The article raises two questions; How is it all the Democrats' fault and if it isn't, it still is. The latter part may not have been an actual question, but who cares. Screw those damn dirty Democrats.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, its working exactly as intended by the Republicans and their puppeteers. The rich shit on everyone else while they pay Republicans to feed them bullshit lies about other people to blame for it, and enough of them do that it just makes everyone have to deal with that stupid shit instead of rectifying the original problem.

This is fake news, you can't believe anything you see. Only Trump knows the TRUTH and trust him he is doing the best job ever. Look how he brought the unemployment rate down from 42% to like 4% in just 18 months. The man is amazing! Once he gets the money from the tax dodging democrats the national debt will be paid off in link 15 more months.

I dunno guys, I get the feeling that republicans weren't sincere about this for about 8 years

That’s odd, I distinctly remember the national debt being such a huge threat that many Republicans were willing to let the nation default on its debts and risk a worldwide financial collapse to rein it in. I wonder what changed?

Very confusing because we all know their complaints about the deficit and debt were genuine so clearly something big must have happened.

It's no problem since Trump is going to pay off the national debt with the bigly tariffs he's enacting.

Speaking of tax cuts-

LBJ laid it out 50 years ago & they still don't believe it-

Blacks, browns & urban liberals are all colored now.... Illegals are, of course, the lowest of the low...

The check is in the mail.

Trump loves everything bigger. He is probably shooting for a record deficit.

 

[brycejones]

Anytime now a conservative will be along to condemn the Trump admin.

Hell with the deficit, Cheeto said he would eliminate the DEBT in just 8 years:

Eliminate the federal debt in 8 years



"We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt. ... Well, I would say over a period of eight years. And I’ll tell you why.”

Trump insisted in the interview that “renegotiating all of our deals” would help pay down the debt by sparking economic growth.

“The power is trade. Our deals are so bad,” Trump said. “I would immediately start renegotiating our trade deals with Mexico, China, Japan and all of these countries that are just absolutely destroying us.”

So K1052 is right....Cheeto is going to eliminate the debt with tarriffs! Winning....bigly.

I wouldn't say they are that great at a thing that they keep getting busted for after always trying to hide it.
