*** Official GOP suddenly cares about the debt/deficits again thread ***

[Will Hunting]

I wasn't whining. It was a statement of fact. Neither party has an answer to deficits. It’s a disease that has been building for 30+ years.

Slick Willy had an answer on deficits, then GWB ruined it.

LOL you mean Newt? Thats some serious revisionist history there Will.

Let's see... debt ceiling raised by the previous administration, including while it controlled Congress: once... no wait, twice!....

wait, hold on there... three times!

Not a word about debt or deficits then... or putting the US in the brink of a default (which largely will with middle class America, of course, after the inevitable credit rating drop and market panic).

First of all, it takes two to tango. Second, the boom was largely thanks to the dotcom bubble, which Newt had nothing to do with. Talk about "serious revisionist history"...

Oh, so it wasn't Clinton? Thanks for playing.

Not to mention the tax increase that Clinton rammed through before the GOP took control of congress is what made the budget surplus possible.

The GOP’s dogma that you can tax cut your way to a budget surplus isn’t based in reality.

You said

"there isn't a damn thing the house can effectively do at this point with the senate and presidency in democratic hands"

as if the republicans have ever done but explode the deficit when in power. You don't give a about the deficit and never have.

Sam Brownback’s Kansas is more or less what the entire country would look like if the HFC had full control to implement its economic agenda

I said nothing would happen with gridlock. And it wont. Quit trying to twist my words.

CC pretending that his first post ITT wasn’t making the obvious implication that the GOP would do something about the national debt if not for the big evil socialist DEMOGANTS standing in their way

I personally put it on Alan Greenspan, tbh

So then Reagan, he’s the one who put that greedy in charge of the federal reserve.

Also, btw..

But Reagan hated big government

Are you so stupid you think its just one side blowing up the deficit? "Inflation reduction act" ring a bell?

Read my words instead of trying to find "implications" that aren't there.

LOL I remember when you used to act like the teabaggers gave a about the deficit

we said it wasn't happening in the years before you abandoned your hyperinflation is days away thread.

I liked how he downsized the military but his cuts to arts and sciences not so much. His work in the Balkans was a cluster . His partnering with Gramm for the Contract for America is probably the single biggest act that has led to the police state we are now in. They couldn't even get an Obamacare with a better Congress his first term. He was made to look like a fool in the middle east.

But hey the internet became an economic en y under his watch after being developed in the 70s and 80s with funding he cut.

You are the one that twisted it into "hyper" inflation.

Still pulling the same .

Exactly. We used to be on the technological and scientific vanguard. Then Bill Clinton. The higgs discovery and the rest would have happened a decade ago. Fusion power would likely be being built already as opposed to just now energy efficient. Not to mention all the that comes out of nowhere with state run R&D. Even the current pharmaceutical market with their jacking up costs and using R&D costs as an excuse is a symptom.

Clinton ing sucked.
