Republicans and the National Debt
ilbbaicnl
Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
How can a Republican both continue to support Trump, and also support what Speaker McCarthy is doing with the debt limit? Why didn't Trump support the big cuts that are in the budget that McCarthy is tying to force Biden to accept? When Trump was working with a House and Senate that were both controlled by Republicans.

Donnie in particular was fiscally reckless with no care for the future. For true deficit hawks he was a nightmare.
I wasn't aware the Republicans were trying to engorge the IRS to go after Americans.
Going after independent journalist Matt Taibbi on Christmas Eve when he didn't owe anything, I'm sure there's a good reason.
Thank God one party is serving as the voice of spending restraint during a time of rapid inflation!
The fact he's so weak isn't helping the debt ceiling negotiations. He doesn't want to rely on Democratic votes to make a deal. But he doesn't have a lot of power to corral the cats.
Why isn't the front-runner for the Republican nomination someone who's consistently been a budget hawk? Given that the budget is supposedly why Republicans are willing to take the country to the brink of financial collapse.
I only see the Democrats as the lesser evil. Democrats represent the part of the elite that see us as milk cows. Republicans represent the part of the elite that see us as steak dinner.
Misleading. Trump needed to spend to keep the economy afloat in the early days of the pandemic. Biden continued to do so after it was no longer needed, and mostly shoveling more cash down the green money pit, and after we had already seen inflation.
Senator Joe Biden, 2006
This is a pure and unadulterated stupidity and anyone saying otherwise is just an ignorant fool.
Anyone who conflates needed stimulus with profligate waste on vanity programs is either ignorant or dishonest.
I didn’t say anything about who created the reduction all I did was date it
You’re quite capable of reading what I said it was not in any way misleading
OK, dishonest it is. Thanks for clarifying.
You don’t get to pretend to be fiscally responsible by taking things and not paying your bills.
Both Republicans and Democrats are responsible for the increasing national debt. The neocon dominated Republicans want to increase spending on the military-industrial complex and unnecessary foreign wars. The Democrats want to increase spending on the welfare state. The person who is harmed by this is the productive individual who works hard to support themselves and their families and just wants the government to perform the basic function of catching criminals and defending the borders while otherwise leaving them alone.

For you cable/internet new viewers, this might seem like a scary read. Warning for skibum, there are no pictures.
The US is a weapons dealer. We make weapons and then stir ahit up around the world so that other countries are forced to buy weapons. Both parties are in on the grift. Both parties hate Trump because he is against the wars that get them paid.
The Dems hate Trump openly and the GOP just tries to undermine him. The weapons and war industry is the real puppet master.
That would be a good start.
Every pro-Trumper should have a goldfish. The goldfish can teach them how to have a longer attention span.
Further anyone who thinks some theatrical bickering over some arcane budget nonsense will matter in 3 months vs the 10 million foreigners who just overran our border in the past three weeks has very strange priorities.
