    thanks, that is exactly what I am saying, debt been rising every year since Bush jr, and continues even today, no end in site....

    in a good economy Trump should have reversed this trend, instad he choose a mega tax cut for the mega corps, but at this point I think it's too late, I do not think it maters who wins in 2020, a crash is coming

    agree, Trump and his people should not get a safe space, he should have to testify under oath, they are not above the law

    site the bill Bush signed that caused spending to increase as it's been increasing at almost a trillion a year since Bush jr, you must be able to site the bill that started this "extra" spending and what was in the bill that used up 1 trillion dollars a year more than previous years

    the only things that changed were the Bush tax cuts for the rich and the two 10+ year wars

    Someone let the DNC know that I will offer them a deal. I have $17 in loose change. I will give it all to them, yes all of it, if they just shut down and go away, if they really care about America they will disband that communist party. $17 that will double their coffers.

    $17 that would take Bernie 1700 donors to equal.

    I said nothing about "extra "spending.. our normal every day budget is WAY too big and our federal government is WAY too big..

    we should cut government in 1/2 and cut government spending in 1/2.


    if you want to put it in terms of EXTRA. i'd say everything but paying down the debt is EXTRA, call them "expendable" expenses. meaning that those programs could go away entirely.

    how about not doing the 2020 census that would be a good start

    Yes yes the Trump recession is coming.

    I read to you now from the book of leftistm: "And I looked, and behold a pale climate: and his name that sat on him was Putin, and Ukraine followed with him."

    but to reduce it, we need to know what increased it, and the increase started under Bush jr

    we did fine all the way up to Bush, then Bush doubled the debt of all the Presidents before him, what happened?

    nope 50% cut across the board.. paying down the debt is more important than political finger pointing... So is divesting the federal government of power over the people, that's super important

    no, you keep saying trump increases it by a trillion every year...

    false, it's only increased 1.7 t over three years under trump, that's a half trill per year...

    now lets look at obamma's reign, it increased by 7.7 tril, an average more than double of trump's...

    biase always shines through, because facts are facts no matter how badly you twist them

    I said it increased by about a trillion, the war has tamed down sense Obama and Trump, it was in full swing under Bush, but the tax cuts for the rich are still there, that is the other half of the equation

    Obama also had to count Bush's bank bail outs and the stimulus to recover Bush's down economy

    the fact is we can see when the rise took place, and it was under Bush jr

    [​IMG]

    Bush should never of been President... period

    Bush started our downfall and Trump will finish it off

    Is that the reason the Democrats abandoned the unions?

    Gave into globalization and didn't give a rats ass what the unions had to say about it.

    Or were they desperate to pass campaign finance reform because they were finding themselves having to sell out to big corporations and finance firms?

    This is clear evidence that the economy is the biggest driver in reducing debt growth..

    Good thing Obama inherited an e economy at the beginning of a recovery.


    The big problem is we need to reduce debt not debt growth. Debt growth means we aren't even making our minimum payments.

    Bloomburg has lotsa money.

    he is spending $30 million on anti trump ads

    the dems only goal is to defeat trump and make sure is a one term president

    just the Republican goal was to make Obama a one term president

    the Republicans could not succeed

    my guess is within 10 years there Republican Party will be a memory
    Thanks Donnie

    Yet there are two Ruskies in jail awaiting trial for illegal campaign contributions to a Super PAC fund for Trump... Explain that.
