    Default Let's Run Government On Credit; And Not Collect Enough Taxes - It'll Be Great!

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Debt is just a word, right?

    We're old white men. We don't care. We'll be dead when the bill comes due.

    Besides. We've got you fooled that this economy can last forever like this!

    Enjoy it while you can. We sure are....................

    .

    .

    .

    Oh and btw: We are also killing all regulations. We don't care what they do. They are all alike, and we don't like them because they cost us money. And we can't get enough money.

    So: No more regulations!

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Don't tell us. We don't care.

    More lies from the left, if your lips are moving you are lying. The tax cuts have not added one cent to the debt, revenue is still up. It's the spending stupid. You know, the spending that originates in the House of Representatives? Who controls the House of Representatives?

    Oh, just look the other way!

    Things are great now.

    Who cares about the future?

    Rich old white Republicans don't.

    Uh-oh Poli. You're falling victim to the board where people get so frustrated arguing with each other on a daily basis they revert to semi-trolling. Outside of maybe some anarchists, no one argues for no regulations. It's the ultimate strawman. But God forbid anyone look to roll back any regulations it must mean they want zero regulations right? (and this leaves aside you complain about inequality and lack of opportunity but support regulations that enable it)

    And regarding the debt the number one thing the federal government spends money on is entitlements. You complain about debt but you melt down anytime entitlement reform is mentioned. Now there's nothing wrong with calling out the hypocrisy of Republicans who only care about fiscal conservatism when they don't control the Presidency. But don't pretend you care about debt. Like many Republicans, you don't care about spending unless it's spending done by your 'opposition'.

    Are entitlements a bad thing?

    The people getting them don't think so.

    And neither do the businesses out there in the 'great economy' who are on the receiving end of the spending of those with entitlement money.

    You're talking about debt. The largest outlay of federal money goes to entitlements. If you want to address the debt it's hard to do so without addressing the largest areas of spending which are entitlements and the military.

    Like I said, it's not the debt itself that bothers you rather you don't like when Republicans spend money.

    Don't tell me what I care about. You don't know. You're not me.

    I absolutely care about the debt. I understand why it is important. I may be socially liberal, but I am fiscally conservative. (Just like Bloomberg...)

    We should be taxing the rich more to eliminate the deficit. Don't you recall when I explained the difference between the debt and the deficit to you?

    The economy is great, we can do it. The rich can afford higher taxes. And this is the best time to do it. You can't reduce the deficit during a recession.

    The only reason we are not doing that is because doing the responsible thing will lose potus the votes of the greedy.

    And besides. He's pretty greedy himself. He never wanted to pay any taxes. He thinks it is 'smart' to avoid paying taxes. If everybody was as 'smart' as he is, the USA would be bankrupt.

    Don't tell us. We don't care.
    I agree with your sentiment ... up until you blamed 'old white men'.
