    Right, because republicans don't care anything about their children and grand children paying for the deficit since Pres. Trump came into office. Nobody cares that there is a recession looming on the horizon.

    You tell me I bet you support them more than the Republicans. What have they done as far as deficit management? Where have they done better than the Republicans?

    They haven't done any worse and they don't run around claiming to want smaller gov't and less bureaucracy and then create more.

    When did the GOP Congress hit $1,400B in the deficit and keep it at $1,000B for the next three?

    When did Bush and Obama first? You are making claims you have not supported? You do understand that the GOP held Congress for 75% each of Bush's and Obama's terms.

    Bluesguy, support your claims.

    They didn't hold the Congress starting January of 2007 and for FY2008 - FY2015. Certainly you aren't claiming they did.

    Support YOUR claim that Republican congresses and Republican budgets hit $1,400B in deficits and kept them over $1,000B for the next three years.

    There’s no point to deficit reduction. We’re just going to borrow and spend until the whole thing collapses. Then there will be chaos and martial law.

    When will this happen? 5 years? 500 years? No one knows. But it will happen.

    The GOP held Congress from 1994 to 2006 and from 2010 til now.

    You must support YOUR claim that Democrats and their majorities are responsible for $1,400B in deficits and kept them over $1,000B without the help of the GOP.

    When you can do that, we can talk.

    But your assertions are only hot air until you support them.

    Is it just me, or are we witnessing all of the democratic faithful in the media all suddenly injecting doom and gloom into the future economic prospects? I mean, these are the same supersquad that all predicted the economy was going to tank in 2016... Why? Because folks vote on their prospects, and liberals just cant tolerate winning for those they want to oppress....
