Deficits dont matter.

Quick history lesson....

 

The mantra "Deficits dont matter - we'll grow our way out of debt" was first sponcered by Dick Cheney and the GWB administration.     That was their reasoning behind the first wave of tax cuts that blew up the debt.

 

THen they said it again when they passed a second round of tax cuts along with free prescription drugs for seniors all of which was unreconciled and blew up the debt even more.

 

Then Trump and Paul Ryan said the same thing about their tax cuts in Trump's first term which proceeded to blow up the debt even more.

 

And guess what?    They're saying it again now.   Trump and a non-stop parade of Republican senators on TV.  And why shouldnt they?       I mean - people like Tom, Boilerman, and Charles all fell for it the first three times so why not again now? 

 

 

And the best part is this - when the bill comes due and the budget looks like the bedroom after a Sean Diddy freakoff - you can bet all those budget busting politicians along with their constituents on Las Vegas Message boards will all blame the debt on Food Stamps and Medicaid.....oh, and salaries of National Park Rangers.        

Boilerboob in particular pretends that HORRIBUL GUMMINT SPENDIN' is the sole contributor to the deficit. Even a child knows that there are two reasons why Mommy and Daddy might not have enough money: they spend too much and/or they don't make enough. Cutting your income in half, like Trump did and wants to do again, means that the bills won't get paid. I mean, DUHH, Boiler.

 

As our population ages, our medical expenses will go up. Taxes will have to increase. There's no way around it. But MAGA tries to save their billionaire master's money by endlessly whining about government spending.

Spending is too high.  ZERO Democrat politicians will vote for spending cuts.  Many Republicans politicians will not vote for spending cuts.  99% of Democrat voters won't vote for a politician who wants to cut spending.  Too many Republican voters won't vote for cuts.  Trump wants huge spending cuts, but can't get 'em.

Trump wants to personally pay no taxes and reward his corporate buddies with the same exemption. Beyond that, he doesn't give a shit. A classic sicko narcissist, he literally cannot consider any policy or situation except in terms of how it affects him.

 

Case in point. His Big Ugly Bill will blow up the deficit. Large deficits balloon interest rates. But the Turd just sent a threatening note to Jerome Powell demanding that the Fed lower interest rates 

 

He's truly stupid

Sounds like our representative government is listening to it's constituents, based on your beliefs.

We just went through DOGE.   That was a 100% Republican controlled effort to cut spending.   And after all the rhetoric and all the bullshit about how the government wastes so much money.....they didnt even put a dent in the deficit.  In fact - its going to be worse going forward.

 

And despite that fact - the same Republicans are passing NEW legislation the promises to make this problem even worse.

 

 

So I'll ask again.  Boilerman, do you give your approval to this new legislation that will bust open the deficit even more?

Because the DOJ, FBI and other agencies have been obstructing this investigation and many others.  Finally, the Sub Committee is going to get access to emails where Biden used 5 alias email address to discuss crooked deals with crooked foreign companies and governments.  The committee will also finally get FBI information that the agency refused to turn over.  In this case, it's been the National Archives which has been obstructing.  Well, that just changed.  The committee already had enough to convict, and that's why Biden had to parden eveyone in site.  The GOP will make it plan as day to America just how crooked so many Democrats have been.

 

 

 

It's been 5 months, and as I highlighted in your post, you said they have enough to convict. You constantly posted about this for over a year.  After a year and a half of committee investigations, it turns out MAGA had nothing?
