You said "Obama ain't president any more...or did you forget that." Now you qualify it afterward, it figures. Your angry libtard whining about how the Trump government is "going to pay for it" is over the top. You snowflakes never worried about running up the debt during 8 years of Obammy, now your worried? I guess you'll have to wait and see cup cake.
Go stand on the corner yell profanities about Trump, or burn a flag. Its about all you people have.
You are right. Most lefties didn't seem to mind when Obama ran up the debt.....you righties didn't seem to mind running up the debt while fighting two wars....one buy choice...that we couldn't afford. Then Obama got elected, and all I heard for 8 years from YOU guys was - it was running the country into a ditch...it was ruining the country for your grandchildren. So - you voted the lefty liberals out.
So all I am asking is - will the debt still be important to you as it continues to rise - especially if Trumps plans are enacted? You have to remember that rolling back Obamacare will free up some money to build a wall and round up and deport illegals....but that is shifting spending, ,not cutting it. The debt will still exist. Toss in ramping up the military and that means spending will increase - even if Obamacare is repealed and replaced with ....'something great". Wait....I'm pretty sure that "something great" is going to cost some money too., so not ALL the money freed up by repealing Obamacare can shift over to wall building. So he immigration policies will most likely result in more than shifting - they'll be an increase in spending.
NOW...toss in a tax cut, which many have said will "actually increase revenues", but has only resulted in deficits each time it has been done...and there will be an IMMEDIATE reduction in revenues - while old obligations will still need to be paid, and new obligations (wall building, military building) will stay at their same levels. And even if I buy into the Laugher theory and believe that thousands of 'really great jobs' will be created - that won't happen in a year. Or two. Or even 5. So we will have REDUCED revenues for quite some time, but we will have not cut spending (remember shifting isn't cutting) and will have in fact added to the spending.
And let's not forget that ramping up the military does NOT include the costs of "kicking the sh!t" out of ISIS - so there most likely will be some increased spending on the sh!t kicking front. And considering that the president elect has mentioned in passing more than once the possibility of using nukes in this battle - we'll most likely incur some costs of another war...because I'm not so sure that many countries will appreciate us dropping a nuke into a schoolyard, so there will be some additional war spending that we don't currently have.
So the bottom line is that if many of Trump's plans are implemented - the debt will most likely rise FASTER than it did under Obama. Now..I know this is long - but could you answer with a simple yes or no, and try to avoid the tards and snowflakes - given that the debt WILL rise - will it still matter as much to you as it has over the past 8 years?
