General Political Fúckery Thread - Subplot: Can Democrats Win Back The House In Nov?

[the cac mamba]

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."

why didnt you answer the question

dems say the debt doesnt matter, print as much as you want.... but audit 600 dollar payments? why? why do that?

What question? You said some dumbass shyt, I told you why it was dumb, and I gave you the solution - end the ridiculous Trump tax cuts that have/are adding 4T in debt.

Why are you so hot to cut spending when the answer to cutting the national debt - ending egregious tax cuts that were never politically popular - is right in front of you? Not enough poor people starving for you? Too many national parks for regular-ass people to enjoy?

the trump cuts add 1.9 trillion over 10 years the budget will be 60 trillion over that time. that doesnt cover fukking spending

this is some democrat shilling on levels i havent seen you're really incapable of simply admitting that the bloated monstrosity that is our federal government could cut spending?

and for the 3rd time; if the debt doesnt matter, whyd the democrats go after 600 dollar transactions?

 

[the cac mamba]

i can't imagine the lack of respect for yourself, to be cool with the same people harassing you over their cut of 600 dollars say "there's nowhere we can cut spending"
