The Insidious Repocon Plan

[Truman62]

For decades, Republicans have proposed the same predictable policies:

1) Pass tax cuts for the wealthy that drives up the federal debt.
2) Declare an emergency over the debt they created, telling us there just isn’t enough money.
3) Push for cuts to Social Security, healthcare, nutrition, and education programs. 

But earlier this month, the Federal Reserve made a historic announcement:

The net worth of Americans has now exceeded $100 trillion Dollars!

This is up by more than $45 trillion since President Obama signed the stimulus package that
triggered our economic recovery.

America’s net worth is now six times larger than our national debt. So there is no emergency
as long as everybody pays their fair share, and no reason to cut critical programs like Social
Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

And yet Repocons will NOT pay their fair share.  NOPE, they make the poor and middle classes
pay MORE than their fair share, and try to figure out ways to make them pay MORE!

Repocons infest all of America, we can now see how heartless, callous and mean they are.

The Blue Wave is coming...  137 days

The ones saying there is a debt emergency are youse, and after youse raised it more than anyone.  LOL

[Truman62]

So says the supporter of the Pres who is pushing our current deficit towards $1 trillion this year!

[chuck_curtis]

So, is there a debt emergency, or that just your usual fluff complaint?

[Truman62]

We're in debt, because Frump is spending like a drunken General and cut revenue at the same time.

The corporations and the rich are cashing in...

And now you want to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security to pay for it all...

Washington has been in debt my entire life and the debt has increased every year since 1970.   There has never been a debt emergency.  It is inevitable that day is coming, however.  There is no stopping it without turning the monetary system on its head, a monetary system that requires continuous debt expansion in order for economic growth to occur.  Eventually, and this is inevitable no matter what party is in power, the point is reached where not enough economic growth can be attained to make the interest payments on the debt and so it can't issue more debt to increase growth because it can't make the payments on the debt it already issued.  Decreasing the debt to avoid the inevitable causes a recession from which an increase in debt is necessary to recover from, so what's the point in decreasing the debt?  As that point is reached, more and more resources must go to the interest payments which necessarily means less and less goes to other expenditures.  The death of the system is contained in its birth.  Fortunately, for us, that day is quite some time down the road.

I guess you were NOT paying attention in 1998, 1999 2000 and 2001?

We had a surplus those years...  Thanks Clinton! 

Of course GWB messed it all up...

[chuck_curtis]

So many dumbarses, so little time.

[Truman62]

So are you claiming that you did NOT lie?

Are you claiming there was no surplus?

Is this one of your Deep State Conspiracies?

If you want to see a dumbass, look in the mirror, Chuck.  LOL

[lakitss]

The only reason there might have been any surplus was Reafgans economy after 8 yrs, It had jack shit to do with Slick Willy.

[D2D]

Davik forgets it was and remains Democrats who have opposed every single Balanced Budget Amendment ever proposed!

Democrats also oppose any attempt to make Social Security viable!

How do you explain the $10,000,000,000,000 increase of the National debt during the 8 years of Mr. Obama, ms/mr davik62?
