That's basically what they're saying when they all opposed the Tax Reform bill.
All of my liberal friends support big, invasive, and powerful governments and agencies because they trust them implicitly. Except mentioning the S&WB in Nola to them I get: "...yeah, that should probably be privatized."
So why not privatize a lot of gov't shite? Why wait until it's a corrupt agency? Gov't is not efficient or held to account like private businesses are.

Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell? Or does he mean liberal economists?

He's the one that blew up the deficit with his stimulus, talk about a waste. Falling three quarters in his last year and still left office with a much higher deficit than when he came in.
Really one of the worst presidents ever. Dishonest too. Oh, and he tapped TRUMP'S wires.

That fricking abominable omnibus bill.
It will be a big knock on Trump if he doesn't curtail gov't spending by the end of his presidency IMO.

This sound like the voice of fiscal responsibility? The omnibus bill was stonewalled by democrats until it was filled to pork to “end austerity”.

The Republicans' massive $1.3 trillion "omnibus" spending bill has at least one enthusiastic fan: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Schumer proudly proclaimed Thursday that the deal shows that America's "era of austerity" has "come to an end."

Well I'm sure open borders and free shite for all will fix that!
Vote Dem, because the Dems know how to be commies which is really close to economies. Proving they are the fiscal party!

I don’t understand why Democrats just don’t come out and blatantly say it, “We don’t think you should keep more of the money that you earn.” Seriously, Democrats believe they can spend our money more wisely than we can.
The Dems don't want to raise your taxes. They don't want to raise my taxes. They just want to raise taxes on 'the rich'.

Why don't you just come out and say that the government deserves more of our money?

Best part about that is ‘the rich’ will continue to change brackets once they have sucked the previously highest bracket dry. They’ll move to the next highest one until that one is sucked dry as well.

It doesn’t. The debt is what is important.
In Barrack Hussein Obama’s last calendar year as president he added 888 billion to the debt.
In Trump’s first calendar year 546 billion was added to the debt.
So you see, the debt (which does matter) is actually down almost 40% over Trumps first calendar year. Now will it be up to Obama levels by the end of Trump’s 2nd calendar year? Maybe, but it has a ways to go to get there yet.
