Phil1111 896 #4 April 5, 2018 Criticizing the president about the national debt isn't a winning strategy. Campaigning on what he spent it on could be. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-knows-what-too-many-democrats-don-t-voters-don-ncna858496 President Trump has led the Republican Party in surprising directions – away from a balanced federal budget being only the latest. A recent poll indicates that's not a concern to most voters. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2018/0212/Why-GOP-is-largely-silent-over-Trump-s-deficit-heavy-budget The tea party is over.

I miss the days when the most outrageous thing going on was a bunch of overweight white people angry about socialism. Who would have thought all those patriots are now defending Russian propaganda and think the FBI is their number one enemy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,611 #12 April 6, 2018 JustincblountThe democrats also went along with Trump's budget and military increase, so it's kind of disingenuous to call it the GOP's tax cuts for the wealthy. Well, exactly WHERE did the bulk of the tax cuts go? Certainly not to the folks on minimum wage. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, Senate Budget Committee, the 0.3% of the people making over $1 MILLION/year get 21.6% of the benefits. So explain to us how this does not constitute tax cuts for the wealthy.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
