Hardly true, but 7 interest rate hikes certainly affected the deficits
Interesting how it is acknowledged that Congress is going to continue to spend money so that being the case why would anyone take money away from the taxpayers to send them more money to spend? At least taxpayers are now keeping more of what they earn generating crying ass liberals who want higher taxes and more to spend
I'm not sure what "crying ass liberals" want, but it seems to me that at least a lower deficit, if not a balanced budget, would be a good thing. The real conservatives would support a balanced budget, but then, real conservatives are in extremely short supply in Washington. Tax cuts are popular, and why not? Like you said, who doesn't want to keep more of their own money? Spending cuts, on the other hand, are pretty unpopular, and unlikely to be passed. Therefor, the likelihood is that the national debt will continue to increase, and eventually will result in the worst tax of all, inflation.
