Just another liberal hypocrite

Ain't it amazing how Democrats are suddenly concerned about deficits, taxes, spending, and a bunch of white folks who died in a church shooting?...

Sorry e....but I was concerned about deficits and debt back when we started a war we couldn't afford AND got a tax cut to boot. WE also got a tax cut in 2001 but then went into a war - I thought they might rescind that cut, but they didn't. But for 8 years, that growing debt didn't seem to bother my conservative friends. Indeed...Darth Cheney said "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter". So I wondered why it started mattering with them when a black democrat became president. But....we are making America Grate again.....and to address that debt issue, they are gonna raise it by 1.5 trillion. But once again....it doesn't seem to be an issue with my conservative friends.

We are all one lone voice. To say otherwise is to imply you have given yours up and allow others to speak for you.

If you want to point out Republican hypocrisy feel free to start your own thread. You can start with Mary Fallin.

Maybe I would not have such an issue with leftist if they had not spent the last few decades attacking American ideals and culture. Which is what Obama was saying when he stated he wanted to fundamentally change the United States.

"Maybe I would not have such an issue with leftist if they had not spent the last few decades attacking American ideals and culture." Exactly, not to mention the "liberal" insanity inherent in worshipping all things government of late to a degree that must have even George Orwell doing gymnastic routines in his grave. I often find myself longing for the actual liberals of old, even the "hippie" movement who at least had the good sense to offer "Question Authority" and perhaps even "Never trust anyone over thirty"... Decades ago I could never have even begun to imagine youngsters becoming such eagerly compliant, totally programmed utter idiots as those nowadays produced by laughably supposed "universities." I don't personally care at all whom anyone chooses to find love with, nor what they wish to ingest into their own bodies, but I DO have issues with mindless, moronic drones that seek to disarm and render helpless the population of the USA, and otherwise insanely strive to force their purely Fantasyland/socialist concepts onto all of us who actually understand human nature, history/etc and fully know better. What's been completely "forgotten" of late is that the whole essential point of America was/is the Rights of the individual, personal Freedom and all that sort of "old stuff." I've no doubt our Founding Fathers would, given the chance cheerfully and properly hang the bulk of today's paid-for-souless-whores/meat-puppets in DC for Treason asap.

Oh! I've callously overlooked the both dire and immediate "threat" of "Global Warming"/"Climate Change"/whatever bs term's currently in fashion for such. Permit me to properly address that: "And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet"

Especially given that their last "messiah" obama racked up more debt than ALL of the combined presidents managed to do since America's inception, which strangely didn't seem to bother any of their "liberal" herd at all. While I'm hardly any devotee of the GOP (see listings only under the slightly lesser of two obvious evils), well...I can't honestly imagine even Forrest Gump becoming a "liberal democrat" anymore without first undergoing some additonal pre-frontal lobotomy procedure. "Islam is a relgion of peace"...There are at least a dozen/thousand/zillion genders one can simply "self-identify" with and thus instantly "be"...Countless millions of immigrants/"refugees" is a "good thing" because...well, we really don't know why nor can point to even a single possible benefit but it is a popular notion so it must be true....Right? Oh, and handing "Death to America!" Iran countless billions to develop nuclear weapons to quite possibly kill us with in time was nothing short of sheer genius liberals!

Total BS. Not so much as even one single word was EVER typed by you regarding your newly (and apparently magically) found concern with deficits during obama's tenure. Exactly what posting can you now site from "back when" to substantiate your preposterous posturing?

 

[eolesen]

Huh. I agree that a possible $1.4T in deficits over 10 years isn't ideal, but that's nothing compared to the just under $10T we saw during Obama's reign.

But, there's also the possibility that if economic growth increases beyond the tepid estimates the CBO used, deficits might actually shrink.

That conservative bastion CNBC estimated that 70% of Americans have $10K or less in savings, which implies to me that 70% will likely be spending the money the government isn't stealing from them come February.

And that will translate into growth, which will help translate into higher tax revenue, and thus, lower deficits...

Do you want to know why? Because republicans didn't seem to give a rats ass about the debt from 2001-2008. We got a tax cut in early 2001. We got attacked in late 2001 and went to war. I kind of figured that the tax cuts would be rescinded to help pay for the war effort. Fine. Then we START a war in Iraq in 2003. We already couldn't afford one war, but now we are going to start another. And I asked how we were going to pay for it. Merely asking that question made me a terrorist supporting America hater. Then we got ANOTHER tax cut in 2005 when the debt was rising because of 2 wars we couldn't afford. It fell on deaf conservative ears. And besides, Darth said "Reagan proved deficits don't matter". So I figured you all didn't care about the debt.

Then a black democrat got elected and I swear to God you all must have thought the debt and the ongoing war costs were wiped away and reset to zero. Not a one of you seemed to acknowledge that the debt had to start somewhere...it was ALL Obama. And after 8 years of asking about the debt, I figured why bother worrying about it anymore.

Yeah....it's only 100 billion a year in increased debt. Of course, the interest on the debt is $300 billion per year. And you know...that interest was added to Obama's debt...it's only fair to add it to the dear leaders.

See listings under "cute" and "nice try"...but you can't seem to offer ANY actual explanation as to how and why your beloved "black democrat" managed to magically spend more money in acquired debt than was done in the whole previous history of the USA, including even WWII....? Oh well. No doubt obama truly had America's best interests in mind...Right? Why heck, just look at all these brand new roads/dams/hospitals/schools/etc we now have as a result...? I'll necessarily stick with the notion that even Forrest Gump would need an additonal lobotomy to ever vote democrat these days...not that I'm any huge fan of the bought-and-paid-for pathetic pimples on the GOP side, since neither "side" of the foolishly elected self-serving-swine seems to give even the slightest damn about the nation and people they only laughably and supposedly "represent" anymore.

Well...on top of Obamacare, he would have been called a troop hating terrorist supporter if he would have stopped paying the war costs he inherited. Those kind of added to "the fastest growing deficit ever". Nary a single conservative offered one scintilla of concern as we were "kicking some Iraqi butt" and the debt was rising.

Some of those Obama dollars were spent taking care of "volunteers" who had an arm or a leg blown off by an IED after our "mission was accomplished". But the debt rose under him....no doubt about it. You know...Obama talked about "hope". And the supporters of our dear leader today....the conservatives who are now having their post orgasmic cigarette after passing the tax cut...are supporting in increase of another trillion and a half dollars on the "hope" that it will trickle down into the economy. Don't hold your breath hoping.

BS. What sadly little that's been done for our young heros came from the long-established VA and/or private donations. Show me your supposed facts to the contrary...?

Again: ...but you can't seem to offer ANY actual explanation as to how and why your beloved "black democrat" managed to magically spend more money in acquired debt than was done in the whole previous history of the USA, including even WWII....?

I am saying that yes...Obamacare ran up the debt. But it wasn't all of the debt, and much of that debt was to pay for wars AND the consequences of that war by the long term costs needed to take care of injured servicemen, despite republican attempts to cut VA benefits. Do you recognize that Obama inherited what was THEN a record amount of debt? Or did the debt reset to zero when he took office?
