Lol. So there were 68 democrats in that vote?So why did the Senate vote 68 to 23 to block Trump's withdrawal plan from Afghanistan in 2019??I'm glad that now we have a president taking anti-war stances, instead of Donald Trump who refused to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.
How mnay died since then just so the Dems could poke Trump in the eye?

The Senate voted on Thursday to back Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's challenge to President Donald Trump's plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria.
The chamber, in a 68-23 vote, advanced a nonbinding amendment proposed by McConnell, R-Ky. The amendment, which would be attached to a bill on broader U.S. policy in the Middle East, warns that a precipitous withdrawal of U.S. forces from the two countries "could allow terrorists to regroup, destabilize critical regions, and create vacuums that could be filled by Iran or Russia, to the detriment of the United States interests and those of our allies."

Republicans don't need a democrat to poke them in the eye, they do it themselves.
Trump as much as a pain he was, I agreed with his attempts to get us out of the Middle East. Republicans and Democrats are warmongers and beholding to corporate America. We need to end the two corrupt parties.
Interesting.
Trump wanted to be paid to leave Iraq.
January 10 2020
President Trump told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" in an exclusive interview Friday that he believes Iraq should pay back the United States for its investments in the country over the past several years or the American military will "stay there."
"I said, 'If we leave, you got to pay us,'" Trump told host Laura Ingraham. "'If we leave ... you have to pay us for the money we put in.'"

Trump was sending mixed messages and it was Republicans that got us there in the first place, with lies, of course.
The same lies the Clinton, Kerry, Gore and other Dems told.
I don’t give a damn what Trump said, we didn’t go to war to win and because of that, we needed to leave. Bush, Obama, and Trump kept us there and let’s hope Biden gets us out of there. I don’t have much faith as he already is delaying. We need all our troops all over the world home and we need to bring them home now. It’s time for other nations to step up and become the world police and Americans build America back up instead of the rest of the world.
Not trueAmerica is a failing empire and an empire is a dangerous thing to give up.
And, Trump had scheduled to bring those troops home May 1, 2021. So factually speaking, the OP is full of dodoI'm glad that now we have a president taking anti-war stances, instead of Donald Trump who refused to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.
We only have a few thousand there in an all volunteer military. Its really not that bad, considering deaths are now extremely minimal. Once we pull out, most likely retribution will begin against the civilian population. Our guys in there now are actually helping the Kabul government achieve stability.
It will also make it more likely that some future generation will once again have to go in with greater force.
So under your plan can we also reduce military spending?So why did the Senate vote 68 to 23 to block Trump's withdrawal plan from Afghanistan in 2019??I'm glad that now we have a president taking anti-war stances, instead of Donald Trump who refused to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.

Progs are always on the stage emoting like they are Method Actors. It makes them sound so important even on things mundane. It makes them in the front of the stage seem so powerful and commanding. Then when you step back a few feet there is a collapse of the stage but many in the background and in the audience ply interference and bring derision to others in the audience who did nothing wrong. Prog Socialists....the shallow party of death.Biden plans to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, missing May deadline
Biden's removal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.www.cnbc.com
It is obvious that Biden wasn’t up to the challenge of withdrawing troops by May 1st., so he had to extend the date by over four months. Seems Biden got in over his head and is trying to use a symbolic date and risk more American lives because of his failure.
I would support your plan then.So under your plan can we also reduce military spending?So why did the Senate vote 68 to 23 to block Trump's withdrawal plan from Afghanistan in 2019??I'm glad that now we have a president taking anti-war stances, instead of Donald Trump who refused to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.

Damn well better, by about 25% along with every other government department. We are 20 plus trillion in debt and this year alone we have spent 1.9 trillion and another 2 trillion when the damn bill passes. It will take Biden less than a year to spend more money than Trump did in four.

Essentially, all the time, after they, fix the right wing blunders.
"(President Ronald) Reagan took the deficit from 70 billion to 175 billion." This is more or less accurate. The federal deficit went from about $78.9 billion at the beginning of Reagan’s presidency to $152.6 billion at the end of it. At points between 1983 and 1986, the deficit was actually more than $175 billion.
"(George H.W.) Bush 41 took it to 300 billion." Close, but not exactly. The number was around $255 billion at the end of Bush’s term. The deficit spiked at around $290.3 billion the year before he left office.
"(Bill) Clinton got it to zero." This is true. During his presidency, Clinton managed to zero out the deficit and end his term with a $128.2 billion surplus.
"(George W.) Bush 43 took it from 0 to 1.2 trillion." This is in the ballpark. Ignoring the fact that he actually started his presidency with a surplus, Bush left office in 2009 with a federal deficit of roughly $1.41 trillion.
"(Barack) Obama halved it to 600 billion." This is essentially accurate. Obama left the presidency with a deficit of approximately $584.6 billion, which is more than halving $1.41 trillion. The deficit was even lower in 2015 at around $441.9 billion.

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump's time in office. That's nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.
The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration, according to a calculation by a leading Washington budget maven, Eugene Steuerle, co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. And unlike George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln, who oversaw the larger relative increases in deficits, Trump did not launch two foreign conflicts or have to pay for a civil war.
