You almost had me until you started the partisan diatribe. Apparently the "Objective Voice" isn't quite so objective. No surprise there. Look. this isn't about "party," it's about how much we are willing to convince ourselves that math doesn't matter, just our insistence that our perceived reality can continually defy fundamental economic laws. Two plus two is going to equal four, no matter what we say, what our former president said or what the current president says. And continued borrowing to buy stuff with money that isn't ours so that we become so satiated that we don't want for anything more will put the US and globe in a difficult economic situation. Not to mention, on the way there, we're paying more and more for it. Thanks!!
1. I was commenting on someone else's commentary who himself complained about how Republicans only tend to complain about the economy when certain things happen (in his case, when the poor [or rather the working-class] has disposable income).
2. Was anything I said untrue?
I can be objective about Democrats (presidents) in the modern era and the economy, too. For example: Except for Carter, the U.S. economy seems to always do better under a Democrat president than a Republican. Was I being untruthful there?
Now, before I go further, there are a few resources I think you may want to read to educate yourself:
*Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith (old writing...still very relevant to how national spending works in many respects)
*Money, by Felix Martin (very good read if you truly want to understand how a nation's sovereign currency works)
*How the Money Machine Works (YouTube video), by Ray Dalio (excellent video that explains how our economy truly works)
When Republicans say "deficits don't matter", you understand why when you watch the Ray Dalio video. Whenever I hear folks like you who complain that our government "borrows money to buy stuff", it tells me you really don't understand how our economy works. Moreover, if you really don't want the Treasury borrowing money, you really should get behind Democrat's push to have the rich pay more in taxes so the country can be self-sufficient economically and not put so much of the tax burden - that "multiplier affect" - on the backs of working/middle-class Americans.
Do some research...get back to me when you know better.
