Trump signs executive order creating a sovereign wealth fund for U.S.

[Dragonlady]

/----/ A great plan. Unfortunately, the next tax and spend like drunken sailors democRAT Congress would blow through that fund in a month.

It’s not the Democrats spend like drunken sailors. That old lie has been debunked for for the past 40 years by the three economic crash is led by Republican cut and spend Presidents.

/——/ The old lie that presidents control spending has been debunked by Article 1 of the Constitution:

Article I​

Among the powers specifically given to Congress in Article I Section 8, are the following:

1. To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

2. To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

If the president had the power to spend money, it would be covered in Article 2. Feel free to do your own research.

 

[Dragonlady]

Great. So do I.

I imagine we can cut all. I believe we can cut at least 10% (if not even more) and not affect a single service.

You have a vivid imagination. The cuts have already harmed farmers, children’s programs, daycare centers, utility subsidies for poor people. The list is endless.

Nice try at deflection. The president most definitely gives Congress a list of his funding priorities, and his expectations for the legislation and the budget. And he has veto power if they don’t go along with him.

No Democratic president has ever crash. The economy, but four Republicans have done it in the past 100 years.

Trumps recent moves will only accelerate the economic crash that will follow.

The cuts weren't done as I said I would so dismissed.

/——/ When is the last time a presidential veto from a Republican president resulted in an amended budget reducing spending? I’ll wait while you gather your notes.

Biden and Obama, in 12 years, added about half of all US public debt.

 

[Rigby5]

The US has not had a "surplus" since Bill Clinton was president, so this is silly.

Bill Clinton was the last to actually have a surplus.
Bush started the huge and growing national debt with $5 trillion for needless and evil wars against innocents.
Obama added $7 trillion, but the blame goes to Bush for causing the real estate collapse.
Trump added $7 trillion but has the excuse of covid.
Biden added another $7 trillion without any real excuse.

You can't really blame Obama since it was Bush who caused the real estate recession Obama had to bail out.

Actually it was Clinton's disaster Bush tried to warn about

Obama added almost $10 trillion, Biden another $8.5 trillion.

I can certainly blame Obama with his weakest recovery in history.

I do not buy that at all.
Clinton greatly reduced the national debt, and caused no harm to the economy at all.

It was Bush who added $5.6 trillion to the national debt, for absolutely no reason at all.
Attacking Iraq and Afghanistan did not make the US safer, but much less safe.

/—-/ No reason at all? Are you playing stupid again to get attention? Bush had to rebuild the military after Clintoon slashed it.
Trump has to do the same after Dementia Joe slashed it again.

Gingrich was awesome!
