Deficit up 17%

[McDad]

If you look at the chart you'll see it has been going up.

If we are going to have deficits I'd rather have them because people kept more of their money (revenue issues) than taxed and overspent (spending issue). The growth in spending line has been a steady upward, the revenue line had be flat and took a dip.

C'mon man.

 

[McDad]

The tax cuts for individuals - you know the ones Dem's oppose extending actually did pay for themselves. It's the cuts in corporate tax revenue that did not.

C'mon man. Part 2.

He's mocking your party's hypocrisy.

Lol. Huff. Come on. TN Ribs can't spell mocking.

 

[McDad]

One side is more fiscally responsible than the other and the irony is that repubs. buy into the nonsense that it's their party.

Would you like to compare the deficits when each party controls Congress?

 

[volinbham]

Republicans sure do enjoy spending other people's money. Remember when Trump said he would eliminate the National Debt in eight years, just another broken promise in a long list of broken promises.

I agree they like spending but at least they favor TAKING as much of other people's money compared to Dems.

 

[McDad]

Of more relevance is who is in control of Congress, not the Oval. The last time in forever there was no budget deficit was with a Republican Congress, Democratic Presidency.

Thank you!

Maybe someone should tell Donny that Fred Trump's no longer around to backstop him against financial ruin.

 

[McDad]

Glad yall found another topic to see who has the stinkiest poo.
If you would get your head out of your party's crotch, we could talk about this rationally.

Democrats = rodent excrement
Republicans = rodent excrement
They are the same side.

Exactly.

 

[volsarelife1]

Exactly.

Should we talk about your hypocrisy?

 

[Vol_Doc]

Conservatives only care about the debt/deficit when Democrats are in power.

Neither of the two major parties is fiscally conservative.

Which is why they both need to go.

Deflection

 

[volsarelife1]

Deflection

So there isn't hypocrisy on both sides?

There is. But why cant we admit when the Rs suck and are pandering prostitutes? (No offense to prostitutes everywhere).

Why do you hate prostitutes so much? I have much more respect for prostitutes than I do politicians.

Terribly unfair to those ladies of ill repute. I agree.

 

[luthervol]

wrong - look at the data

Right. I have.

 

[lawgator1]

17 % is remarkably high, isn't it?

 

[volinbham]

Right. I have.

then you see your statement is wrong - it increased at a faster rate at times during the Obama administration than this increase.

Of course there is. This thread is about conservatives being hypocritical about fiscal responsibility. If you want to talk about one of the thousand ways that liberals are hypocrites, take it to another thread.

How do you feel about America selling out our children and grandchildren? Are you supporting politicians responsible for this?

It's not just hypocrisy. It's their silence as it happens. Their willing complicity.

They really don't give a **** at all.

 

[TheDeeble]

So how do you hold a govt responsible when they all refuse to spend responsibly?

Stop supporting politicians who don't pledge to balance the budget.
