The Right always blame both sides when they can't deny THEIR guilt!!!!And will increase another $617 Billion this year due to tax bill signed into law.
As of the latest reporting by the Treasury Department, the US gross national debt rose by $41.5 billion on Thursday, February 22, to a grand total of $20.8 trillion.
Here's the thing: On September 7, 2017, five-and-a-half months ago, just before Congress suspended the debt ceiling, the gross national debt stood at $19.8 trillion.
The US's national debt spiked $1 trillion in less than 6 months
What is irritating is when the Democrats spend, the Republicans are outraged, when the Republicans spend the Democrats are outraged and in reality, to do what is best for this nation both should find ways to cut spending, increase revenues.
Both parties are irresponsible when it comes to our money.
The GOP increases revenue by borrowing while the Dems increase revenue with taxes, borrowing is clearly more irresponsible than taxes.
I don't give either side a pass, both keep raising the debt, both are irresponsible, wasn't it the left that was bragging how low taxes were under Obama? I think it was the lowest in 50 years.
I have remained the same in my position, higher taxes, less spending. I am not like you who seems to change your views depending on who is in power. I don't give politicians a pass because of the letter after their name.
