Every president has their excuses as to why they had to spend more than they took in. I agree with you about cutting spending. But my point is that the deficit is not *exclusively* the fault of democratic presidents.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2024 2:01 pmIf I remember right:gil wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2024 4:27 amUSA Today just had an article on this two days ago. It does not appear that democrats have contributed the most to the debt. (If you look at percentage increase, it's been the republicans.)Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2024 2:45 am
All the free handouts and social programs is your idea of handling spending and the economy.
The trillions and trillions we are in debt has mostly been by democrats.

Bush Jr. had Hurricane Katrina to deal with. He also had 911 and a war to fund.
Obama created Obama-Care that was backed by the Chinese and a lot of that was deferred to the future.
Trump had Covid that we paid out billions to the American People to not work. I'm sure you can remember, just take the 4 week break and flatten the curve. Then the democrats got involved and it bled into the Biden Administration for 2-3 years. Shit man, even last year the teachers union wanted shutdowns.
Biden had the Green New Deal that costs TRILLIONS. He really didn't spend anything past that because congress shut him down.
As I said, we need a serious discussion on CUTTING SPENDING not how to spend more.
As for the post SoB made that I have been notified of......fuck off. I try not to read your shit any more.
(Side note: I think the only time since I've been alive that there were not deficits were 2 years in the Clinton administration.)
