nauseus

I've openly stated the first 3 Trump year average as a direct follow-on comparison from Obama. Do you really think it's honest to have me include the first and most costly year of Covid panic (2020), when the debt increased at least four times the previous annual average?

Whatever that means! ????

This gave an effective majority: "The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided" (U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3). So if there was dissent in the Democratic ranks then maybe the dissenters had good reason for that?

The deficit increased at about the same rate through Obama's and Trump's regimes, until 2020 and Covid. The Trump tax cuts encouraged some businesses (and jobs) to return back to the US. The artificial stimulation of the stock market was mainly enabled right after the 2008 GFC by Federal Reserve low interest rate policies and successive rounds of QE.

By using the words are occurring simultaneously I was inferring the present tense and asking about new laws, not historical ones. Biden has been there for over two years and with a Democratic controlled senate AND house until early this month - if he hasn't repealed these oh-so-damaging Trump tax cuts by now, then I'd have to ask you just why that is?

No more selective than the post that I was responding to, which was not yours, incidentally.

What tax breaks are occurring simultaneously with this latest mad spending then?

Trump increase for 2017-19 was 8.3% of total up to end 2022. Not much different to Obama's average over the previous 8 years. You might remember that 2020 saw COVID-19 and a the associated mini-recession. Don't expect Biden to improve this. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/national-debt-by-year-compared-to-gdp-and-major-events-3306287 https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-pace-1-trillion-budget-deficit-2023-2-7-billion-new-debt-day

I didn't confess anything, that's the fact in this case.

Wrong again! But at least you're consistent.

You're always wrong.

Do you understand why I think that by this question you are being irritatingly patronizing?

The issue is debt, which has grown under red and blue govs.

The fold? Or the fooled?

The first video conveniently has the relevant question cut off. The 2nd one doesn't mention Trump. Boring as ever.

What is dumb is posting this link, which seems to open a different series of off-topic garbage videos each (waste of) time.

Both sides gave had there share. Silly billy.

It is the existing amount of debt that is shameful. If the ceiling is never lowered then how will it ever all be paid back? Or not?

Rubbish as usual.

Surely an upstanding nation like the UK could not even consider rejoining this corrupt EU, now exposed again, with its Panzeris down?

trend of decline.

Of course it is.....just as the labor force participation rate continues its trend of decline. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate

It will be truly amazing if these wonder products of debt truly do benefit the masses and I'm sure that after shaking new leaves off the magic money tree, the Dems won't be cutting any taxes. ????

Money spent on infrastructure will not necessarily benefit everyone. Tax breaks are not part of this latest mad spending, so no need to include them.

This ‘Welfare Queen’ State categorization is too simplistic and does not consider budgets, income inequalities, poverty and unemployment within each state. The recent excessive spending by Democratic regimes involves trillions more dollars not allocated to individual states.
