A Booming Surplus

A Booming Surplus:

What do you think kids, who will lead us to a booming surplus?

We had it under Clinton, we were on that road with Obama, and now we're on it with Biden, coming out of the pandemic and we're twenty years and thirty-trillion dollars behind.

It's the only thing that works, it's the only thing that matters; go Democrats.

Inb4 the mental gymnastics from our resident righties trying to explain that Democrats are the ones who run up the deficit, when in fact they aren't.

Since I have never seen a surplus from republican control, I’ll have to defer to the democrats.

What they did was very very bad and they did many things very bad, from the standpoint of the prosperity of the American people, it's outrageous and a technical high crime.

All for personal gain and political power, nothing more than a team at a football game, how?

A surplus of what?

 

[Rexedgar]

Moot question! Surplus is so last century. Now the grift has gone into over-drive!. Past politicians would steal a little and leave something for the next guy, today it’s all smash and grab!

All Democrats are financial geniuses, and they are angels also. Democrats care about ALL OF US. They have proven this again and again and again. Anyone who ever votes for a Republican, for any reason, ought to be sent to prison and re-educated.

While your post is clearly hyperbolic, reality shows that republicans outspend democrats, and increase deficits and debt more so than democrats. The last time we had a budget surplus was under a Democrat. The last democratic administration cut the deficit in HALF after the worst recession in 80 years, which was caused by republicans. This reality no doubt makes you uncomfortable because it clashes with your ideology and partisan preconceived beliefs but they are demonstrably incorrect.

And look how they acted and are acting through it, why only Christ could forgive it.

No condition unless I have power?

Why not trust the roulette wheel to deal you fairly?

All you have to do is pay the bills.

Thirty-trillion dollars and counting plus interest.

You should be more subtle if you are going yo go passive aggressive but gulag will be good for you, we will pay higher wages than US prison labor.

Republicans will never allow a surplus; they will just cut taxes more and then justify it by saying "a surplus is an overpayment of taxes."

Democrats will only have a surplus if their presidency coincides with a booming economy (and it helps if they have a divided Congress, so they don't spend it all). It's possible we could be on track for a surplus in the next couple years.

Another one of these threads where democrats pretend like they were responsible for Newt Gingrich’s budget? Lol too cute.

 

[Common Sense 1]

Super funny thread! Government responsible with tax payer money?
Where?

European countries seem pretty responsible but their taxpayer money. Don’t blame the system if you would like to elect incompetent people.

Clinton vetoed the budget and shut down Government and the Republicans had to do the same thing again and again.

That is what gave Newt his Budget.

If you're talking about a budget surplus it will be Democrats and it will happen when they nationalize the banking system, raise tax rates to 100% across the board and confiscate all privately held property. That surplus will last for roughly 5 minutes as after that there will be civil war.

Well the system is to blame. It was altered by judicial tyranny to instill “one person one vote” legislatures used to draw legislative districts to give power to the most responsible citizens then the left wanted districts redrawn to give more power to the least responsible citizens so they could promise them free junk in exchange for votes

The worst part is you actually believe this trash. The banking system is already centrally driven but operates commercially and tax rates are low.

Yes, and another Republican who pretends the tax increases signed by Clinton with zero GOP support had no role at all in the budget deficit coming down. Those GOP morons all predicted the sky would fall because of higher taxes, and all we got was massive growth in federal revenue, and a booming economy.

Everyone knows it was Republicans who forced Clinton and Obama into slowing the growth of spending which allowed deficits to come down. The answer is BOTH (or more likely, neither).

No, Clinton vetoed the Republican Budget and shut down Government, a stunt the GOP likes to repeat for idiotic reasons.

Right now the Conservatism may serve me, I don't know, I will let you know when I think they've screwed up.

I seem to recall Republicans being blamed for the shutdown, but this revisionism is getting old. Everyone knows what really happened. The only balanced budget came from Republican controlling congress with a democrat to oppose. But the real answer is NEITHER.

Clinton's surplus was timing with the Boomers more than anything else. He happened to be standing there when you had an enormous surge of demographics highest earning years combined with the collapse of the USSR and rise of technology driven productivity gains.

Obama never got us anywhere close to a surplus, nor put us anywhere near on a road for it. During his tenure federal spending continued to increase, but more importantly the baseline expenditures expanded enormously. Biden? Seriously? That guy has no idea what is going on and is currently running face forward into a monetary and inflation crisis.

If you seriously wanted to get our budget under control and generate surpluses, then you have to take a hatchet to spending, particularly welfare spending. Good luck.

Only military and health care must come down 50%.

Nothing else is a drop in the bucket.

So how are you going to split 2022?

If you get both Houses Reprobate they'll overturn 2024, but possibly only if Trump is the Candidate.
