Michael Ramirez for November 19, 2021

When do we acknowledge that a large part of that debt came for the the horrific GOP led 2017 tax cuts?

Bull shoot. Debt is not important. It’s what you BUY with the loan that matters. If we’re building a society that pays a lot more taxes with that debt, then it’s a bit win. Something that the Rong Wingers utterly refuse to mention.

When republicans in charge it like what dept??

Right righties?

Two Santa Claus Theory, pile on the debt while in office, scream about the debt when out of office. Be the Santa of tax cuts (making sure most go to the wealthy) while forcing your opponent to shoot their Santa of social justice.

Republicans, afraid to invest in the future of America and build things for our children.

GOP would rather take bribe money for their coffers than to fix what ails AMERICA! Bad Politicians!

Look on the bright side, we are saving a trillion dollars a year by not being in Afghanistan.

Great ’toon, Mike!

We’re all born penniless and when we die we can’ take a dime with us, but we can leave without paying our bills.

cut the military, tax the rich

and beware hypocrite democrats who want to (did?) uncap SALT

Aw, Mikey. Are we sad the money isn’t going to the billionaire astronauts this time?

I guess you don’t remember the self proclaimed “King of Debt” and his 4 bankruptcies.

Democrat is the President. Debt matters again, right on time.

Ramirez — Still flogging this very tired horse….

The massive debt the republicans under Trump created which we got nothing at all for.

They gave the money to their right wing billionaire friends.

I guess the message of this cartoon is that we should just forget about doing anything about the debt? Too much for us to tackle? Is the best answer to just run away?

Thanks for the insight.

Most of that is from DJT’s huge tax cut for corporations and the rich.

Funny how that mountain of debt occurred on the Last Occupant’s watch and Ramirez didn’t say jack about it.

If republicans were in charge, Rambo-mirez would call that a ski slope andclaim that it is a resort for their donors.

One way to reduce that debt is to raise taxes – and earmark that money to pay existing debt instead of paying for new programs… but we hear few politicians talk like that, because voters only like to complain about the debt but they don’t want to actually pay it down themselves…

He only does this when a Democrat is in office. He never does it for the hyper expensive military budget.

Oh yes, the always pessimistic Ramirez when it is about something his party did not accomplish!

I know I’ve said this before, but have you noticed when there’s a Democrat in the White House (Clinton, Obama, Biden) passing a trillion dollar bill in Congress will “bankrupt America”? But, when there’s a Republican in the White House (Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2, Trump) passing a similar bill in Congress is a good thing because a) it’s good for the economy and b) Jesus will come before the bill is due?

Democrats spend our tax money as if it were theirs.

Let us not forget that Sweet Potato Hitler added 7.8 trillion to the debt in only 4 years.

3/4 of that mountain of debt is defense spending.
