    Customers of the corporations pay the corporate income tax through higher prices. And higher prices mean less employment. The economic ignorance displayed daily by the left is breathtaking.

    Obama walked away from the Simpson-Bowles recommendations. Ryan objected because the entitlements of Social Security, MediCare, and Medicaid were not addressed. Obama could have championed the recommendations and driven policies based on them. He had no intention of reducing spending and did nothing.

    And of course the tired old accusations of racism are once again trotted out. Disgusting.

    Obama walked away from the Simpson-Bowles recommendations. There were multiple options. Ryan objected because the entitlements of Social Security, MediCare, and Medicaid were not addressed. Obama could have championed the recommendations and driven policies based on them. He had no intention of reducing spending and did nothing.

    And of course the tired old accusations of racism are once again trotted out. Disgusting.

    You're right, it is tiring how racist new republican leaders are. Its all they have and all they use to rile up their base. Nothing like fake caravan hate-mongering to rile up a pipe bomber and mass murdering shooting into a Synagogue.

    Own it...that's what you support...

    They did the tax part but without 60 votes in the Senate no spending cuts are possible. Doesn’t anyone on the left understand how the government works. The removal of Civics from the public education system by the left is obvious on a daily basis.

    Too funny. No need for understanding. Just call everyone who disagrees a racist. And then use that completely stupid and moronic assessment to link every other bad thing that happens to racism. That’s truly shameful and disgusting.

    The predominance of lefties on this forum don’t understand how government works. I’m surprised you haven’t called me a racist in this post. MSNBC will pull your membership card.

    No, I call people who engage in racist violent rhetoric that results in pipe bombings and Synagogue shootings racist. Or people who call themselves "nationalists" as racist code. Or people who sympathize with white nationalists at a nazi rally. Or who vilify and scapegoat minorities at every event they hold. Or who call Mexicans rapists and drug mules. And the people that support a sick inhuman piece of garbage like that are far, far, worse than racist.

    Spare me the fake outrage. Its so lame that your ilk is trying to resort to that now. Projection won't work and its so eye-rollingly ridiculous when you try. Just own what you support....you are what you are.

    I don't need to call you anything...its clear what you support. Believe me, decent Americans and the world are very much waking up to the ideology of the trump cultist...and the inhumane ugliness that it embodies. Macron's speech today was a prime example of exactly that.

    There you go again. The left has nothing but identity politics and accusations of racism, sexism, etc. And then blames all bad things on a dishonest description of what certain terms mean. It is truly disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    And there you go again. The “ideology of the trump cultist” ?? What kind of moronic expression is that. Ridiculous. You should be ashamed of yourself. Meanwhile the Democratic Party has absolutely nothing to offer US citizens. It’s truly amazing that people vote for these lemming clowns.

    They didn’t have the votes to lower the deficit, so instead they increased it lol
    Makes sense!

    It is a fine military. But it's very expensive. I'm suggesting that it might not need to be so expensive.

    It's always funny to see that the Democrats bring the state budget to fruition in their 4 or 8 years, so that then the Republicans can then ruin again, also with gigantic military spending aside other bull**** they do!

    Carter had begun to solve the ruins of Nixon and Ford ...
    Clinton inherited the ruined state budget of Reagan and Bush and got it tidied up until he was then demolished by Bush Jr. ... and no, 9/11 and Afghanistan does not matter, it was the war Bush started in Iraq!
    Obama inherits the chaos and economic crisis caused by the Bush administration and brings the country back on track ...
    And Trump profits from Obama's long-term measures, but sells them as his own success and at the same time he ruins the state budget again!

    Yes, I know ... the Republicans, and especially the Trump fans, will now be upset and disagree with these words, but that does not change the facts!

    Hmm... Let's see.... Mr Obatard racked up 11 T in new debt. When interest rates were about zero. Now the Fed is raising the rates that the US government has to pay on that debt. And suddenly the deficits shoot up. Guess what? That 11T of Obama debt is starting to cost real money, and is starting to make government spend more for servicing that debt than paying for other parts of actual government. This has been projected as the consequence of Obatards spending since he started it. That you might now pay attention? Priceless..

    1.2% from 2007 to 2017 for Non-Farm
    0.7 for Manufacturing

    so yes. Obama had growth in his two terms.
