Michael Ramirez for December 02, 2017

Reagan/Bush quadrupled the debt with cuts and down. “W” only doubled it, but it was a lot bigger to start, even though he inherited a surplus from Clinton. When Obama era actually included the cost of our wars Bush and Cheney started, the figures went up, simply because they included the numbers that were previously hidden.

Looney Tunes Republicans passed the tax plan under a void of course full moon. They will have nothing but problems with it.

Rather fortunate that deficits no longer matter now that the senate has passed a tax cut bill that most Americans didn’t want.

" …American voters disapprove 52 – 25 percent of the Republican tax plan. Republican voters approve 60 – 15 percent, with 26 percent undecided. All other party, gender, education, age and racial groups disapprove.

The wealthy would mainly benefit from this tax plan, 61 percent of American voters say, while 24 percent say the middle class will mainly benefit and 6 percent say low-income people would mainly benefit.

American voters say 59 – 33 percent that the Republican tax plan favors the rich at the expense of the middle class.

Only 16 percent of American voters say the Republican tax plan will reduce their taxes, while 35 percent of voters say it will increase their taxes and 36 percent say it won’t have much impact on their taxes.

Only 36 percent of voters believe the GOP tax plan will lead to an increase in jobs and economic growth, while 52 percent do not believe it.American voter opinions on some of the elements of the Republican tax plan are:

49 – 45 percent that lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent is a bad idea;

58 – 30 percent that doubling the standard deduction is a good idea;

59 – 30 percent that eliminating the deduction for state and local income taxes is a bad idea;

48 – 43 percent that eliminating the estate tax is a good idea.

Evidently, Ramirez is trying to use Hatred Of Obama to claim the Republican’s massive deficit was not caused by them.

Why do Trump Disciples have to lie about every issue?

The deficit had nothing to do with the unnecessary and multi trillion dollar war that W started.

One of my then twelve year old son’s friends told us, “We’re moving to Washington to keep tabs on the congressman we bought.”

Ramirez takes fake news to a whole new level. The deficit existed long before Obama. Nor did Obama make is seriously worse.

Four consecutive balanced budgets under Clinton then GOP passes Bush Tax cuts in 2001. Since then we have run annual deficits every single year.

It’s comforting to know that most OECD nations are very civilized and shield their citizens from overburdening expenses …

When will the new Republican ‘Health Bill’ start kicking children with cancer out of the hospitals?

Thanks John McCain!

Now that Republicans have passed their Draconian Tax Bill we can read it and see what is in it.

Oops, the new Republican Tax bill adds trillions to the debt. Quick, blame the Democrats before someone notices!

So, now the debt will be lower?

A monument to the last adults in DC. We are left with the mess of who is actually in charge. A full year into the Trump administration and all we get is a bill for all the money the rich were gifted and more right wing crybabies whining about how they won the election.

The only ones to blame for what DC is doing today are the ones there. If McConnell, Ryan and Trump wanted to do something about this mountain of Republican debt, they would have. They didn’t do anything about it when Obama was in office, they aren’t doing anything about it now. Ramirez and the other clowns can blame everyone else, but it is McConnell, Ryan and Trump.

@Oakstone: You support Nazi’s driving down streets and killing people? We all agree that when terrorists do it it’s wrong, but when Americans are terrorists it’s okay?

Wow! A lot of uninformed people here. Ramirez is right on! Some need to study history a bit instead of just listening to liberal talking points!
