Why isn't pj& company screaming about the $1b Somali fraud that Walz knew about?

 

Every doge attempt to cut spending was met by lawsuits. 

pj & co had no problem adding trillions in Obamacare spending which was only supposed to be temporary. 

 

Where is the democrat plan to reduce spending?

 

 


Democrats aren't interested in cutting spending.  They're interested in paying for spending. 
republicans aren't interested in cutting spending either as proved by every Republican president Tom has ever voted for.   They just lie about cutting spending so they can rationalize their tax cuts to their base.   

tom is proof their base falls for it every time including now.

  You are right about one thing - all the DemocRATs care about IS spending - with no concern where they spend tax payer money and no concern how they spend the money - which is why the national debt is where it is today.

"Spending" isn't inherently bad, or even icky. In point of fact, government spending MUST increase over time, as long as the population increases, just to maintain the same level of government services.

 

Or perhaps stupid Tom doesn't understand that basic fact?

 

Where is the Republican plan to make up for the trillions of income tax dollars that are no longer being paid by the rich and big corporations? (Hint: Turdiffs recoup about 5% of that.)

 

The Democrat plan is to make the fat cats pay their fair share, and to keep government services and functions at the same level as in 2024.

government spending MUST increase over time, as long as the population increases, just to maintain the same level of government services.

 

Numbers continue to confuse stupid kevin

 

US population in 2016 was 323m

US population in 2025 is 342m

A 5.9% increase

 

Fed budget in 2016 $4T

Fed budget in 2025 $7T

75% increase

 

With stupid kevin logic budget should be $4.3T

 

The Democrat plan is to make the fat cats pay their fair share

 

Classic democrat line, so define "fair share" with an actual number 

 

make up for the trillions of income tax dollars that are no longer being paid by the rich and big corporations

 

Another classic democrat line.

 

Top 1% of the population pays 43% of the income tax.


Tom thinks there is some way to cut spending that doesnt include cutting Social Security or Medicare benefits....thats why he always points to petty shit like Foreign Aid and government worker salaries as if thats some meaningful number.    

 

Ultimately someone is going to have to sacrifice to balance the budget.   You can either cut benefits or pay for them.     

 

The worst thing you can do is vote the same way Tom does - for people who cut government revenues and increase spending.

Bleating about spending while ignoring policies that slash revenue is typical Tom-stupid MAGA. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

 

As is cheering and licking Trump's balls while he steals hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build himself a golden throne room.

Here is a good article that shows the policy that added to the debt since 2001 were tax cuts ($8.4 trillion) followed by stimulus spending ($6.8 trillion), new federal spending ($5.9 trillion), and Medicare expansion ($1.1 trillion).  It's not a one party problem.  https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/feb/25/patty-murray/are-republican-tax-cuts-the-single-biggest-driver/

The difference is, the stimulus spending was necessary and beneficial. The tax cuts just made the fat cats fatter.

 

You might remember, the story in 2018 was that with all the tax savings, the Big Pig corporations would use the extra cash to invest and expand. Our nation would enter a new golden age blah blah blah. Instead, the Pigs used the money for stock buybacks.

 

So your taxes went to fatten shareholders.
