The republicans have accounted for more of the national debt than the democrats have. The republicans just talk fiscal responsibility then give away the farm..

Wake TF up and learn the facts. Ignorance and incompetence has completely destroyed the conservative movement in the United States. You're probably too stupid to know why Putin is your enemy, therefore Trump his ass kisser is probably one of your hero's because conservatives are idiots.

You bankrupt the country by keeping taxes too low and not collecting on wealthy tax cheats.

Winston S. Churchill

25% of the total national debt was created under donald trump. You have no idea how government or business funding works.

@glennlab 25% of the total national debt was created under a Democratic Congress. Congress controls the purse strings.

@BD66 7 trillion of it was created the first 2 years he was in office republican control both houses and the white house, nice try of avoiding responsibility.

@glennlab It was created in 2020 as a stimulus to the covid-19 lockdowns. You aren't stupid enough to believe that. You should be ashamed to make a post that dishonest.

@BD66 The 7 trillion was a result of the tax change in 2017. It didn't show up until later, but I know that you can only read graphs and not real material.

@glennlab The tax change in 2017 went into effect in 2018.

Surely you remember this:

The Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) was created on April 9, 2020, to bolster a key component of the massive $2 trillion stimulus bill passed in March 2020.

Then all the follow up programs where Uncle Sam paid us all to sit at home and do nothing.

@BD66 The first one was 7 trillion, 7 trillion out of 31 trillion in one bill under the republicans house, senate and pres..

@glennlab

On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law the so-called Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), a $1.9 trillion tax bill favoring corporations and wealthy Americans.

@BD66 I may have underestimated it based on the CBO figures provided to Senator Stabinow

@glennlab

Trump and a Republican Congress (pre-Covid) $2T.
Trump and a Democratic Congress (Covid) $7T.

Congress held the purse strings, so blaming Trump is ridiculous.

@BD66 Most of that 7 trillion was the result of the 2017 law or did you fail to read the article.

@glennlab I could not read the article without subscribing to the New York Times.

@BD66 try it now [nytimes.com]

@BD66 The wisdom of a wartime prime minister that got tossed out on his ear at war's end. Bitch about taxes all you want, there is no escape. Anything we need that is not immediately profitable essentially has to be paid for by taxes; capitalist investment won't touch it, so it falls to the public sphere. Ignoring that simple fact has caused no end of misery. Don't take my word for it, look at Scandinavia for a start.
