National Debt by Year Compared to GDP and Major Events

It's estimated that the National Debt is going to be $25 Trillion by 2021 if the current trend continues as it has under President Donald Trump, since he was elected, but for 8 years under Barack Obama the GOP was running around with Torches and Pitchforks about the National Debt and now you hear not a Peep from them.

but hey the bright side is we got so nice shinny military jets and tanks and ships to look at

 

This is a Democrat problem with their increases in "entitlements" and refusal to secure the border which will cost American taxpayers in trillions over the years. Democrats need those illegals to vote though so they are OK with such spending. Once they seize power, illegally or not, then they will strip away freedoms and rights to consolidate power, destroying America or at the very least, starting a civil war.

 

Ahhh! so now it's the Democrats fault, even though we have a Republican President and previously a Republican controlled Congress. Seems like no matter how much power you give the GOP, it's always those pesky Democrats that are responsible when it all goes to Hell

 

You only care because a Republican is in the White House.

 

Funny thing about entitlement spending - the money is spent regardless of available funds, because the law requires it to be spent.

 

Obviously you DON'T care, because a Republican is Just pointing out the Hypocrisy of it all.

 

It's always been the Democrats fault, for the most part. As Republicans work hard to make our country better, liberal and racist Democrats in government work hard to destroy it. They hate the American people and it's why they fight so hard to gather illegal votes and to strip rights away from people, unless you are an illegal.

Spending would be under control if Democrats didn't saddle Americans with so many entitlements. For the most part. Obama was by far the worst and the most corrupt President we have ever seen..... literally flushing $10 trillion down the toilet.

 

Including yours.

 

Hmmm! according to statistics, since WW2, the US economy has done better when a Democrat is in the White House, I guess it's just Fake News, but things sure seem GRAND! right now don't they

I have spoken out against this repeatedly.

Across the boards cuts in all departments by 1% each year for 7 years and the budget will be balanced.

Who is against this? Democrats and Establishment Republicans.

 

I frankly hate idiots on both sides of the aisle that think only their side's **** smells like roses.

 

Sounds like you're saying...Republicans have no power.

Sounds like you want a civil war....Whose going to pay for that? You?

You ready to go kill Americans because you're tired of paying taxes?

 

Oh, look, more delusional hogwash.

Yawn....

 

Fallacy: post hoc ergo propter hoc

 

Just wait when the next recession hits (and it will). We'll see deficits never seen before. I think $2.5 trillion plus per year will be easily achieved. Of course, when that happens the usual suspects will cry about spending again, to balance the budget through austerity on the backs of the unemployed, homeless and the sick. The rich, however, will keep their tax cuts.

 

You hate even more knowing I am right. Frankly, if you some sense of balance in your views, you would understand just how far down the rabbit hole Democrats have gone with spending. For the most part, they have been bankrupting America, much like the big cities they run. It's not a coincidence by any means.

 

This is true; in 2010, The Obama forced the Democrats in congress to extend GWB's tax cuts for the rich.

 

How much did the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost us, and which Administration pushed for them?

 

Mostly Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, voted to fund those wars.

Next time you change the subject, try and change it to something that supports your "opinion".

 

The subject that I brought up is that BOTH parties are to blame for spending increases, so thinking that you "got me" when you point out that Democrats ALSO voted for those wars really is quite a pathetically weak position. And by the way, the votes for the Iraq War were overwhelmingly from the Republican Party. A majority of Democrats in the House voted against the war authorization, and barely a majority in the Senate voted for them. Meanwhile there were like 6 Nays in the House and 1 Nay in the Senate for the Republicans.

So...

I don't think you're as smart as you think you are.

 

I expect this will become an issue shortly after the 2020 elections.
Not a moment before

Just like the “wall” wasn’t a shutdown issue before Democrats took the house.

 

The biggest drivers of national debt are Medicare and Medicaid...will tr Dems finally get on board with reforming these unsubstaibable and costly programs??

 

Obama did well keeping down illegal immigration

 

This is for the authorization of the war.
He said that mostly Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, voted to fund those wars
As you're talking apples to his oranges, and think you made a 'got you' point while doing so, I don't think you're as smart as you think you are
