For the last 30 years I have only voted for Presidents who reduce the deficit...

    If spending was the solution, we should be running a surplus by now.

    Hmmm.... Interesting... So you're saying tax breaks for the rich is why Republican Presidents keep increasing the deficit... who'd a thunk

    I have not said any such thing.

    However, when Trump reduced the tax rate, the revenue went up the same amount as before.

    I actually quoted a source not from any of those that you mentioned.

    Your claim was easily disproven with facts. Here it is again for your viewing pleasure and you will notice the source at the top. But if you're going to say that the information is fake at least be prepared to prove your claim.

    Happened under Bush II, until Dems took over in 2007. He recorded one of the lowest deficits in the 21st Century - Only Clinton with GOP Congress did better -. Do some research not involving only Dem press releases.

    Very rounded post, I'm shocked to be honest!

    Absolutey, agreed!

    Then again, the U.S. could recoup some of the expense if we would be less generous and sold outdated hardware instead of gifting everything or as I like to call it, Buying friendship and allegiance.. F**k all that nonsense!

    Well true, up to the point we see Russia and China today! Many like to think we are safe from both, but we really aren't..

    The world is a dangerous place, SEE Ukraine, see illegal immigration, see open boarders.. Until we have a clue what's entering this country, the smart players will choose to be armed.. As for the Liberals, they're good at that role, and we need them on that front ;)

    Yup, forum dwellers, "Myself included" have answers to everything and solve absolutely nothing but


    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I see. So Bush is a bad negotiator. He could have asked Biden to help him polish his negotiation skills. Brandon appears to be pretty good at it.... Look at the bipartisan deals HE's getting.

    asking Biden to help with negotiating skills is like asking Osama bin Laden for making a ham sandwich.
