What worries you more, some so called socialist programs or authoritarian rule?

The Scandavian countries have far more expansive social programs than we do and they sit higher on the freedom index.

And a common culture with common responsibilities and attitudes is the reason for that. Since the large influx of Muslims many of these social programs have had to be altered or abandoned.

Donald Trump holds the record for the largest addition to the National Debt during a single term of office. He promised to eliminate the national debt over 8 years. Instead, he has increased the national debt every single year of his presidency.

Do you give Congress any responsibility for this?

Support your opinions with links to relevant facts. As of now, they bear an uncanny resemblance to discredited, right wing talking points.

If you dropped the left wing/right wing cliches and searched for the facts instead, you'd probably understand the issues a great deal more than you do now.

I used to a caregiver in a home for the mentally disabled, which included senile elderly.

You obviously have no clue as to what is, and what is not, senility. Elderly who are senile need caregivers to help them get through the day, and life in general. There is no way in hell a senile man or woman could run for president.

Biden is as far from what real senility is as Trump is from being a decent, respectable, human being.

Please cite a source for these "many social programs" that have had to be "altered or abandoned".

Ah, social spending isn't as drop in the bucket.

GWB cut revenue which created the lending bubble and great recession that Obama had to dig out of against the Republicans.

With a stitch in time, just a little more spending, his boom would have been bigger.

Trump's tax cut is creating another lending bubble.

So I vote the trillion per year on the credit card should go from rich peoples pockets to the proletariat, but better is to reduce this trillion which Trump's tax cut was not.

You mean like Trump in the 'debate' did? No discussion of policy, nothing about America's future, just insult after insult like a spoiled child.

What has he done, specifically, that is authoritarian?
Click to expand...
Demanding loyalty, suggesting on more than one occasion that he would love to be president for life, insisting that he knows more about everything than anyone else and refusing to listen to those who actually do, dictating to State governors, sending in feds uninvited. The list goes on.

Yes I do.

Do you hold Donald Trump accountable for his failure to deliver on his promises?

The ones that I linked to in my post, naturally. Promises to reduce the budget deficit, trade deficit, and national debt. President Trump took personal responsibility to do all those things. Instead, the budget deficit was higher every year since he took office, trade deficits were higher every year since he took office, and the national debt increased more under his watch than any other Presidential term.

I was replying to Paradoxical's attempt to blame the debt exclusively on the left. The right is at least as much to blame. Over the last 40 years, the deficit has been consistently higher with a Republican in the White House than it has with a Democrat in the White House.

The only thing you listed that is something that he actually "did" was "sending in Feds uninvited." That's not even a little bit authoritarian. That's his responsibility.

The "debate" was a train wreck, just as it was meant to be.
