The Republicans Control the House, and the GOP now own the Deficit

[Toddsterpatriot]

again go look it up and figure it out for yourself. Obviously you weren't following politics back then and are ignorant.

its pretty simple.

Bush proposed massive tax cuts and spending, Gore proposed much much smaller tax cuts and spending, and saving the potential surplus that Bush destroyed.

You don't know what Gore's lockbox would do?

Is that because you're a moron? DURR

 

[Papageorgio]

It did?

What spending did he cut? Any specifics? Or just a feeling you have? Silly twat.

He was the President coming off a pandemic that had shut down the world. He was no more responsible for that then he was the inflation after $4 plus trillion was infused into the economy and debt still increased and continues.

 

[BlindBoo]

You're for or against the House efforts to roll back and limit spending?

By trying to use the paying of our debt as a bargaining tool on already approved laws and debt, they are questioning the already authorized debt. That is unconstitutional. "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

The debt ceiling should be abolished and a balanced budget and term limit Amendments should be added.

No one is questioning the debt the 14th doesnt apply

Debt is easily covered by current revenue. They're questioning future debt.

That is unconstitutional.

LOL!

The debt is valid as a motherfucker. If you want MORE debt, negotiate.

Yeah they are. It should never be a bargaining chip. They should never be allowed to think they can use default as a threat.

Everytime I bring up the GOP's disgraceful record on debt and deficits I get met with lame excuses, but never any honest acceptance or answers.

One of the Republicans favorite excuses is "Pelosi controls Spending it is her fault"

So now that McCarthy controls spending, all of the deficit is definitely his fault. The MAGA republicans have made it clear that whomever controls Congress gets the blame for the spending...

I love using Republican excuses on them !!

What to Know About the History of the Debt Ceiling

But while a default would be unprecedented, this isn't the first time Washington has been down this road.

78 times since 1960, with both parties playing chicken with a 'must pass' bill.

Since there is enough revenue to cover the interest payment, the downside is that the EPA would not get funded.

1993 bill Clinton passed the omnibus balanced budget bill that cut spending and raised taxes on the wealthy, all republicans opposed that budget balancing bill

The president sets the agenda and policy and has final say and veto on everything.

Bill Clinton balanced the budget and bill Clinton is the reason for the balanced budget.

Trump inherited a $587B/yr deficit and blew that up by passing massive multi-year, multi-trillion dollar spending bills.

The president sets the agenda and policy and has final say and veto on everything. Trump's policy caused these massive deficits.

Glad I could clear that up for you

The answer is Newt Gingrich, Dumbass.

1993 didn’t have a balanced budget.

AHAHAHAHA !!!

CLinton passed the 1993 bill that cut spending, raised taxes on the welathy, and lowered the deficit every year until it was balanced a few years later.

You are so retarded you don;t even realize policy has a lag effect. You pass a bill and its effects are felt years later.

Clinton gave us a balanced budget, and Trump blew up the budget with his massive spending bills.
Deal with it, obviously you can't

Your OP claims the House is in charge of deficits, now you say it’s the President.

On top of that, you want to blame McCarthy for the current deficit despite the fact he voted against the current budget, AND give Clinton credit for a surplus that happens 6 years after he signed the bill you referenced.

There is a reason everyone considers you the biggest moron on the board.

The Banker still waiting for you to show us which year spending went down.
