Go ahead, let's compare Obama your way to GWB. Either way you look at it, my point stands. You only use this to point your finger, cuck.

It is funny how you're claim the economy is growing at the same pace as Obama set, but then scream "Trump!" at the top of your lungs and ignore the trend of the deficit.

There's no reason to compare presidents at similar times into their terms? Are you kidding me? It takes time for the moves a new president makes to take effect and have an impact. Obama came in, increased the deficit by a huge amount, the economy grew.

Exactly, there is no reason to compare the federal budget situation and economy at the same point in each president's term, at least in nominal terms as you are attempting to do. I don't know how ignorant, stupid, or dishonest someone would have to be to want to do something that dumb.

If you're doing comparisons in nominal terms then you want to compare the two years closest to one another. This is basic logic and common sense.

Trump came in, deficits increased, but at a rate less than this time in Obama's presidency, the economy is growing. There is nothing evaluating them in this way, you just want to steer things the direction that look good for your incorrect arguments. Deflect! Deflect!

This is untrue. Deficits decreased under Obama, not increased. The big jump in deficit happened in FY2009, which was a Bush budget year.

lol, 'cuck'? My friends and I sometimes mine the_donald for the most hilariously dumb posts and they almost always feature people calling others 'cucks'.

I just want you to know that people are laughing and laughing at your attempts to sound tough.

Exactly, it's bad news that the economy isn't growing faster when Trump is deficit spending at this rate in a time of low unemployment. It points to weakness.

This is exactly what counter-cyclical fiscal policy is all about. We had a huge demand hole in 2009-2011 that federal deficits helped fill, mitigating the effects of the financial crisis. We don't have a demand hole now, Trump is just pissing money away on the military and tax cuts for rich people. It's really stupid.

Soon Trumpers are going to be mining more George Constanza insults and they’ll be saying the jerk store is all out of me.

Newsflash: you're the one deflecting by bringing up Obama in a thread about Trump.

Holy crap, the first chart even shows deficit increases during every Republican president and decreases during every Dem president. What could it mean!?!

Yea, I know you guys are really fiscally responsible compared to conservatives. Tell me again how you want tax payer provided healthcare for all Americans, healthcare for illegal immigrants that are here, student debt forgiven, socialized college, etc. Like I said originally in this thread: YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO STAND ON. You're just partisan cheerleaders, good little NPC's.

The point is that the fiscally conservative politicians you are electing are not acting fiscally conservative. They are lying to you.
Liberal politicians have never claimed to be fiscally conservative. Their argument has always been that these things will be expensive, but they are worth the cost.

You are a liar and a cuck. You keep trying to spin the bottom line truth. I posted charts, lefties didn't care about the HUGE deficits, the big deficit increase, or the nearly $10 TRILLION dollars in debt Obama added. Today the economy is growing and we have a deficit in line with past admins (significantly lower than Obama's at equivalent years in his presidency) and you act like the sky is falling. You whine about the current deficit while you want fluffed up social programs, basic income, tax payer funded college, etc. Crocodile tears about the deficits today. Weak.

You want illegal immigrants to have healthcare as a human right (and decriminalize crossing the border)? Tell me more how you care about the deficits. LOL

Exactly what we needed. We spend too much on social programs, more than any other space there is the most fat to cut there. MAGA.

I take it the revered Jerb Creators will step in to care for the most vulnerable Americans, huh? The down & out, the temporarily embarrassed millionaires? People who are often victim of circumstances beyond their control? Honest working people?

Fuck them Losers. When you go down, biatch, you're going all the way & we'll make sure you stay down.

Nope, I just think that 2017 is a better indication of what 2018 should look like than 2009 was. This is because I’m not stupid.

I still think it’s funny that you’re trying to blame Obama for deficits George W Bush primarily signed into law, btw. Durrrrrr.[/img]

He is only bringing Obama into this because he hates black people......
If Obama was white there would be no mention of his name!!

He’s bringing back Obama because he’s emotionally committed to defending Trump and can’t admit that Trump’s been bad.

If it looks like Trump is doing something bad the game plan is to either:

1) say it isn’t happening (fake news!)
2) say it’s not his fault
3) say someone else is worse (buh buh buh OBAMA!)

So your hoping Trump runs on gutting social security and Medicare (other than just racial resentment) for his re-election campaign?

I really hope he takes your terrible advice.

Obama added about $10,000,000,000,000 to the national debt.
no, no he didn't. not yet, at least. obama left office with 19.947 trillion in debt accumulated through all our history. of that, 13.171 (understated because i'm using a monthly compound) was inherited. so that's ~6.8 trillion. average interest rates over the last few years since obama left office have been under 3%. so, that puts obama at about 7.2 trillion in added debt. give it another decade and it'll be approaching 10 trillion.

He's bringing Obama and the great recession into this because Trump's results are so bad you can only make a favorable comparison to a once in a century economic meltdown (which was caused by the last Republican president...)

It's like saying Fukushima is doing great because it's better than what happened to Chernobyl.

Same guy here, going all the way back to the Fusetalk days, I was a trout avatar forever. Been here a long time, I just took a break in posting and posted almost exclusively in the CPU and Video card section in the past (P&N was always too much of a cesspool for my tastes at the time). Do you guys ever get tired of being dead wrong?

I'm sure they will before you will.
