Republican vs Democrat

[DwightShrute]

The major reason for the huge federal debt is Trump’s and George W. Bush’s tax cuts, which together added $10 trillion to the debt since their enactment. They’re responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the ratio of the national debt to the economy since 2001.
Excluding the one-time costs of responding to Covid-19 and the Great Recession, the Bush and Trump tax cuts account for more than 90% of the increase in the debt ratio.
Most of the benefits of those tax cuts, not incidentally, have gone to the rich. 65 percent of the benefits of the Trump tax cuts have gone to the richest fifth of Americans, 22 percent to the top 1 percent.
And as the federal debt has risen, most of the interest payments on it have gone to the rich, too. Wealthy investors park their savings in treasury bonds directly or indirectly in treasury bonds held by mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, banks, insurance companies, personal trusts, and estates.

Decades ago, wealthy Americans financed the federal government mainly by paying taxes. In the 1950s, the top marginal tax rate on the wealthy was above 90 percent. Even including all tax credits and deductions, it was higher than 50 percent.
Since the Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts, though, wealthy Americans have financed the federal government mainly by lending it money and collecting interest payments on those loans -- profiting when the rest of us pay them back.
Which means a growing portion of everyone else’s taxes are now paying the rich interest on those loans instead of paying for government services everyone needs.
So the next time you hear Republicans complain about the federal debt and our swelling interest payments on it, remember that: (1) the debt has grown mainly because of Republican tax cuts, (2) those cuts have mostly benefited the rich, (3) the rich are now the major recipients of interest payments on that debt, (4) and those interest payments are crowding out spending on childcare, elder care, affordable housing, better schools, paid family leave, and everything Americans need.

dude, taxes are not the issue. The Feds take in plenty of money from taxes every year to do what they are supposed to do. Washington has a spending problem! Somehow, with the help of the MSM, they've convinced people that its something else. They are purposely dividing you with bullshit in order to garner support for they failure by blaming the other guys. Its a tactic that seems to work on millions of people. Both sides do it, but the dems are much worse. They are clueless. They think that throwing more money at a problem is the only way to fix it. Almost 35 trillion later, even a moron can see its not working. Will that matter? Not a chance. They are addicted to your money and the power that comes along with it.

California had a 100 Billion surplus a few years ago. Now they are almost 60 billion in the hole just this year. They spend 35 billion on a high speed light rail system that's just sitting there and probably will never get done. And yet, people want Newsom to be president. He might be. I think there's a great chance Biden will be ousted at the democratic convention in August. They will make some excuse about Biden's health and he will step down. No one wants Kamala to be in charge of anything either. The new person will choose their own VP.

2 problems with Jackpot's post: first, those studies don't factor in the stimulus that the tax cuts provide. They're telling us how much revenue we would have without the tax cuts but also assuming the economy would be doing just as well without the cuts.

The second problem is if the politicians did a good job with the tax money we sent them, they wouldn't keep wanting to raise taxes. In America, total government spending per person is over $30,000 a year, and they're saying that's not enough. If they did a good job with the money we sent them, they wouldn't need all these government social programs, debt transference, etc. The push for more spending and taxes is proof of the politicians' failure.

I doubt Biden shows up, but if he does, he will get destroyed again like the last debates, but even worse this time if you just look at the cognitive decline from Biden since 2020. They will have to inject him with even more of what they gave him before his SOTU speech so as not to embarrass himself or shit himself on stage.

[slewfan]

Trump should tell Joe to stick his terms up his kazoo. That if Biden wants to debate, it should be under Trumps terms, not Bidens. Trump has nothing to lose by not having the debate in the first place. Biden's numbers are so bad calling for a debate is just another leftist desperation move.

Biden cannot even have a press conference. How can they think he can answer serious and important questions in a debate. ?

No way TFG is going to debate Biden. It would be another complete disaster for him.

He will find a way to back out of the debates, while blaming “the DNC” or something equally ridiculous.

Biden wrecked him in 2020. He bailed after the 2nd one and is worse now.

So then explain why he's never faced any charges for these incidents (some of which are doctored clips).
I suspect you are just too young to understand how those in Joe's (and my parents') age group would commonly innocently greet people before the advent of rampant political correctness turned people into grubs like you.
