Remember when they were bitching about deficits. Now the gop adds 1.5 trillion to the deficit and none of them care.

Because the 1.5 T is the down payment on getting the economy moving again. As employment increases we will get that back many times over in payroll and corporate taxes.

In your dreams, along with all the other imaginary wage increases from all the other tax cuts. The CEO's have even said they're not going to increase wages and hiring because of the tax cut.

I strongly suspect that the vast majority of anger from the tea party faction was anti-Obama hatred motivated in no small part by his race and the resentment of what that meant to their own fragile sense of identity.

Once he stopped being president and his white successor made it clear his job was to erase that blackboard - they are more than happy with that even it it means raping and betraying some of the so called principles they lied about having in the first place.

It was a sham movement built on lies and fueled by racial resentment and that is now more than obvious with their silence on the debt increase and most of the cuts going to the rich and corporations - not the little guy who pretended to be speaking for all along.
 
I believe you mean the debt.

Nope. Its 1.5 trillion the the deficit. Looks like you haven't figured out what is in it. I guess pelosi was right after all. Got pass a bill to find out whats in it right?

So in other words gop debt good. Democrat debt bad. Well i guess they didnt care about spending one bit after all.

The point is still made. The GOP bashed Obama for his defecits. Lets hope there is no recession, otherwise that specualtion on paying off the debt will be just thar, a pipe dream. And guess what, there will be another recession. Its the nature of our economy. I suppose the GOP could always blame it on a Clinton. Seems to be the GOP vodoo doll even if most of America thinks its over played and tired out.
 
after Trump & his GOP goose steppers CRASH the economy, $1.5 TRILLION will seem like pocket change ............

They don't care about most of the things they say they care about.

That sounds awfully familiar...where have I heard it before? Oh, yeah, by Reagan before the 1982 recession, and by Bush 43 when instead of using the budget surplus he inherited from Clinton to pay down the debt, he mailed out checks to the American people (I got one).

Bush 41 called this "voodoo economics", because he knew that trickle-down economics doesn't work - there's NO hard evidence showing that it ever has. But anymore, y'all seem to think that Bush 41 is some kind of left-wing socialist - and besides, Trump already showed what contempt he has for those who were shot down in combat and taken prisoner by the enemy....

Oh my goodness. During the Bush tax cuts businesses where firing large sections of their work force. Please if companies can off shore their work force and the consequences for doing so is a huge tax break, what's the incentive to hire? These are the people who cause the crash of the Bush administration. They are the one's this president is rewarding. And he tells us that Americans are getting their Christmas present. Ya and he can shoot someone on fifth avenue and his base would still vote for him. This president really doesn't think too highly of his bases intellect. That's plain to see.

The Tea Party went back to calling themselves white nationalists again. ;)
 
Quite honestly I haven't heard much from the Tea Party since way before the election.

Ya ! and they don't even care if he shoots someone of fifth avenue , they will still vote for him. And now they just can't wait for him to give them their Christmas present right up the Bleep.

This president doesn't think too highly of his bases intellect as evidenced by his fifth avenue statement. And now he will give you your Christmas present. Only thing is the label on the present says (THE Koch Brothers).

And as we all know, an increase in deficit is a okay by the Republican party when it comes to kickstarting an economy.

Except in 2009 when obama was trying to pass a stimulus.

Well they didn't evaporate! Seems likely they are now calling themselves something else, like (White Nationalist)

They morphed into the "tax cuts for corporations" party. Yes, they always were a special kind of stupid.

The economy is moving. Unemployment is so low, all that job creation you are dreaming of will be in foreign lands, where--thanks to Trump's new tax plan--corporations will no longer have to pay tax on their profits.

Pretty insulting to the black, Latin and Asian members of the party, no? Dare I even mention the Muslim members?
 
They are home destroying their own families instead trying to destroy the country. ;)

The libruls like playing dumb when it comes to tax cuts. Every time income tax and corporate taxes are lowered, tax revenue increases. In the case of the Reagan tax cuts, revenue nearly doubled.
