Republicans also allowed the taxpayers to keep more of what they earn and that has stimulated the economic activity that created 2.9 million more people employed in December 2018 vs. December 2017. You have no understanding as to the components of GDP or even the taxes you pay or their purpose still refusing to apologize for being wrong about the line items in the deficit and the reality that trillions have been "stolen" from SS and Medicare that was never repaid.
the real issue continues to be your lack of understanding of the budget, the line items in the budget and even of basic civics as to how the budget process works. Further you want to be believe what the left tells you and believe that spending in the name of compassion is the answer to all our problems and can be generated by raising taxes on the rich
The real issue is Trump and Republicans in the last Congress decided to change the revenue line for the next several years, upped the spending line for the next several years and as such took us the wrong direction in terms of deficits and additions to debt at this point in the economic cycle. Your own links and “evidence” all tell us this without exception.
Trump and Republicans in the last Congress literally accelerated additions to Total Debt at a time we did not need to.
Then you both turn around and start asking questions about paying down the debt, or feeding us bull**** about the cost of debt being the only reason for our deficits, or trying to blame the Fed, or blaming liberals, or what ever else when in actuality it was your beloved Trump and Republicans added to the problem. Your own treasury reports do not lie.
Deficit trends are going the wrong direction, neither one of you has an answer for that, and you both talk about liberals not understanding the budget. Both shocking and sad how you both try to move the debate to something else when Trump and Republicans in the last Congress added to deficits and are adding to Total Debt. In the past 2 years we have broken debt auction after auction.
Continues to make you look extremely foolish and zeros out what little credibility you had left (assuming there was any to start with.)
