You are such a goofy liar...
Here's a fun fact for you. Obama was the first potus in U.S. history to NEVER realize an annual GDP of at least 3%, in spite of adding $9 TRILLION in debt. The economy was stagnant and, incidentally, that's why Hillary lost all those swing states. Trump promised to put Americans first and to help them by reinvigorating the economy. Cutting and reforming taxes is a great start!
(OH MY GOSH, I am so sorry this is so long! just go to the last 3 or 5 paragraphs and skip the first few if it is overwhelming to read!!!)
Yes, Obama's era, where he took over after the biggest wall Street crash, and Housing Bubble/ Bust, and Mortgage crisis in our History as a Nation next to the Great Depression, (and unlike the Great Depression, we didn't have a War to pull us out of it or the massive massive massive spending programs that FDR created...)to get gdp over 3%...
we are still, right now, suffering the effects of it with stagnation or close to it... in wages, and the continued growth of disparity between the wealthy and the middle class...while those at the top, and major corporations, have regained all of their losses and managed to grab more of the share so the disparities between these classes is even greater.....
and that would be fine and Dandy if the middle class was also having huge increases in earnings....but they are not....they got hit really hard with the 2008 recession and crashes that annihilated their 401k's, home values, and job opportunities to advance and make more money....
He began with a running deficit of nearly $1.4 trillion dollars, President Bush began with a $300 billion dollar running surplus....Obama got it down to around a $400 billion deficit, without any of his job programs even making it to the floor for a vote.... there was the original stimulus, which technically brought us out of the recession within a year, then nothing from the do nothing congress after that....
So yes, he did add a great deal to the national debt....not certain if he reached doubling it, might have been a hair shy or over? His fiscal year end of his last budget was this past Sept 30th, 2017...the official end of his 8 years and have not looked yet to see how it came out...
but think about this, President bush doubled his fiscal 8 years the National Debt, and he began with a running surplus in the budget, and he had the biggest housing and mortgage boom in our History, along with his 2 tax cuts, YET he still double our national debt from our History, in the 8 years....NOW THAT'S a LOT of spending by Republicans in the so called "good Years" ...he was still overspending and primarily congress, was STILL over spending like there was going to be no tomorrow.
Obama took over a period where the government needs to be spending, during a recession....
I know what Trump promised you, though I have great doubts that he has even a clue, on how to do it...he's kind of ditzy, unable to focus on any given thing for any length of time....
but I agree with a lot of what he was telling you, just not what is appearing to be, his way haphazard and free of any thought, is not the way of getting there...
This rush to get something "passed", any legislation passed... is hindering a successful plan, to reduce the tax burden of the middle class or the wealthy and which will be best for the economy to grow it is debate they should be having on the senate and congressional floors, and the committees over this should be running studies of what is the best return on investment.... what will bring in even more taxes than now, by the reforms....
we have no money to do this, we already do not collect enough now to pay for what they are spending and primarily, not enough to even pay the interest bill/ payment to the foreign banks that loaned us the money for our national debt, AND we have to pay back what they borrowed from the Social Security surplus taxes and put in their budgets.
So to me, we should analyze the cost of these tax cuts and any benefits, up and down and inside out on what the best return on investment would be....before we make them.....and make certain THEY ARE FOCUSED on the middle class improving their place in this economy...whether it is money in their pockets that improves the demand and creates jobs, or any jobs program, or bring jobs, good jobs, back from overseas etc... and NOTHING else.....
we are so tight on revenues, we need to be really smart.
how does the tax cut, make America great again? Let's see the numbers in hearings, and let's tighten up this tax bill to only give tax breaks where we know they will produce the most for us and reduce our deficits the most...
making a mistake and adding even MORE to the deficit and debt is not the way to do it...
