Border spending

 

[AquaCityBoy]

They're not gonna cut the fukking military spending (even though they should). They want cuts to social security and medicare.

That is a non-starter for any serious negotiation.

ah, yes. there are only 3 areas we could cut spending

Border spending

what border spending the border is a fukking underfunded, open embarrassment. that's why those "poor kids had to be in cages", right?

Name five areas where spending can be cut that would realistically have bipartisan support in this congress. I'll wait.

Democrats are not agreeing to NSF or Community Funding Project cuts. Rand Paul is crying about grants for parks and shyt and you honestly think that's even a conversation starter for Democrats?

And even if every single thing in Rand's PDF got cut, that's still only about two-thirds of what will be spent on Medicare alone. Try again.

what kind of a fukking clown takes issue with the idea that america could cut government spending? we are 32 TRILLION dollars in debt. this is not sustainable

We have a GDP of 23T

32T in debt, mostly because of stupid-ass tax cuts, doesn't mean that we need to come to the table on any of this shyt. There are almost 350 million people in this country and we have no services, but you buy into the "b-b-but, the problem is government spending" shyt. Come on, man.

If the GOP is worried about the debt that we can easily service because we're the UNITED fukkING STATES, we can kill the Trump tax cuts.

imagine pretending that america's debt isn't going to implode on someone's generation of kids

and this post is negated by democrats' apparent fiscal need to harass the poor and middle class over 600 dollar transactions

if the debt doesnt matter, why'd they bother doing that? it certainly goes against their platform. so why?

The gop can start by repealing Trump's tax cuts

Imagine thinking that looking at just debt amounts and not GDP-to-debt ratio is a basis for an argument.

This is some smooth-brain thinking about debt levels, right up there with "why don't we just run the government's budget like I run my household budget."
