Bob Gorrell for May 30, 2023

The scissors still work, sort of. We need serious cut in government spending and a reduction in taxes. Biden and the Democrats promise only more government spending and a budget out of whack. In the debt ceiling debate Biden caved and the people wom.

I guess he’s angry that the Thugs aren’t cutting enough to meet their promises to damage vets, the elderly etc.

Is Gorrell actually surprised?

Can anyone be that stupid?

.

Republicans never cut spending. Never.

How much money is sent overseas?

Completely broken

Republicans recognize that there is such a thing as reality?

If the Republicans got less than they were seeking it’s because they have the slimmest majority possible in one house of Congress. And they only have THAT because of unfair Gerrymandering.

Look at history since 1981: Republicans cut taxes and increase spending; Democrats increase taxes and increase spending (or, more accurately, restore Republican cuts). Deficit grows very large when Republicans in office, deficit growth flattens out or goes down when Democrats in office. Google it.

How about a “GOP Tax Cutter” ’toon?

“Laffer Curve” and “Reality” are the blades. Both embedded in the back of wage earners.

It galls me to see that they took monies from the IRS budget. The tax cheats must be delirious with joy.

If any of them were serious about cutting the budget they would cut the most unashamedly wasteful budget item of all, the Military!

Gorrell is feeding the myth beast again. Politicians “promise” to fight for us, NOT absolutely deliver a product. Our government system has opposition built into it and minority party members have powers that can stymie all promises. He is unfairly criticizing the people he helped elect. People have to realize they may not get everything they want.

The Billionaire Protection Caucus cut the best deal they could. Poor people suffer and the billionaires got rid of some of the IRS package. It’s win, win I guess for the GOP?

Crazy republican insurrectionists are out of touch with reality.

The only reduced spending republicans push hard are the taxes on those that support them.

The GOP never cuts spending when they are in power. They only cut oversight of their spending.

Republicans NEVER cut spending, Bob. It’s just a SLOGAN. To FOOL you.

I don’t think the discipline exists to get rid of the deficit right now. Instead of blaming each other for that, lets own the truth. I think start with a goal of zero growth to the deficit for a couple years. It seems more realistic, and it could be the proof of concept for something more ambitious, like actually reducing the deficit. Eliminating the deficit will be a huge sacrifice in both spending and increased taxes. It’s too much to do all at once. I have heard a saying that when the roast is too big to eat, cut it into smaller pieces. I think the deficit is big problem the never gets solved because people set unrealistic goals of trying to solve too big a piece all at once. Let’s cut it up into smaller pieces that we can handle. Of course, politicians will never do that….let the finger pointing continue!!!

The debt ceiling has nothing to do with spending.
