Now that Dems have the House, by how much will they cut spending?

[Votto]

I'll be surprised as hell if they just pass a budget.

 

[rightwinger]

We just borrowed $1.5 trillion on a tax cut for billionaires

We can start there

 

[danielpalos]

they should cut our alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror to pay for their social programs.

A rare good comment from our resident illegal.

Republitards control both houses in Congress and they still refuse to fund ANOTHER FENCE-

lets shut down the government and blame the democrats.

Suddenly, Dems hate debt. I don’t recall hearing it from 2009-2017 when it skyrocketed from $10 Trillion to $20 Trillion.

So we know Dems now hate debt, that’s what they tell us.

By how much will the cut spending?

I believe them and I think they will cut spending about 5% per year as long as they have the house because they are responsible spenders and are concerned about the debt and the economy.

What was the Debt to GDP ratio from 2009-2017?

ZERO - because Republicans will reliably block revenue raising side of the deal.

Yep and when Trump won, Republicans suddenly loved it again.

Yet not one establishment liberal Republicat or Democron will cut spending, which would reduce the debt 10 fold. Spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, tax, as long as it is someone else's money liberals spend like "liberals".

I sure as heck did not and I am very disappointed he signed that last spending bill....doesn’t make me wish I voted for HIllary.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Republicans nor Democrats will never cut spending, they use it to retain their power.

This is the real answer.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Too be clear (In my best Obama voice) I am not at all happy that Trump signed a shit budget that added to the deficit.

To use the terms of my liberal friends, saying that Republicans aLao increased the debt is a “ whataboutism”

Fuck the Repugs. What are the Dimms going to do to reduce the debt?

I have gotten zero answers.

Dimms, you have a $21 trillion debt. You now own the house. How are you going to reduce it, specifically?

 

[Preacher]

We can start by saving $5 billion on a wall

Hmmm...90 billion a year in welfare,hospital visits,food stamps,section 8 housing, vs 5 billion for a wall to stop these invaders....yeah I will take the 5 billion.

Just like under Bush. Republicans cut taxes for the super rich and then complain Democrats spend too much on poor people, the middle class, children, the infirm and the elderly.

And not enough on needy billionaires and the sad super rich who can never have too much.

We will save at least $20 billion on one unbuilt wall.

Gee...Cato Institute says the cost is between 3 and 16 billion

And the wall probably wouldn't reduce that one bit

Build a useless wall or assist ANERICANS with healthcare, housing or food ?

LOL, nominated for the most ridiculous post of 2018. Do you seriously believe the Dems will cut spending by one fucking penny?

Do you know what sarcasm is? I guess not, as it fly right over that cranium of yours...

For me, fiscal sanity is a hot button issue and I do not like the profligate spending that both political parties are currently engaged in. It's amazing that so few pols in Washington and us ordinary folk are concerned about the growing interest payments we're going to have to make in a few short years that will eclipse defense and many other spending programs and reg'ts. If you wanna make fun of me for not seeing sarcasm, that's fine. But we are wasting gobs of money on stupid shit and inefficient programs that do not fix the intended problem. And it ticks me off.

No time........Orange man must be destroyed.
