GQP: "Democrats must lift the debt ceiling on their own"

[BoyNextDoor]

Sure - They deplete the treasury in senseless wars for 20 years, cut taxes on billionaires, give away taxes to Agribusiness and petrochemical companies, build tanks that the Army does not want, spend billions on jets that don't fly and now insist that America pays its debts and tell the democrats that it is all your problem.

No wonder this country fucking hates the Congress.

Conservatives keep proving, time and time again, that they know nothing about economic policy.

Of course they don't. It's why every Republican since and including Reagan have led the US into a recession that the Dems have to spend 2 years just fixing their fuckups.

Trickle down for the win!

What they hate are Democrats who always want to spend the money of Americans yet to be born. Fuck'em, let them raise the ceiling.

 

[pecksniff]

Fuck'em, let them raise the ceiling.

Let them indeed.

And when the Dems propose a more reasonable, meaning more sharply progressive and redistributive, tax code to pay down the debt, let the Pubs STFU.

There is no possibility of paying down the true debt in the lifetimes of your kids or their kids. Stop with the bullshit. Like those running the Weimar Republic, Democrats is allowed to go forth unheeded, will spend us into failed oblivion before anything get's paid back.

Stop with the bullshit that you and the rest of the conservatives ever cared. The only reason you guys care about any of it is to try to score partisan political points. The conservatives are no more fiscally responsible than a drunken gambler in Vegas.

That's no reason not to start the process -- by raising taxes.

And you say Trump supporters are gullible. LMAO.

 

[pecksniff]

It is historically true. Pub presidents trash the economy and balloon the deficit, Dem successors have to clean up the mess. That has been going on at least since Bush I.

The president doesn't have any real control of the economy. It is way too complex for one person to have any real control over it.

You are and that has nothing to do with my % factual post, dipshit.

 

[pecksniff]

And yet, a clear pattern emerges.

Conservatives know what they are doing. Wealth and income are accumulating at the top, while incomes for most Americans stagnate or decline. That is what they want.

 

[Cubantripod]

We were in a recession when Regan took office. There's a recession during Bush 42's presidency, but it was pretty much over by the time Slick Willy took office. There was another slowdown when Slick Willy left office.

You are correct. However I didn't exactly say that.

I said they don't know how to run economic policy. They know how to game it for the rich, but that isn't a good - or sustainable - economic policy for the country.

Between 2016 and 2020 the Trump administration increased the US National debt to 27 Trillion dollars, an increase of 35% in four years.

This is by far the greatest increase in either proportionate or absolute terms in the peacetime history of the USA.

This is at best a lie. Either by direct deceit or through manipulation and omission.

Technically, that recession (a fairly mild one) was over when Reagan took office. Then there was a much worse one a year or so into his term.

You're really not nearly as smart as your avatar, are you?

But more important was the state of the economy by the end of GHWB's term. Based partly on the S&L crisis, which grew directly out of Pub ideology-driven deregulation.
