Again, a two-fer. The Republicans under the Last Occupant added over $7Trillion to the deficit,, and when the Democrats take over, refuse to pay for it, blaming the Democrats for the Republican spending spree.
Both the Democrats and the GOP like to best finance their initiatives. The issue is who they want to help. The GOP wants to reward the top 1% and the Democrats want to help the other 99%.
All improvements take debt financing. I’d rather make sure we help the 99%. I’m sure the top 1% will find a way to make money on it.
It’s sad that the Qpublicans, and Yertle the Traitor Turtle McConshell STILL haven’t figured out that if you improve the lives of the lower 99%, they will in turn spend more of their improved disposable income on necessities, and maybe even a few luxury items, therefor improving sales and profit figures for the corporate bosses who own the GQP. Yes, it might take a few months for the improved sales figures and profits to show up, but they WILL improve.
The “Trickle-UP” theory actually DOES WORK, unlike the “Trickle-Down” theory, that DOESN’T!!!
The top 1% pay 99% of the taxes. When you raise the taxes on corporations and the top earners, they pass it on the the consumers. It is inflationary. Cost of living goes up and the little guy pays more.
Normal for the orange grifters cult to screw the country and place blame on the Democrats. The GQP doesn’t care about running up the debt like their hero did as long as it benefits the rich and the defense contractors.
The change I’d most like to see is entirely removing the $142,800 cap on how much income is subject to the FICA tax — the one that’s keeping Social Security afloat. If that 7.65% tax applied to the entirety of a person’s income, Social Security and Medicare would be solvent forever, instead of being endangered in the next decade. As it stands, the FICA structure is almost as regressive as the property tax.
A man in an expensive suit accompanied by two large rough looking men comes into your house. He befouls your carpet. The two large men point guns at you. The man in the nice suit says, “Clean it up.” It’s the GOP way.
GOPQ vs “Socialist” Democrats….Which party and its presidents have been more responsible since Nixon took office? “Quelle Surprise!”
Be sure to scroll down to see how the presidents ranked, including Barack who had to bail the country out of the GOP created fiscal crisis. Before you do, try to guess which Fat Orange Clown leads the pack.
GOP for fiscal responsibility and small government…MY A$$!

Just like every snowball that started rolling downhill decades ago, it’s Biden’s fault because he’s here NOW!

Slap a big fat tax on the rich, and the debt will go down. No more problem about the ‘debt ceiling’.

Hey GOP who inserted Trump as your puppet. And found out you could not control him. Look at my two middle fingers.
