Didn't Conservatives staple teabags to their faces because of this very thing?

Does this mean you are concerned about the debt and deficit?

For the fourth time, pointing out Conservative hypocrisy on the deficit and debt doesn't mean I share their fake concerns.

Not sure why you don't understand that statement. Maybe you have brain damage, maybe you just act in bad faith because it's your habit...I don't know, I'm not a psychologist.

 

[LV426]

I hope you're running for president. the world needs your genius and mature temperament.

Kill yourself.

Revenue has been reduced by tax cuts.

2018 saw 2% fewer revenues than 2017.

Last month saw the highest federal monthly deficit of all time.

None of that is possible without the Russia Tax Cut.

Spending had nothing to do with it. It's all because of the tax cuts and the false promises made of the tax cuts.

Not sure why you want to blame anything other than the tax cuts. Seems to me that you just want bothsiderism because otherwise, you'd be forced off the pedestal you've put yourself on by being socialist with blame.

Weak sauce.

Nobody was talking just about this year's deficits or the recent tax cuts. The $22 trillion debt has been accumulating for years and due primarily to increased spending.

 

[LV426]

Where was all this concern about large deficits before Trump took office?

For the fifth time, pointing out Conservative hypocrisy on the deficit and debt doesn't mean I share their bullshit position on either.

For some reason, you think that it does.

Not sure what gave you that idea, other than the bad faith that persists in your behavior here.

 

[Monad Portal]

Kill yourself.

I hope for your own sake that you can pull out of your dark downward spiral. I love you.

 

[LV426]

Now you are yelling and screaming just like the tea bag people.

How so?

Never once did I say that the deficits and debt are going to bankrupt us.

Never once did I say that we're burdening our grandkids with insurmountable debt.

Never once did I say that high federal debt would be bad for the economy.

Never once did I make any of the teabag arguments from ten years ago.

For the sixth time, pointing out Conservative hypocrisy on the deficit and debt doesn't mean I share their fake and phony concerns.

You know that, of course, but because you act almost exclusively in bad faith, you are compelled to make that bullshit argument.

 

[Flash]

Nope.

We had budget surpluses from 1998-2001, then you cut taxes, then we had record deficits including the highest deficit of all time.

Nothing to do with spending there, only tax cuts.

Had you not cut taxes in 2001, the debt could have been paid off by 2010.

You are forgetting the spending cutbacks under Clinton and the 2001 recession which occurred before any tax cuts. Even Clinton admitted he increased taxes too much.

 

[LV426]

Nobody was talking just about this year's deficits or the recent tax cuts.

Of course they weren't because they were responsible for it.

None of you would have even known last month saw the largest monthly deficit ever unless I told you about it.

Conservatives screamed like barnyard animals ten years ago about trillion-dollar deficits, but are silent on those deficits today.

We knew that the tax cut would add at least $1.5T to the federal deficit before the bill was even passed.

No one can believably shrug their shoulders today that the deficit has grown by about 80% since the tax cut was passed.

 

[LV426]

The $22 trillion debt has been accumulating for years and due primarily to increased spending.

I'm old enough to remember Trump saying he would eliminate the debt by cutting taxes.

How'd that work out?

 

[LV426]

You are forgetting the spending cutbacks under Clinton

What spending cutbacks?

Federal budget outlays grew every single year of Clinton's term.

What created the surpluses were the tax increases from 1993.

At the time, Conservatives all said that raising taxes would have the opposite effect.

Were they right or wrong?

 

[LV426]

Even Clinton admitted he increased taxes too much.

When did he admit that?

Clinton said in 1999 that if we didn't change the tax code, we could pay off the debt by 2015:

President Clinton on Monday proposed paying off the national debt by 2015 after issuing a new budget outlook that adds $1 trillion more to the overall budget surplus over the next 15 years.

"If we maintain our fiscal discipline, using the surplus to pay down the debt and using the savings to strengthen Social Security, America will entirely pay off the national debt by 2015," Clinton told reporters on the White House lawn.

Then why the posts in bold about the record deficit? I guess you were applauding the Republicans.

We are all aware that Republicans and Democrats are both big hypocrites when it comes to the deficit and debt or anything political. They will do or say anything to smear the other side because it makes them feel better.

There is a good article in the Atlantic about hyper-partisanship and the areas of the country with the most partisan prejudice.

It states that parents are less likely to get their kids vaccinated when the other party is in power. No doubt those parents think they are making rational choices for their kids rather than blind partisanship.

To show Conservative hypocrisy and the failure of Conservative policy.

Bullshit.

Pointing out Conservative hypocrisy and policy failures doesn't mean we share their fake and phony concerns.

 

[Flash]

When did he admit that?

1995

https://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/19/us/clinton-angers-friend-and-foe-in-tax-remark.html

"President Clinton made an offhand confession on Tuesday night that he had raised taxes "too much" in his first budget in 1993, and the remark drew mockery from Congressional Republicans today. Angry Democrats accused him of repudiating a package they had stuck their necks out to pass without a single Republican vote."

 

[LV426]

They will do or say anything to smear the other side because it makes them feel better.

18 years ago, Conservatives said "surpluses mean we're being overtaxed" and that we had to pass tax cuts because they will grow the economy and create more revenues. So they did, and the result was the erasing of the surpluses and creation of four record deficits in 8 years.

Then 10 years ago, those same Conservatives became enraged by the deficits and debts their policies caused, and stapled teabags to their faces to prove they were being genuine about their deficit and debt peacocking.

15 months ago, after 10 years of stapling teabags to their faces, those same Conservatives passed a tax cut that cost at least $1.5T, that created the largest monthly federal deficit of all time, and has us on track for trillion-dollar deficits beginning this year.

Pointing all of this out doesn't mean I have the same fake and phony concerns Conservatives have flip-flopped on this century.

So you are attempting to employ bothsiderism because you equate pointing out hypocrisy with being hypocritical.

That's why I say you act in bad faith.

 

[Flash]

To show Conservative hypocrisy and the failure of Conservative policy.

It the policy is a failure because it is increasing the deficit and debt that would indicate that those increases are not good policy.

 

[LV426]

There is a good article in the Atlantic about hyper-partisanship and the areas of the country with the most partisan prejudice.

This has nothing to do with Conservatives creating record high deficits after spending the last ten years stapling teabags to their faces because of record high deficits.

 

[Flash]

Bullshit.

Pointing out Conservative hypocrisy and policy failures doesn't mean we share their fake and phony concerns.

So you are not concerned about the debt and deficit? Then why is that a "policy failure?"

 

[LV426]

t states that parents are less likely to get their kids vaccinated when the other party is in power. No doubt those parents think they are making rational choices for their kids rather than blind partisanship.

None of this has to do with Conservatives creating record deficits with their tax cuts, after screaming like barnyard animals for ten years about record deficits caused by their tax cuts.
