Trump To Schumer: We Will Permanently Fire DC Bureaucrats If You Shut The Government Down

Some in the past have been forced by Republican in the past, starting with Reagan who oversaw 8 shutdowns, during his time in office. Were you thinking only Dems forced shutdowns?

I have heard, the administration preemptively cancelled discussions, with the Democrats. Who do you think will get the blame, this time?
The Republicans deserve the blame. Republican tax cuts for the rich have created the debt problem.

They will get the appropriate share. Historically, Democrats are far from blameless, as they got called tax and spend liberals for a reason, spending gobs on crap and programs and social give aways, adding zilch to GDP.

The questions are irrelevant. When the rich were heavily taxed the national debt was not a problem.

We also provided more public services and affordable education and healthcare

The Second World War ended in 1945. During this time the national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) was 114%.

That declined nearly every year. President Carter's last full year in office was 1980. By then the national debt as a percentage of GDP had declined to 32%. During this time the top tax rate never got below 70% and was often much higher.

President Reagan reduced the top tax rate to 28%. His last full year in office was 1988. By then the national debt as a percentage of GDP had risen to 50%.

Since then, the top tax rate never again reached 70%. Under President Clinton it was raised slightly, from 31% in 1992 to 39.6% in 1993. The national debt as a percentage of GDP declined during the Clinton administration from 63% in 1993 to 55% in 2000.

Trump cut taxes for the rich. During his last full year in office, 2020, the national debt as a percentage of GDP had risen to 129%.
