Who stands for what?

As regards to the size of the Federal Government- the Republicans # say# they stand for limited Govt, but they never back that up.


The Democrats are at least honest. They stand for either BIG govt. Double BIG Govt or triple BIG Govt.


what next?????

The far left have said they want to spend 93 trillion dollars, JUST TO START on the Green New Deal. That doesn't even include MFA, paying reparations to everyone who was ever wronged, forgiving student loan debt and offering free college, and of course infrastructure spending. If you think I believe only the rich will be paying for all of that then you are mistaken.

Well, if you add up every spending proposal that every radical Democrat has ever made, it adds up to a lot. But when the sausage gets made, even with the Democrats in an undivided government, it's the most moderate democrats who swing the votes. Despite all your doom and gloom, democrats don't blow up the deficit or give away the farm. That's what Republicans do for the past 40 years.

They call it "starve the beast." Tax cuts now to force spending cuts later. They're blowing up the deficit on purpose.
 
Moderate Right said:
Yes, I'm not happy about that. Things run best when we have a Democratic president and a Republican House and Senate. But, if you let Democrats control everything in the upcoming elections, over 100 trillion dollars to 200 trillion dollars will be spent, far far worse than letting Republicans having total control.

That is a hilariously made up number. Lol

That seemed much like a Sean Hannity claim: take the largest annual projected cost of all loony left proposed policies combined (GND, M4A, BIG/UBI and "free" college) muliply that guesstimate by 10 or 20 years and say that's a fact - look it up!

The difference is in what they want this big government to be doing, and in how much accountability they allow. Republicans like to spend money on weapons and tax cuts e.

If you want to talk about abortion - at least be honest. I'm pro abortion myself, but I understand that pro choice people are are about protecting human life, not 'controlling a women's s uterus".

If you want to make this argument explain to me. When *exactly* there is a separate human life that deserves protection.
And I freely admit, science is not on the pro choice side .That time period keeps shrinking as modern science makes advances on when a human life can be sustained sans mother.

So tell me- when is out of the mother's hands?

I'm not voting for any side that clearly says they do want to spend into doom and gloom territory.

Even your forum handle isn't a fact. Stop posting, it would be more factual.

LOL. You guys have been losing a lot of debates lately, more than the usual. I accept your complete and total surrender.
 
Moderate Right said:
LOL. Then you can't blame Republicans for maybe adding 10 trillion onto the debt when you say you are perfectly OK with adding 60 trillion onto it.

Only if it is well spent. It isnt
 
Moderate Right said:
That's the trouble with you lefties. You are willing to spend the country into complete insolvency as long as it is "well spent".

What on Earth does that have to do with you wanting to spend 60 trillion dollars and force the country into bankruptcy?
