$3.5T Not As Big As You Might Think

[Lesh]

These giant packages have to stop. We need an amendment that provides that Congress is only allowed to address budget issues in stand alone bills.

And with Republican obstruction...nothing would pass...oh wait...that's pretty much where we are now

For the close to $4 trillion dollars that the Federal government takes I can fund lots and lots of programs and don't have to borrow a penny.

Sounds like a plan. They shouldn't spend a penny more than that revenue number.

 

[DBA]

So, Trump can pass a $2.3 trillion tax cut for the rich and republicans have no issue with that but Biden signing a bill for $1.2 trillion more for infrastructure and Americans and republicans blow a gasket.

Except that he didn’t do that. The tax cut wasn’t just for the rich despite what the commie networks told you. Do some actual research and don’t be such a lemming.

Good. Why on earth would we pass this massive entitlement program that is being pushed by the far-left Democrats…the Squad types? There aren’t many sane Democrats left.

Personally I would prefer that the Federal government spend much less and that States decide what programs they want to fund, giving the residents of each State greater control over spending.

Here's Why Democrats' $3.5 Trillion Legislation Isn't (Quite) As Big As It Sounds

It's a lot of money, but still less than the Great Society — and still not what they spend in Europe.

In fact it includes Medicare and other items that save $1T.

Including savings on drug costs. Something long overdue

I've got some great oceanfront property in Iowa if you are interested.

It actually started with Bob Grant. Each iteration gets more inflammatory and more openly racist

 

[TNHarley]

Well, we all know what he's been talking about, it adds nothing to the national debt.... Just because you rely on a condensed tweet and right wing spin and commentary for your news and understanding, is not my problem. It's yours.

Its literally what his twitter said. In fact, it says it costs nothing then says SPECIFICALLY, "AND it adds zero dollars to the National debt.
As I said, stop being such a dishonest twat.

 

[Lesh]

Sure...Republicans shell out a few bucks to the rubes while they give the bulk of the tax cuts to their buddies.

What do they care right. Debt only matters when Dems are in power

Play with the phrasing all you want but "zero cost" refers to the effect on the DEBT

As i just fucking said, the tweet in question SPECIFICALLY says AND adds zero dollars to the National debt. Before that, it SPECIFICALLY says it COSTS zero dollars.
You dipshits need to get your head out the DNCs ass. For the love of god, breathe.
He is a senile, lying CLOWN. Get some fucking integrity or something.

The bulk went to the “wealthy” because the wealthy pay the bulk of the taxes. My family is wealthy based on income according to Democrats. We saw very little a tax cut under Trump. We pay more every year in income taxes than most make. That doesn’t even include what we pay in property taxes which is also more than most because of the value of the assets. Us paying even more to fund the left’s giveaways to deadbeats who want to stay home instead of working is nothing but thievery.

It actually costs $0.

McConnell's destroying the good faith and credit of the nation appears to be based upon this lie.

McConnell claims that because Democrats are the governing party, they bear sole responsibility for raising the debt limit, falsely suggesting this too is a norm in American political history.​

​

​

Once more the GOP leader is inventing a history at odds with the facts.​

​

Of course, debt ceiling increases have been controversial in the past, with both parties playing games that led to several near crises.​

But until McConnell took over as leader, when push came to shove, responsible adults in both parties came forward to do what even McConnell now acknowledges must be done, for the good of all.​

Since 1917, when the debt ceiling first crept into law as a byproduct of World War I spending increases, it’s been raised or suspended nearly 100 times. Eighteen of those were under President Reagan, nine under George H. W. Bush, seven under Dubya, and four under Trump, along with numerous hikes under Democratic presidents.​

​

Some 97 percent of U.S. debt was incurred before President Biden became president, and

89 percent of the increase in the debt since the ceiling was last raised, came under Trump.​

​

"I'm the​

KING OF DEBT!"​

Default, triggered by failure to raise the debt ceiling, would be disastrous for the country, but McConnell’s priority is party not country. He operates from a simple, but importantly valid, insight: if things go badly in the country, it hurts the party that controls the White House.​

​

Whether it’s an economy gone sour, a war gone wrong, or even shark attacks gone wild, scores of studies show bad outcomes in the real-world lead to fewer seats for the White House party and more for the opposition.​

​

In other words, McConnell’s strategy is politically smart, albeit morally repugnant.​

 

[Lesh]

The bulk went to the “wealthy”

Always does

So he repeated himself by using different words that mean different things. You are saying our president doesnt understand English. THAT is your argument.
Cost no longer means cost folks. In a lame attempt to justify our senile presidents incoherent babbling, cost doesnt mean "cost" anymore.
Another word raped by the dishonest leftists.
