In terms of spending and revenues, it makes a difference what the spending is for. If you spend for wild drunken parties (like a pole-dancing Trump) the money is just gone. If you INVEST in resources that create the basis for future economic growth, like investing in a carefully-planned business opportunity, sure, you may go into debt to get things off the ground, but in the long run the investment funds greater future revenues and pays off — it creates the basis for prosperity.
Under Trump, the Republicans blew holes in the deficit, NOT TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE or economic growth, but to simply give massive corporate welfare and tax giveaways to the few richest elites who already had the most. Of course, as they have done since the 1920’s, they promised it would “trickle down” to the rest of us, but like all the other economic failures of Republican administrations, it was all a lie. “Trickle down” is an economic fraud — an eCONomic con game.
In contrast, Biden and the Democrats are proposing spending to INVEST in our nation’s physical and social infrastructure, to create the basis for a prosperous economy for all, one that “bubbles up” and stimulates the consumer demand that drives the need for more production (thus more employment) and broad-based prosperity.
Trump followed the Reagan/Bush/Bush play book, enriched Wall $treet, impoverished Main Street and blew up the deficits and debts to new stratospheric levels. Trump even said “I love debt” and called himself the “King of Debt,” so his exploding of the debt should come as no surprise.
Conservatives have a lot of nerve trying to lecture PROgressives on fiscal responsibility.
The cartoon is also correct on another level; Trump tried to use the office to grift money for his personal accounts. “Let’s hold the G7 at Mar-a-Lago” “Let’s bill the secret service $600 per agent to house my security detail”
Prosecutors ‘astonished’ after family member directly implicates Trump in ‘explosive interview’
Jennifer Weisselberg, the former daughter in law to indicted Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, told investigators last month in New York that Trump personally guaranteed he would pay school tuition for her two children instead of increasing a salary that could be taxed, reported The Daily Beast.
“Weisselberg [on June 25] provided key details for investigators,” the website reported. “In January 2012, inside Trump’s office at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, Jennifer Weisselberg watched as Trump discussed compensation with her husband and her father-in-law, both company employees. Her husband wouldn’t be getting a raise, but their children would get their tuition paid for at a top-rated private academy instead.”
Every time there’s a new Democratic administration, they end up cleaning up the fiscal and economic mess the prior Republican administration made. That the Republicans get away with being seen as the party of fiscal responsibility shows how effectively their messaging is, and how ineffective the Democratic party is at countering it.
Ever since Ford Republicans have multiplied the deficit. Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump (who made trillion dollar deficits inevitable every year). They spend money like drunken sailors. They say things like, and I quote, “Ronald Reagan proved deficits don’t matter!” Then, when Democrats are elected the Republicans suddenly get very concerned. Happened with Carter, Clinton, and Obama. This is especially nauseating since Clinton’s tax reforms produced the first budget surplus in thirty years and were on track to eliminate the national debt. But along came Shrubus Minimus and the Cadet Bone Spurs who threw that all away.
