    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 responsibility 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

          You should probably go back and check your facts. I don’t see anything about a proposed 4.5 billion progressive tax cut.

              You also missed that the bill was extending tax cuts, and finally the cuts being progressive, though I suspect you don’t know what progressive tax cuts are.

                I meant progressive in a sarcastic way, implying these cuts won’t impact the middle and lower classes but only the wealthy one.

                An extension towards fiscal responsibility!!! And beyond!!! /s (do you need the /s to understand I’m still being sarcastic with these final lines??)

                    No, I want to shit on fascists masking as centrists because they don’t have the balls to admit they are fascists like you.

                    Get shit on!

        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

              You claimed the numbers I provided don’t look accurate and more granular numbers will prove your point but don’t provide any. Seems like you’re saying the numbers must be wrong but can’t provide any data to back that claim. That almost sounds like you have no data and are going off your preconceived notions.
