Trumps debt ceiling problem

[Hurricanelover]

Anyone that cares about America leading over China, India and other powers and maintaining our place in the leadership of the world understands it takes money. Always has and always will take a lot of money to be the super power. We either pay the piper or risk being ruled over by the Chinese one day.

Frankly, one thing I like about Trump is the fact that at least in some ways he understands this.

you aint going to build advance futuristic cities, flying cars and clean up cities like new york with the military as he wants to do without spending trillions.

 

[Concerned American]

At the time of the 2020 election, the national debt stood at over $27 trillion, the fastest rate of increase of the national debt of any modern president.

Might I remind you that the HofR was under solid democrat control at this time? Another point that seems to escape you is the fact that the HofR is responsible for creating budgets. They control the purse strings. Please educate yourself.

The die hard Trump supporters, who keep complaining about the debt ceiling, need to decide to either support Trump and the debt ceiling. Or simply not support him.
If not raising the debt ceiling now is important to you, why in the world would you want someone like Trump in office with a debt ceiling increase record.

You can't have it both ways on everything. Eventually you're going to have to realize that Trump sucks on monetary policies. And realize just how much monetary policy affects everyone's lives.
You can't just keep supporting those who simply don't care how much they borrow, spend then increase the ceiling so they can borrow more.


Debt Ceiling Under Trump
The debt ceiling increased two times under President Donald Trump, but the Trump administration also tinkered with the budget and the debt ceiling in other ways throughout its four years. When Trump was sworn into office in January 2017, the national debt stood at $19.9 trillion. By November 2020, the debt had increased to over $27 trillion.

Under Trump the debt ceiling increased:

• by $1.7 trillion to $19.8 trillion (de facto) in March 2017,
• by $2.2 trillion to $22 trillion in March 2019.

Trump suspended the debt ceiling in August 2019, through July 2021. At the time of the 2020 election, the national debt stood at over $27 trillion, the fastest rate of increase of the national debt of any modern president.

There was also a pandemic, government shut jobs down. So they had to pay people to stay at home. I was against that, and I didn't agree with Trump listening to Fauci.

We are passing the baton at some point. To many people screw with too many other people. So, the chances of winning may not be high. However, people can win if near all lose. Vengeance. And that is doable.

So what you are saying is that in the 4 years that President Trump was in office, he left with 27 trillion in debt? That is 3.9 trillion over the 4 years? Joe Biteme has increased the debt to 31 trillion in just over 2 1/2 years, thus his debt is 4 trillion, what do you have to say about that? Of course, President Trump had to deal with Kung Flu closures because of China and Joe Biden working together to make President Trump look bad. But that Joe, the Marxist had to give out even more money that wasnt needed. So you are very wrong about who borrowed more and is till accruing debt even as we speak.

How many trillions have been spent since Trump left office? Is Biden spending a shitload more?

 

[theHawk]

Trump slashed taxes on the wealthy

What about when Obama did that?

 

[Votto]

Stop blaming Trump for all of the shit Congress, Biden, and the rest of Washington keeps doing.

Trump was there for less than 4 years....and the people causing all of this stuff to happen have been there since I was in High School.

Right, Putin done it.

Besides, January 6th.

 

[BluesLegend]

Is Biden spending a shitload more?

Chump change, AOC wants to spend $92 trillion on climate change.

 

[YoursTruly]

Trump had a choice....sign something that our corrupt congress passed that costs money, or veto it and have his veto overruled and then blamed for cutting back on spending that the corrupt media will say was essential.
Trump was gonna be blamed for everything bad that happens using the excuse that he cut back on spending or got rid of regulations.
They used this excuse when they blew up that train in East Palestine.

You're just making excuses. That's what loyalist do.

Trumps veto gets overridden, then it's on the house. Not on Trump.

 

[mudwhistle]

Not really. They impeached Trump twice over false and doctored evidence.

We're still experiencing the cover up going on around Jan 6th because Tucker Carlson was fired for reporting on it yesterday.

They did the same to Clarence Thomas and are still doing it today.

You're loyalty is showing. This has nothing to do with the witch hunts. It's about Trump spending too much. And allowing the democrats to tack on a lot of BS stuff.
If they tack on crap like gender studies funding and Trump just signs the spending bill into law, then who's to blame?
Trump loyalist will blame the House and Senate. Even though it's Trump signature that made it law.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Trump's not in office....when he was he was able to work with Congress to ensure we didn't default...Xiden's there now, and has refused to work with Congress on it...it's XIden's problem

Oddly enough when Trump was in office the GOP was not demanding spending cuts to avoid default.

Weird how that changes based upon the resident of the White House

Oh well, let's just put all the focus on Biden, and forget about Trump right? Just sweep all of Trumps spending under the rug so no one can see it, right?
Out of sight, out of mind.

Elect Trump again and he promises again to do the same thing he did the first time.
Spend like a drunken democrat.
Brag about things that aren't worth bragging about (the china trade agreement that didn't even help the trade deficit)

Oh yeah, he promises to not be so liberal with our money next time.

FYI, democrats spending is one reason I don't vote for democrats. If Trump is going to allow that same level of spending, why TF would I support him? Just because he's a Republican? LMAO..
Republicans have spent more money and raised the debt ceiling more times since the 60's than the democrats have. And the dems still spend more money than I agree with. Trillions more.

Interesting. Every president in waking memory has done exactly that, and has had people supporting them. Apparently, they're not getting the memo. Are you sure you sent it out?

And, of course, those who hate the crap out of TRUMP! are enthusiastically cheering on the current president who is doing exactly the same thing, with no fiscal discipline whatsoever.

Trump's idea of not defaulting is to just print more money. Which is exactly why we're in the mess we're in with the debt ceiling and the national debt.
His idea of working with congress was to either increase the debt ceiling or suspend it. That's some die hard liberal BS.

And those that hate the crap out of the current president were cheering enthusiastically when Trump had no fiscal discipline whatsoever.

Which is why we are 32T in debt

 

[YoursTruly]

Trump was in office three years ago... you do know this right?... things change in three years.... conditions change.... you dig back like a rabbit in a gofer hole to try and disparage Trump but it just makes you look foolish....

He was the previous president. So we're not talking about ancient history here, bub. And he's running to be the next president.
It's very common to judge a politician by his record, in order to make a decision on whether or not to support him in the next election. Trump has proven himself to be the liberal you claim Biden is. (at least on this spending & debt ceiling issue).
But does anyone hold Trump accountable? Only us fiscal conservatives. Definitely not Trumps loyalist.
We actually care that he increased the debt ceiling twice. Then suspended it.
We actually want the borrowing and spending levels reduced, as you Trump supporters are wanting now that a democrat is in office.

Why TF would you even consider Trump for potus after that?

His campaign slogan should be "Trump first." Not America first. Because y'all are putting Trump ahead of America.

 

[Concerned American]

That's rich. Apparently you weren't too concerned with records when you willfully disregarded fifty years of Biden's incompetence, plagiarism and lies.

i don’t find that odd at all..why would they need to demand them from the president when he was in agreemen???
