We're talking about trillions and trillions in government debt, here. You bringing up the pittance that would be a border wall shows just how far out of your element you are in this conversation, feeble. Move along. Tells us more how one party unapologetically wants to expand the government 😂😂😂😂😂

Can't say I'm surprised that you'd pivot to immigration since you're well aware all of Trump's other proposals are big government tax and spend. Quote Then he can turn his attention to reining in entitlements. Sometimes I wonder if you're a parody account.
October 4, 20233 yr Well, shame on me for trying to hold any sort of conversation with a low-IQ incel troll living in his mama's basement.

You: 17 paragraph post detailing spending policies through the years. Kz: Riot Kitchen! At this point you have to know how it'll go. Much easier to just call him retarded and trash his rapist messiah in the process.

October 4, 20233 yr If you actually wanted to tackle debt and deficits, the first step would be to broaden the tax base. Voting for more and more government largesse is easy and a winning platform when the majority of people pay zero in income taxes (and most actually are getting rebates, credits, etc.). Raising tax rates is rather meaningless given our insane tax code because so few people pay into the system, and only ~10% are net contributors (paying more than they take in). Every Democrat that whines about the rich not paying their fair share points to some European country with higher marginal rates, but they ignore that in those countries everyone pays something. The US has the most progressive income tax system in the developed world when accounting for who actually pays the taxes, even if you adjust for income inequality. If everyone is actually paying into the system, the populace will get more fiscal restraint. Beyond that, you need to deal with entitlements or this isn't a serious discussion. I'd eliminate all of them tomorrow, but that's not happening. So here's what could, maybe, be done: Social Security -- raise the retirement age to the low to mid 70s. Get rid of a lot of the disability payments and focus only on retirement payments. Consider means testing. Medicare -- reduce coverage to more of a basic level and make more expensive treatments private responsibility. Increase the age to the same as SS. Medicaid -- this is one we COULD eliminate, because the senior voting block doesn't care. If not, drastically reduce benefits to the bare minimum. Obamacare -- just end it already
October 4, 20233 yr 1 hour ago, Gannan said: I don't mean to trivialize the debt, but it's not the crises that republicans make it out to be when a democrat occupies the white house (we've established that they couldn't care less about it when we have a republican administration). Less than a quarter of our debt is owned by other countries. The rest is the fed playing god with the world economy (borrowing from ourselves) and domestic creditors. So when I hear republicans wring their hands and cry "It's not sustainable", it actually most certainly is. The entire world economy is based on it. The greater crises is the republicans playing chicken with it, and threatening to default. The debt level is less of a problem for us than anyone else in the world thanks to our status as the reserve currency. There is a natural demand for dollars and treasuries that is built into the entire financial system, so we can always find buyers for our debt. But this is why something like NATO, or Ukraine, is actually important. The post WW2 global structure built upon US dominance benefits us immensely, but it came with responsibilities to promote global stability.

It's hard to even put into words how stupid you have to be to type something like that. But yeah, continue supporting higher federal taxes and voting for democrats so they can create more free gibs on top of the ones we can't afford already. Fing ****. KZ is the dumbest moron poster on the EMB since it's existence. And everyone knows it. His level of stupidty is un-rivaled. That's why he gets owned on the EMB nearly every day. What a waste of sperm. He doesn't have the brain power to run around the inside ring of cheerio. He has more important things to do like go March White Supremacists and tell us Jews will not replace us. That's what he supports. He fits right in with the Uneducated White Male Maga Supporters.

They both won’t be happy until we have the Great Wall of China around the entire country and not allow anyone to come here, unless they’re white of course. And not that dirty Southern Europe white either, only WASPS need apply.

So your argument is that they are 100% the exactly the same on fiscal responsibility with zero differences between the two. I mean, I know you have a childlike brain and you can't stand watching dems be criticized, but no, there are degrees to this, and dems are comparably much worse.
