And needless to say now WB really cares about the budget deficit. Sorry you and your party lost any credibility it had on that issue for your orange cheeto god. And I doubt Biden is going to make the same mistakes Obama did with Mitch and party.
M E M, your resorting to insults against Trump only demonstrates how emotionally unhinged you are, and how you have no facts to support your views or your vicious Democrat-Bolshevik party. Calling them Bolsheviks is not an insult, it is an accurate description of their reliance on lies, demagoguery, intimidation and mob violence to ram their way into power with a one-party system. We arfe in the middle of a marxist revolution.
Going back to Bill Clinton, the cumulative debt was stabilized at about 5 trillion, and ONLY because of Newt Gingrich and the Republican revolution, that made it one of their 10 promises to the country if they were elected in the Nov 1994 election. Bill Clinton tried to blow it off repeatedly and ONLY because of public pressure on Clinton did Clinton finally concede to a balanced budget legislation.
During George W. Bush's Jan 2001- Jan 2009 administration, Bush added another 5 trillion. I was vocal at the time that I didn't like it. The argument was that the war on terror and building homeland security was the cause, but only about 1 trillion of the new debt was defense/security spending. The remainder was for social spending, where in an orgy of new federal spending, W. Bush tried to gain Democrat cooperation by giving them a lot of what they wanted, welfare spending they'd been dreaming about for decades, such as S-CHIP, No Child Left Behind, and a very expensive Prescription Drug Plan. Democrats eagerly passed all this spending legislation, *AND* approved all the military spending and wars, and then incredibly fully blamed Bush when the wars had major setbacks. But Bush didn't give up, and both wars were largely won by the end of his term. I might add, Barack Obama viciously opposed the Bush/McCain troop surge in Iraq, and at every turn undermined it for 18 months, and then when the plan he opposed produced victory, Obama stole credit for winning the war in Iraq.
When Obama came in from Jan 2009-Jan 2017, He passed one trillion-dollar spending package after another Stimulus Bill, Omnibus bill, and Obamacare that cost many trillions beyond what Democrats assured it would cost, and crushed business growth, businesses stopped hiring because they couldn't afford to give employees what Obamacare mandated they provide. . Obama raised the national debt from 10 trillion at the time he took office, to 20 trillion when he left, an unprecedented rise in debt. And also TRIPLED the amount of printed currency, so his government could spend even more, what I term "burning the wick at both ends.
Trump came in and stabilized the ship, rebuilding our military, and neutering the nation-crippling mandates of Obamacare, and otherwise slashing regulation and drawing factories and jobs back to the United States, in what was quantifiably and undeniably the best U.S. economy in over 50 years, and by every measure, those who benefitted the most were the middle class, poor, women and minorities. The reason Trump had deficits of over a trillion per year is because the Democrats extorted huge pork spending in order to allow Trump to pass any legislation. For example, Trump wanted an additional 700 billion to rebuild our military, but the Democrats held it back and extorted a total 1.6 trillion of additional spending to allow it to pass. Because our military was so depleted from 8 years of Obama (50% of our military aircraft were grounded and not combat-ready) there was an urgency that made Trump accept the pork spending., because our military urgently needed rebuilding. And on further legislation that Democrat extortion and waste happened repeatedly.
So what you try to blame on Trump is a lie. It was clearly your party, not Trump, who demanded that spending. So Trump racked up about 5 trillion more to the cumulative debt in his 4 years. And clearly Covid-19 related legislation that would have been spent regardless of who other than Trump was in office (as it has been in every other nation worldwide), so your demonizing Trump for that is partisan and ridiculous. I would argue that Trump spent less than others would have, and more targetedly toward things that would actually speed up recovery, and would really help average working Americans.
And now Biden is in office since Jan 2021, and we see just how incompetent and wasteful a president can be. $6 trillion in legislation so far , in just Biden's first 100 days, and now he and the Democrats are pushing for ANOTHER 6 trillion ! We are definitely in Weimar Republkic territory. And I think that the Democrat openly-marxist-Bolsheviks are actually TRYING to collapse the country. They openly despise our nation's heroes and history, and worship the likes of Mao, Soviet Russia, Castro's Cuba, Hugo Chavez, and the Sandinista government. They are open about their hatred for our Constitution and our flag, and our capitalist system. It's a mystery to me how you can whine about deficits after Obama's 8 years of economic destruction, and now the incredible new trillions in waste under Joe Biden being rammed through. But then, how could you NOT expect this kind of corruption from Biden and family's 50 years of open graft, and the further staffing of Biden's cabinet with current and former China lobbyists. It's like having read Hitler's
Mein Kampf and not forseeing what Hitler would do in the Rhineland, the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia.
