cuts for the rich is the only economic plan that Repugs ever have, and it never works. The ironic part is that millions of poor working class Repugs who voted for Trump will suffer, just like they did during Bush's presidency. Working class Repugs are simply the biggest suckers on the planet.

I love me some Bush when it came to taxes!!!
I got a $15,000 retro tax return on my capital gains when he took office!!
Spent it all on booze and hookers!! .....actually I didnt really spend it all on booze and hookers,I put a down payment on a new boat.

In the words of WC Fields

"I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I just wasted."

All of which were passed by a Democrat controlled Congress, dufus.

Actually, no. Republicans used reconciliation three times under Bush. Do you know for what? And what did they do to the deficit. That's your homework. Finding things out that are true makes you look smart. The other? Not so much.

And how does taxing businesses more create jobs? Hmmm?

Ask Bill Clinton. The first thing he did in early 1993 while he still had a Dem congress was raise taxes......on everybody.

Guess What? When he left office he had a balanced budget with $400 billion of surplus. 'Course the first thing that goddam stupid W. Bush did was two tax cuts, 2001 and 2003 then took the entire economy down a rat hole. All the Republicans do any more is cut taxes for the rich and go in debt for it.

That may be true but I think the "contract with America" had more to do with it than did Clinton.

You don't think Clinton's tax rate increases for the rich had anything to do with it? Just keep on watching Fox News. You don't have a clue and they don't either.

You people are foolish. You think tax cuts are good even if the money has to be borrowed from foreign banks to cover our spending. It's simple math....need more revenue? Raise tax rates. You dumbasses have it backwards.

Or, if you don't have the money, don't spend it.

Aww, look at how happy your sunshine is. That is cute.

But they do keep spending. Look at George W. Bush...assumed a balanced budget with surpluses projected to the out years. First thing he did....cut taxes for his oil buddies twice, 2001 and 2003. Then...he doubled the national debt from $5.7 trillion to nearly $12 trillion. He borrowed what he spent from foreign banks.
