Dont worry Republicans are very good at not paying for things that the rest of America wants or needs, just remember that there will be a new election in two years for congress and then we will see just how much the country loves his agenda

Here let me fix that for you:  [THE DEMOCRATS ARE VERY GOOD AT SAYING]  Republicans are very good at not paying for things that the rest of America wants or needs.

I suppose the balanced budgets and the [actual] cuts in gov't spending since the Rs took control of the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014 attest to that, huh?

By the way, can you point to some of those cuts?  And no fair using the video of the Paul Ryan look alike campaign ad from 2012 where he was pushing granny off a cliff.

Facts are stubborn things at times, but man, this partisan game is fun.  I'm glad anyone can play.

Blessings,

Let me ask you this, who made the cuts to the poverty program, who pushs to cut funding for health care, who are the ones making all these pushs to defund so many things?  Fact is that the government is wasteful and if they really want to save big bucks thenm look at where the money is being wasted,  A pointfor you, I gto to a VA facility for health care in the last three years they have had building projects and for the last three years have tore up the parking lot and repaved it.  Part of the problem is that money allocated for building and suh cannot be moved to where it might be needed like more help.  Talk about a boondoggle and this is just one place

Could you please point me to those balanced budgets?  

Of just tell me which of those years did the federal deficit get smaller vice larger, since that is what a balanced budget would do.

interesting......  that's what I heard about the Republican congress and senate two years ago......   and 4 years ago....

When the entire congress gets tired of messing with the Democrats and kicks them out of the way so they can actually get something done.....   well,   yeah, we'll see.    Right now the Demo's are just holding things up to the detriment of the country...

 

I noticed that one committee suspended the rules finally so they could vote on someone....   didn't hear which one because I've been tied up a lot.

You mean like the Republicans did for the last four years, lets talk about obstructionism.  Lets discuss Merrick Garland and a host of other issues that the Republicans blocked or outright refused to vote, to bad they did not suspend the rules then

they were in charge why in the world would they do that...   and I thank God they did not let Merrick Garland have a seat on the court.

Re read my post - I was attempting (and this always ends badly for me) sarcasm.  The point is - there were NO balanced budgets. Yet the republicans are always accused of 'cutting this program' or 'hating' or 'racism' or whatever.

I wish the republicans did cut.  But they don't.  Yet they seem to pay the price in negativity for it.  I just never understood how that worked.

So  I was attempting to chide the poster into getting beyond the kabuki theater of Ds vs. Rs. and look deeper.

Sorry I wan't more clear.  I'll have to go back to using that 'sarcasm' tag, I guess.

Blessings,

I apologize for missing your point, that was my bad.  As I go back and re-read it, it is a bit more clear.

In my opinion the reason the only reason the Repubs pay that price is they are the only party that pretends to be for smaller government.  At least the Dems are honest about wanting to spend our money.  I have always seen the Repubs as the "cut taxs and spend more" party while the Dems were the "raise taxes and spend more" party.

I suggest you quit listening to democrat talking points and do some research.  And no, I am not a republican.  It just disappoints me when someone like yourself - who seems thoughtful - buys into the old D vs. R paradigm that's been around since the days of FDR.

That's how the game is played, Bill.  As President Obama so eloquently stated in 2009, "We won. Elections have consequences." Hillary lost; it's time to move forward.
