Entitlement spending does need to be reduced. But so does defense spending and spending in every other area of the government.

I’ve read it’s a 15 foot gator.

Let’s take a break from bashing each other over politics and admire this amazing creature.

So Hof went Tits Up? I‘ll show myself out.

Right but they didn’t convince the people that it was a necessary cut.

I understand where the money comes from with tax receipts. The GOP also did a really shitty job selling the tax cuts as absolutely necessary.

A huge portion of the cuts came from the personal side though. They didn’t need to cut individual rates that much.

Does he get a vote though?

See my FIFY above

I agree. But who’s in control of the House and Senate right now? They could’ve easily said “you know what maybe tax cuts during an economic boom isn’t a good thing. Also, maybe we should cut some of that spending while we’re at it”.

FIFY

Yes I’m serious. They spent 8 years complaining about it under Obama then when they control all 3 parts of the Government there’s not a word about it and they’re acting like it’s not a problem. It’s only a problem when a Democrat is in office. We shouldn’t be running huge deficits during times of economic expansion. It’s terrible fiscal policy.

If/When the Dems take control of the government (it will happen again because that’s the flow of things) I don’t want to hear a peep from the GOP about how the Dem spending is driving deficits and blah blah blah. Not after running up trillion dollar deficits during a time of economic boom. Phucking Hypocrites. https://www.npr.org/2018/10/16/657790901/federal-deficit-jumps-17-percent-as-tax-cuts-eat-into-government-revenue

You got me there.

Yeah I saw it and it is absolutely relatable.
