In other words, you don't want to see facts.

Can you post any, Bri?

You can't show where Biden cut spending?

What do you have for the FY 2021 final expenditures number?

 

[Couchpotato]

QED.

You can't bring yourself to acknowledge the fact.

How can we hope to get to the actual data?

Which fact?

 

[2aguy]

Are people really disagreeing with the fact that the deficit dropped or the reason it happened?

If you believe it's because Biden is some fiscal wizard or fiscal conservative who cut government spending to reduce it then you're living in fantasy land. All that happened was the pandemic ended and the unprecedented spending that went with it went away as well so he deficit fell. That didn't happen because of some policy difference between the left and the right. Do you believe that had Biden won the 2016 election that spending we did on COVID would have been significantly less?



They are disagreeing with how the federal budget process works? What does that have to do with policy?


What about it?

Hey......you are talking actual policy........you aren't supposed to do that, you are simply supposed to let the left wing asshats make the empty allegation and then let them call you "racist," if you respond......

You need those to prove your claim?

Yeah with the guy who claims no one will talk policy with him. My bad.

The deficit was 4.25 trillion for 2020 from COVID spending. That's the only reason it was down for Biden. That's what you are so desperately trying to ignore.

Like other big players in Republican politics, the Club appears to have concluded that politicians whose only skill is setting fires, or pouring gasoline on those set by others, can be useful allies. “That’s sort of their strategy — that the prairie fire is going to help us because we’re going to burn down some things we want to burn down, or the smoke’s going to confuse enough that we can get some things done,” said Bob Inglis, a former Republican congressman from South Carolina. “But it’s just such a dangerous strategy. Because you cannot control where the prairie fire is going.”

Sounds to me like he's described both parties pretty well, but, of course, those of you in the tribes can only see with tunnel vision.

You're lying.

I want to get to results, as measured by the data.

You want to offer a preemptive constitutional defense of policy failure.

That kind of puerile "pox on both their houses" crap is one reason why we're dealing with 30+ trillion in debt.

Bri,

You were asked to post 2 numbers.

Do that.

You haven’t made the case for a single policy going on 3 pages now.

Bri,

You post the numbers, and a link to your source.

The minute you acknowledge the connection between the WH, and the federal budget.

It's pointless to discuss the effects of policy you insist can't be effected.

Anytime you are ready to move on to outcomes, call me.

I did 2 pages ago. I even quoted the law that requires it. I never said the executive has no role or wasn’t connected to it.

That wasn't the point..

It is that POTUS has a DETERMINANT role in the establishment of fiscal policy.

Do you acknowledge this?

 

[bripat9643]

No, Toddster..

The way we're gonna do this is YOU are going to post YOUR facts (with sources) saying differently.

Federal Budget data is readily available.

I already posted it, moron.

Bri,

Do that.

Those numbers are irrelevant to the claim the Biden lowered the deficit.
