Well. If the reports out of Davos are accurate Trump has decided to consider cutting social spending in his second term.
"Tax cuts for me and ss/medical cuts plus a huge deficit for thee" does have a certain ring to it.
Yes. Iran did it.Has Jared solved the middle east problem yet?
I’m genuinely unsure as to why people take things Trump says as being at all indicative of what he is planning on doing or even what he is considering doing.
Has such an animal ever existed? None has been spotted since 1980. Did one exist prior to that?
The Tea Party was never anything but a Republican sub-brand so fiscal conservatism not found.We poked our heads out a bit for the Tea Party, saw how that worked out, and went back into hiding.

Yep, keep them simple so the general public can understand, that's how the Repubs do it.This is on audio? Sounds like another perfect soundbite for a dem ad this year. Trump in 2016: "I'll balance the budget!" Trump in 2020: "Who cares about the budget." I'm dead serious. We need to have a whole series of these.
But when has it not been when Republicans are in office for the last 40 years? Actually I will admit that under GHWB they actually attempted some fiscal conservatism but then clearly decided they like the Reagan model of blowing up the deficit better.
Generally speaking though it's totally obvious that Republicans don't care about fiscal conservatism. If someone's a true fiscal conservative then the best case scenario for them is a Democratic president with a Republican Congress forever. Then you'll see some fiscal conservatism - not because Republicans believe in it but because they think it would be to their political advantage to sabotage the Democratic president.

Now that statement is comedy Gold! The powers that be on these forums should automatically give you 100 likes!! One question for Donny hows the national debt payoff going?? lolIt's funny that people believed that Trump, of all people, would willingly pay off debt.
That's pretty much the point that I was trying to make. Neither party cares one bit about the deficit. I may have to vote blue this election just hoping that we do get the scenario you describe.
Both sides bullshit. The GOP cuts taxes for the Rich, borrows the money to make up the difference from the Rich, and pays them interest forever. It's called winning at class warfare & owning the government of the people.
The liberals can't be fiscally responsible because you've believed they can't be fiscally responsible your whole life and if it turned out that they can be fiscally responsible well then won't you look silly.It would be really interesting to see how many times you've said "both sides".
I'll admit that in recent times the left has been a more fiscally responsible party. That doesn't mean that they are fiscally responsible. Balancing a budget hasn't been a priority for anyone recently...
And their chuds will believe it.when this bubble pops they will all come out and blame the dems. Its all so fucking stupid.
Yes, exactly, but with one crucial difference. These ads will not be misleading because Trump and members of the GOP do actually lie, and constantly. The point that is being made to voters is correct and crucial. It's time that voters learn that they can't trust the republican party, that every time a republican opens his or her mouth there is good reason to distrust what they say.
We can't win debating policy because they always lie about the effect of dem policies and their arguments are simpler and easier to digest than the arguments defending the policy. So we need to go after the core issue, which is just that they don't tell the truth. Once voters are primed to distrust them, then the policy argument can be made, and when they lie about the policy, the dem candidate can just say, see, he's lying about this just like he always does, and the voters will understand.
It's funny that people believed that Trump, of all people, would willingly pay off debt.
I'm old enough to remember when republicans started the trickle down tax cut in the 80s saying they would pay for themselves, didn't work then, sure as hell isn't working now.I'm old enough to remember Trump promised us 4 or 5% GDP growth and that he'd pay off the national debt.
Don't forget our better, cheaper healthcare.
