    Saw it coming. Republicans kill tax revenue and the deficit grows.

    The first thing they go after are programs that help Americans. Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid.

    Massive tax cuts for the wealthy and the biggest military budget ever and now that the bank is empty let's cut the working people and the old. And the sick.

    Justify that.

    It's not like we did not have a deficit under Obama and I don't remember anybody on the left upset with him when he failed to do anything about it.

    As for Massive tax cuts for the wealthy I don't buy it. We recently just had a thread that stated the wealthiest people in the country pay more than 80% of the taxes. I need to go find that thread again.

    How exactly did the Republicans hurt Medicare and Medicaid?

    No need to do that. You guys attack us with a handful of things about the Republican Party while we have a mountain of legitimate reasons not to support the Democrats.

    Most of the left wing complaints on here end up being BS and lies as if we don't get enough of that from the media.

    Can you show us where Mitch said he wanted to cut spending and what it is he wants to cut spending for?

    Massive tax cuts during a booming economy.

    Do you guys balance your bank like that?

    He pointedly said that "we" need to cut Medicaid SS. After massive tax cut for the wealthy. It is indefensible.

    Here's Rubio saying it. I personally don't trust Rubio, Ryan, McConell etc to mess with Social Security in ways I 'wouldn't really notice' in order to pay for tax cuts to the rich.

    The social safety net is a good thing and you guys act like taking money out of your pocket.

    The corporations are taking that money.

    You guys would rather give tax cuts to people who don't need it than giving them to working Americans.

    It pisses me off.

    Overspending is a far larger portion of the deficit than tax cuts are

    That this administration is overspending on tax cuts in the first place doesn't help.

    You get to vote for people that will spend taxes to help PEOPLE.

    If you choose not to do it it's on YOU.

    The tax cut is scored at $110 billion out of an almost $1 trillion federal deficit this year

    No it is NOT.

    Cutting taxes in a good economy is stupid. Do you know economics? That is like 101 stuff.

    The tax cut is still a minor portion of the budget deficit

    Overspending is the major problem
