    Default How the hell are we going to pay back 20 trillion?



    Trump doesn't seem to be fixing this. He owns the national debt.
    Didn't he say he was going to grow out of it? "Eliminate it" Trump is slated to add 9 trillion to it this term.

    Yes, he's going to nearly increase it by half.

    You’re a Democrat, aren’t you on the MMT train? Deficits and debt don’t matter...

    Never heard of it. Why don't you want to talk about Trump's promise to eliminate the 20 trillion debt and build a gold wall
    with diamond studs that Mexico will pay for.

    Link us up to where Trump promised to erase $20 trillion in debt and a "gold wall with diamond studs" there sweet cheeks.

    Absurdity; the last refuge for liars, fools and ignorance. Yay you!

    Wrong, that is a direct quote from Cheney and you are now officially a partisan prick. I still like you though.

    Cap, that was nice way of putting your dislike for the political leanings of the other side. Nice.

    Oddly, that is exactly what Cheney said to Bush as he was pushing his second tax cut. He said "Reagan proved the debt does not matter'.
    It is Republican policy. Crank up the debt and then they think you can justify ending all programs that help the poor or middle class. That is the goal. The debt is just a way to get there.

    Truth. That's exactly how they rationalized deficit spending, grow out of it, drop taxes of the wealth creators and
    all boats get trickled up somehow.

    Again, read up on what some of the leaders of your party supports. It’s hard to lecture others when you actively argue deficits and debt don’t matter because we control the printing press

    Tax Cuts create deficits which fuels debt growth.

    It's what happened when you cut taxes in 2001 and turned a record surplus into four record deficits including the largest deficit of all time.
