Comment on Most of Lemmy right now
Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 1 week agoThe budget Deficit has increased under Republicans and decreased under Democrats consistently for decades.
How you can still think Republicans save you money is beyond insane. No child left behind really did a number on the populace.
On both side they’ve failed horribly. I am not a republican, not even American. The main thing I like about DT’s presidency is DOGE. That is a huge game changer. Love everything about it. 👍
First time in years that I think common sense is coming back in the world. 🤷♂️
Not a single iota of common sense exists in this administration. They’re all crooks and conmen. It’s astonishing a nonsensical has fallen for such an obvious grift while not being the target of their propoganda. That takes an extra special kind of gullible

Is like to point out that most of Obama’s increase in budget was pushed through under Bush (because budgets are passed the prior year). And he brought it down from that starting point over his two terms. Trump immediately jacked it back up from what he inherited, and Biden decreased it again.

You can make excuses for every president it’s always the guy before them, but the numbers don’t show a decline in deficit for Democrat presidents.

Oh yeah, the party of fiscal responsability who is now trying to pass a progressive 4,5 billions tax cut for the wealthiest part of society. Who knows when these missing funds for the government will show up in its administrative books???
You must be so wise in the way of the finances, please (not) teach us master

Try Looking at an actual graph that does more than an entire term distilled into one number… Some of those don’t even look accurate. You might learn something
