Thanks for a talking point, I never stated you could. I'll state it again for you. No conservative President in the last 100 years has shrunk the government or balanced a budget. No tax cut has paid for itself, ever. I 'll add one, ever notice how conservative politicians state how much the government sucks, yet they all keep trying to get jobs for the government and keep coming back.
Has any president in 100 years done what you are yearning for? Why do tax cuts bother you so? I see no issue with cutting entitlement programs in times of prosperity with record unemployment.
Germ you always claim that you are not affiliated with either side and fight to not be labeled yet all your talking points are those putting down the right only. When pressed you may say yes it's both sides but when left to your own devices you always go to the same spot. As for balanced budget no President has.... On either side but Reagan and surprisingly Trump (precovid) worked towards it the most by providing a great economy. We will never balance a budget nor even shrink it. There is too many hand outs for people. It's called Government... They are supposed to be here to govern. Over time power corrupts and complete power corrupts completely. The people in charge will never relinquish the laws that give them the lifestyle they desire. That is on both sides of the fence. One of the reasons I like the orange man is because (even if it's a ploy) he is exposing the swamp (left/right).
Yes, two have had a balancing budget, Clinton and Johnson. Also, Reagan has the 3rd worst deficit, so not sure where you get these magic numbers. The orange man is filling the swamp, sorry for those fell for his sales line. Before this mess, he was going to be the biggest spender with the best economy ever, now we are just screwed, well done Trump voters
Germ the thing you have to reconcile about your hatred of Trump. The only reason Trump is president is that the democrats wanted one of the most despicable democrats that there is to be president. Last I checked Trump has not signed a bill that did not originate in Congress, you know the democrat controlled house the ones that voted themselves a raise with the first virus relief bill. Many people vote for the lesser of two evils.
There were no democrats in the Republican Primary. His deficits numbers are fact, not hate or feelings His unemployment numbers, fact He Trusted China, a fact His dismal handling of this pandemic. The USA is 1/3 of the cases in the world He can't keep his own Whitehouse from Covid-19.
So the unemployment is his fault? The pandemic spread in the US is a cultural thing that no president could prevent, but you keep blaming everything you deem unacceptable on one man. I am going to make you a what would Hilliary do friendship bracelet.
Yes, the response to this pandemic is on the President's that's part of the job, unemployment numbers are his, deficit spending is his.
The deficit has grown larger in part due the pork in the bill that originated in congress, you know the bill that Nancy delayed until she got the pork to go where she wanted it. The president can tell the American people how to respond to the virus but those with blind hatred will do the opposite because orange man bad and every single bad thing in their life is caused by orange man.
The estimate I showed was before the pandemic. keep with the "orange man is bad" line. I just showed the numbers.
