2 years and the Biden Admin cut the deficit down by more than half. The GOP House: “we can’t have that!”
anyone remember the Clinton budget surplus? some of us do. no wonder the gqp lost its sh*t over him >

I remember. And I was young too but EVERYONE was talking about it. >

It is possible to have a prosperous country and budget surplus in government but it requires Democrats in charge. >

So it'll never happen in America. >

If we still have a democracy in a few years, younger generations (Millennials and Zoomers) are about to overtake Baby Boomers in voting numbers, are growing more and more politically engaged and increasingly hate conservatism with a passion. >

Saddest part of this is that we’ve had the numbers to at least match boomers at the polls for years, but Millennial turnout just broke 50% a few years ago. >

We're trying. I got my wife to vote for the first time ever, and we just turned 30 >

Lol why is the picture a picture of Kevin McCarthy shaking someone's hand? >

Because it works on a non zero percent of people. >

What does? >

The subtle implication that the brand-new Speaker of the House had something to do with lowering the deficit. >

Why would the times do that? >

Journalism has been dead for awhile now and is mostly just a political dog show now. >

Debt is not the same as deficit >

Not sure I follow your point.  You would agree that deficit spending results in debt, correct?  
Trump's tax cuts to the 1% for their historic stock buyback resulted in the third-biggest deficit increase of any president. >

Yes I would.  But people use debt and deficit interchangeably and they are different calculations >

And what does that have to do with the person you were responding to? >

Because this post is about deficit and they're talking about debt >

Except they're actually talking about debt. Did you even look at their link?
Before Trump the DEBT was at ~20 T. After Trump it was at ~28 T. >

The title of this post is deficit >

The great thing about the comment section of reddit is we get to talk about things not strictly pertaining to the subject of the post >

Dems always lower the deficit, and Republicans always explode it, but stupid brainwashed clowns believe otherwise >

I keep hearing that but haven’t been able to find any sort of breakdown. Does anyone have a resource or like a timeline that shows national debt and who’s in charge of the senate, house, White House, etc? >

The Republicans under W did not let anything stop them from cutting taxes. Not even concurrent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. >

correct. they use "tax and spend democrats" as a pejorative when they are the cut taxes and spend more republicans. one side is responsible the other not so much >

Yep. "Tax and spend" vs. "don't tax and spend more." The hypocrisy drives me insane. >

That can’t be right….I thought that when librul commies always blow up the deficit? >

It’s all good, it’s republicans in the photo like they did a fucking thing about it >

So it looks like the old man, Biden,b and the Democrats know what he is doing.   👏👏👏👏 >

Imagine how much lower if they taxed the rich >

Or if we had the same tax rates that Saint Reagan had. >

and the image is of the new gop congress?? >

Right! >

Why show republicans in m article bout the deficit falling when they had absolutely nothing to do with it? >

Why is there an image of Republicans under the title.  WTF >

Was thinking the same thing
