Originally posted by Terraceth View PostIn what way? Yes, the Repoublicans are almost certain to keep the Senate, but the Democrats seem more likely than not to take the House. The Republicans pulling off an upset victory and keeping the House is of course a possibility (then again, so is the Democrats pulling off an upset victory and winning the Senate), but I'm confused where the idea that it seems very likely the Republicans will maintain control of congress is coming from. The most likely result is Democrat control of the House and Republican control of the Senate.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 10-16-2018, 08:04 PM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

The deficits rose precipitously under the bush years. The last time we took in more than we spent was under Bill Clinton. Trump gave us a tax cut, but without a reduction in government spending or sufficient corporate income to increase total tax revenue overall, the impact of that is increasing deficit spending.
These are the simple facts. It's not what I wish was true, but it is what IS true.

I don't fault GW Bush, Obama, or Trump, nor do I give credit to Clinton because all they can do is propose, congress actually spends the money.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThe topic was Trumps tax cut ballooning the deficit, to which was replied a rebuke for 'liberals' lecturing on spending, to which I pointed out the only period where the US has not had a deficit since 1970 came under the most despised (by conservatives) liberal president of them all, Bill Clinton. The Republicans have controlled congress and the senate how many times since then?

Originally posted by Littlejoe View PostYes, I agree, we have to do better making our congress people understand that we won't tolerate deficit spending any longer. You and I both know that the President can only veto a budget plan which puts all the federal workers on furlough. This gets everyone screaming.
