Debt ceiling fight

[Seymour Flops]

So, what you are saying is that since Trump was "serving all the American people" excess spending and rapidly increasing the deficit did not matter.

I did not say that at all.

Those things only matter when you think the POTUS is not serving all the American people

No, they matter all the time.

Point is that you Democrats are comparing apples to hammers when you ask why the GOP picked a fight with Biden and not Trump.

We had a strong economy under Trump until the Dems came up with the scamdemic to ruin it. Unemployment, especially for people of color, was at an all time low. That meant increased tax revenue from people who are working instead of collecting welfare. Reduction in illegal immigration meant less expendature on them in welfare and services. Cutting regulations meant less needed to spent enforcing them. Strong negotiations with trading partners meant more wealth for the U.S.

Increased revenue, combined with reductions in spending and size of government that could reduce the deficit are possible under such a president with a supportive congress, so a debt ceiling fight was not needed.

No. I'm saying you are a piece of shit! You are scum! The country hates you fuckers! You don't do shit in office and lie your ass off when you are out of office!

Leftists making shit up, it's what you do

Leftists making shit up, it's what you do

No, we balance the budget and take care of the general welfare of the nation.

You're dumping 31 trillion on our children, demand there be no restrictions on your dumping more on them, but it's McCarthy who wants to blow us up.

Reality isn't a thing with you

No, we balance the budget and take care of the general welfare of the nation.

If we balance the budget then you don't need a debt limit increase. Problem solved!

You are not going to cut entitlements!

Sure you did.

No, they matter all the time.

Not really.

We had a strong economy under Trump

Which is the perfect time to cut spending.

That meant increased tax revenue people who are working instead of collecting welfare. Reduction in illegal immigration meant less expendature on them in welfare and services. Cutting regulations meant less needed to spent enforcing them. Strong negotiations with trading partners meant more wealth for the U.S.

So, all the more reason to cut spending since those things were not needed.

But instead it was increased each and every year

Increased revenue, combined with reductions in spending and size of government that could reduce the deficit are possible under such a president with a supportive congress, so a debt ceiling fight was not needed.

But instead the deficit increased every year. Why is that?

And in such a short time you have become a dyed in the wool Repub, defending massive spending.

What the hell happened to you since then?

 

[Couchpotato]

The only time the GOP wants spending cuts is when they are not in power any other time they happily raise the debt ceiling.

You mean just like the Democrats? The last time Joe Biden was in the Senate he voted against raising the debt ceiling.....