The Democrat plan at every turn: - Be corrupt, and conceal it by accusing Republicans of being corrupt.
- Be treasonous, and conceal it by accusing Republicans of being treasonous.
- Endorse socialism, Marxism, Saul Alinsky, Cloward/Piven strategy, and Mao, and then front that Democrats are the true patriots, even as they destroy America, and corruptly profit from that destruction along the way.
- Weaponize federal agencies against their Republican opposition, maliciously prosecute Republicans for crimes they're not guilty of, while simultaneously using a weaponized FBI and DOJ to destroy and bury the evidence at every turn of DEMOCRAT crimes:
- Obama and Lois Lerner's weaponizing the IRS to win the 2012 election,
- Obama and Hillary's negligence and guilt for the attack on our Benghazi embassy (it has never even been disclosed exactly where Obama and Hillary were during that attack),
- Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server, Hillary Clinton's 30,000 deleted e-mails and documents,
- Hillary Clinton's Russia collusion, done through Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, that the Clinton campaign and the DNC both paid MILLIONS directly to Russian agents for their opposition research "Russia dossier". - Weaponize a hyper-partisan liberal media to aid in their propaganda war against the Republicans, and against ANY dissenters (even Democrats) who get in the way of their Bolshevik revolution.
- The Cancel culture: Completely blocking out one entire side of the political dialogue and cancelling/blocking accounts of conservatives on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other social media.
Again, you try to pretend this is just about Trump. But the absolute fact is, this is the exact same treatment the Democrat/Left and media for decades have also given to Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, Reagan, and any other Republican who dared to be a presidential candidate. The last 3 Republicans offered before Trump were the most moderate/milquetoast RINO Republicans you could dream of, eager to compromise and give the Democrat most or all of what the Dems wanted. But EVEN THEY were demonized as right-wing, Nazi, racist, out-of-touch blue-bloods, warmongers, crazy, dangerous. The most moderate and compromising Republicans that Democrats could possibly dream of dealing with, and EVEN THEY were demonized by the Democrat/left !
Even Trump, while conservative, was (like Reagan) willing to negotiate and make generous compromises to the Democrats, if the Dems weren't so filled with hate and unwilling to deal, even when it hurt the nation not to deal, refusing just to deprive Trump and the Republicans of a political win, even when it would have been win-win for everyone.
And in only slightly less fierce hatred, but basically using the same "Nazi-racist" slanders, Democrats said basically the same things about milquetoast/establishment G.H.W. Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, all the way back to Goldwater. They demonized ANY Republican offered, and at no point did the Democrat/Left give any of these Republicans credit for anything. But a Democrat party increasingly more radicalized crazy-Left every 4 years since 2000.
There is no negotiating with the Democrat party, they are now openly marxist
From the marxist-Alinsky-ite Clintons.
To the marxist, anti-colonialist, cultural marxist, Black Liberation Theology Barack and Michelle Obama (Derrick "hate whitey" Bell, the founder of Critical Race Theory, was a personal friend of Barack Obama, and Obama even introduced Bell at a speaking event, VIDEOTAPED, as a clear zealous Derrick Bell disciple, fervently encouraging the crowd to "embrace the work of Derrick Bell") . Critical race theory !
to Valerie Jarrett.
to A O-C and her "squad",
to Bernie Sanders
to Chuck Schumer to Nancy Pelosi,
to BLM, to Antifa,
to "Mad" Maxine Waters,
to VICE PRESIDENT Kamala Harris (saying of BLM/Antifa rioting in over 275 cities: "Right on up to election day, and after, they're not going to stop, and they SHOULDN'T stop!" ) .
To semi-coherent Joe Biden ("I'd like to take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him"). Saying not just once, but many times.
The openly violent Democrat-Left.
There are no moderates left in the DNC. They're all on board, no one dissents or criticizes even the most radical violent fanaticism proposed from their fellow Democrat leaders. Often stating their violent intent in terms akin the Jacobinists of the French Revolution, or the Chinese Maoist revolution, or a Stalinist purge. As I said before, BLM often
carrying guillotines and effigy severed heads.
They are rabidly marxist, they are evil, and they are dangerous. And the Democrat party has been hijacked by them. By all visible signs,
eagerly so.
And there is absolutely no ability for Republicans, or anyone else, to reason or compromise with them. They are a freight train, and the only way to survive it is to get off the track.
But yeah, Trump is the bad guy. How DARE he save the country from your violent Bolshevik revolution !
