yes, the economy is doing quite well and federal revenue is up. the deficit needs to be reduced and congress needs to do its job in that regard, do you think the Pelosi house is going to reduce spending?
But Trump is the one spending money without funding it, In fa=ct, the asshole is cutting revenues.
If you were really against deficits, you'd vote Democrat. It was Clinton that balanced the budget & it was the Republicans that took us from there to massive debt. Obama brought us a long way back & now your orange buddy has deficits over a trillion. In good economic times. And you= are still too stupid to get it.
NO, it was Newt forcing Clinton to balance the budget. At least those two were able to work together. Pelosi refuses to even try to find common ground.
Clinton + Republican Congress = Balanced Budget
Bush + same basic Congress = deficits & debt
What changed???????
What did the Republicans do when Bush took office? Cut Taxes twice at a time of war. Massive unfunded spending.
There went that balanced budget so please, don't you dare EVER claim the Republuicans are for cutting the debt. Thery love it,. And you love it elsr you'd be voting Democrat.
It's time you quit lying, quit being ignorant & get a fucking education.
all politicians like deficit spending because its the only way they can repay their donors, Yes, both parties. BUT the difference is what they spend the money on, the republicans spend it on defense (which creates American jobs for American workers that pay American taxes) the democrats spend it on welfare programs, free stuff, and payments to foreign countries who never pay us back.
Yes, deficit spending is bad, and yes, both parties do it. But the motives of the parties are different when they do it.
If your analogy is correct, the results are not because the wealthy invest overseas and do not improve the US economy, while the poor who get better educations do return that investment inside the US, and do improve the economy.
wealthy money only goes overseas when its a better financial deal due to tax rates, etc. Reducing taxes on corporations keeps American money in America. Its really quite simple.
