I find it ironic that a poster that has spent so much time pushing for Democrats in the past, is so concerned with our debt.

When the economic reality hit us over the next 2 years, they will 100% forget what Biden did in 2023 and 2024. They will pay a small lip service to slightly mention Biden, but it will all be due to Trump from 2016-2020 and Trump's 2025/26.

Naw.

Intellectual consistency does that.

Nah. It's the truth. You know it too.

Here is what NA posted. And not a single response. to address what was stated. None.

Maybe you will???

(A) There is no "fit" being thrown.
(B) The Debt Limit has never once, EVER, in the history of the US, limited debt. Not once! So your assertion that Trump "doesn't want to be limited on debt," is so TDS-riddled that it rivals Whoopi Goldberg level logic.
(C) The only thing the Debt Limit is good for is empowering the minority negotiating stakeholder vis-a-vis threatened government shutdown in negotiations.
(D) In March, guess who the minority stakeholders are.
(E) Schumer's stooge, Chip Roy, gave Dems not only that lever, but also a bite at new budget negotiations along with it.


Why? You know why. They are not here to have a discussion be it in agreement or disagreement.

Just so we are clear, the Debt is not a problem with MAGA going forward.
NO!

Just so we are clear, the Debt Limit will do nothing to reduce debt.

The Debt Limit never has reduced debt.

The Debt Limit never will reduce debt.

Those things will be done via the budget, if they are done at all.
Are we clear?

The Debt Limit is a lever the minority stakeholder can use to force budget talks and get more than the minority might have otherwise gotten.
¿Comprende?

The Debt Limit will be raised in the Spring.
Debt and Deficits will continue if there is desire to continue with them.

But Chip Roy's blithering stupidity gives Dems leverage to stall out the Trump agenda, and spend more money. That is a major problem with MAGA going forward.

Neither are you. Youre here to fight off anyone who criticizes anything Trump says.

You have no ideology.

We just elected Trump in grand fashion to implement his policy. We didn't elect congressmen to block his agenda.


So, you want a post-fire Reichstag instead of a Democratic Republic.

Trump was elected last time to build a wall. He tried. The GOP majority congress stymied him, even though they claimed they supported the issue.


Why should congress get involved? Mexico was going to pay for it.

Maybe live up to your campaign promises.

Yet it cost McCarthy his job and turned yall against Johnson, prior to Trump supporting the CR.

It is a control. Yes, it will keep big spenders from going too far.

Trump is a HUGE spender. He absolutely needs hawks on his arse to keep him in line.

I, for one, welcome our newfound cadre of converted “fiscally conservative Republican” commies like Eurocat, BayouBlitz, and that Nawlins dude.

I refuse to look at it as anything but a positive. Hey, whatever it takes.

Sorry. That is nothing but a disrelated association looking for a name. If tax cuts are progressive, when was the last time progs proposed tax cuts? If tax cuts are progressive, when is the last time progs supported tax cuts?

Right?

And now you know that the weasel tossing out the concept that tax cuts are progressive is one silly goose.

Wrong, Progressive.

Youre desperately trying to distance yourself from this objective fact.

Do you think tax cuts with increased spending is conservative? Because it isn’t.

Yes. Seeing those figs advocate for fiscal conservatism is like watching Bruce Jenner advocate for traditional gender roles.

When you add it to vastly increased spending, its Progressive. MMT is a real thing.

This is how partly why he pushed so much debt on us prior to Covid.

I don't care about apostrophes, but you are quite careless with your pronouns.

What specifically cost KM his job?
Try to be honest here. Don't look silly.

NO!

Vastly increased spending may be progressive. Deregulation, decreased taxes, etc. are not.
