All Americans can celebrate this.
That’s just a natural product of not having a Covid related stimulus bill this year
Nobody wants to touch Social Security and Medicare. Too much time is spent haggling over this or that program getting a few billion dollars when it’s chump change compared to trillions of mandatory spendingC'mon man. You have to be better than this. If you will buy all that crap being spewed then you just show you're irrevocably partisan in spite of reality.

An Update to the Budget and Economic Outlook: 2021 to 2031
Notes Notes Unless this report indicates otherwise, all years referred to when describing the budget outlook are federal fiscal years, which run from October 1 to September 30 and are designated by the calendar year in which they end. Years referred to in describing the economic outlook are...www.cbo.gov
Watch that interest on the debt spiraling out of control in the CBO projections (which try to paint a rosy picture of where we are)
We are going to be CRUSHED by our debt and spending.
That’s a meaningless point when Biden hasn’t even been in office two full years. On the second point yes Obama is largely correct. Republicans will often frame their opposition to Democrat policy as based on spending concerns but will rack up the debt on what they want. Same goes for both parties.Still. The deficit went up in every year of Trump's presidency, and has gone down in each year of Biden's. It's just like Obama said, the pubs are deficit hawks when a dem is president, not so much when their own guy is in there.

True about Trump. False with respect to the other claim outside of exploiting circumstance. Trump was a bad president. It doesn't justify what Democrats are doing now or in the past. It's just horrendous no matter who is in charge. It's unfortunate you don't see this. I guess either you don't have kids or you just don't give a damn about them and what we leave behind. Either way, it sucks!
I do have kids, and they will be fine either way because I am going to leave them a fortune.
And I don't need a lecture from someone who believes climate change isn't real about what we are leaving behind for our kids.
Just like most of what obama said, it is bs. Obviously spending/deficit was up due to covid in 2020/2021. Outside of those years, even though Trump was spending like a drunken sailor as well, his highest deficit of the other three years was still lower than the majority of obama's years in office. I am not excusing Trumps spending, it was defiantly too high. However, pretending he spent more $$$ than obama(outside of the covid year) on avg is just another lie.Still.

Obama would claim that they had to spend to deal with the ramifications of the 08 recession, and the deficit went down significantly over the course of his presidency as the economy stabilized. Trump then ran up the deficit during good economic times. The lowest deficit we’ve had since 2008 was in 2015. The second lowest was 2014. I’m not saying that the first term Obama era spending was necessarily justified either, just that it’s not a like to like comparison to compare the spending then with Trump’s spending.Just like most of what obama said, it is bs.

If you want to go back and compare obama to bush, obama spent about 4x more/yr than Bush. So again, obama is a liar based on his own presidency. Why people believe him is beyond me- stupidity knows no bounds.
Obama claims a lot of things, which were mostly bs. Obama's lowest deficit year was more than bush's highest deficit year. Again, I think Trump spent $$$ like a drunken sailor and was the thing I liked least from a policy perspective. I am not defending his spending, it was ridiculous. Also, as you pointed out, you can't justify a whole term of spending on the recession. Even the last year of his first term was higher than any of Trumps three non pandemic years.Obama would claim that they had to spend to deal with the ramifications of the 08 recession, and the deficit went down significantly over the course of his presidency as the economy stabilized.

You must have me mistaken with someone else. I am 100% certain that climate change is real. For me it's more about degrees and overinflated scare tactics. But it is absolutely real.
Obama spent a lot to get us out of the great recession - that started under Bush. The deficit was much lower in Obama's second term, reduced each year. Then Trump, who ran on a promise to eliminate the debt, actually raised the deficit each year he was in office. Why people believe Trump is beyond me- stupidity knows no bounds.

If you vote for people who deny climate change is real, how is that helping our children?
Believing either one is stupid. Believing that a president starts a recession in most cases is stupid. Unless of course you have a president spending like this one does which is going to ultimately get us into one. I know you're smarter than this so I can't really come up with a good reason why you put up the things you do. In either case all I can think to do is say bless your heart.
If you vote for people thinking they are fighting climate change how is that helping our children? Because they aren't fighting anything. Just like BLM, the whole climate change thing is an enormous Ponzi scheme. When you want to get serious about it though I'll be there. Here's a hint, stop thinking it's a political stance and start looking at it differently. When the end goal is gaining power over others, that's usually political.
Fiscally, Trump was as close to a democrat as a conservative. Again, I am not defending Trumps spending, it was ridiculous. However, obama's ( and likely his quote) term(s) was before Trump even took office so what Trump did was not material to the validity of obama's statement. Again, Obama's lowest deficit year in eight years was higher than the ANY of the previous eight years under bush.Obama spent a lot to get us out of the great recession - that started under Bush. The deficit was much lower in Obama's second term, reduced each year. Then Trump, who ran on a promise to eliminate the debt, actually raised the deficit each year he was in office.

If people like you hadn't massively overplayed your hand on doomsday climate change you could have eventually won over some of the right. CC is real. As of now you'll never convince those people that Algore told they had 10 years to live 20 years ago.I do have kids, and they will be fine either way because I am going to leave them a fortune.
And I don't need a lecture from someone who believes climate change isn't real about what we are leaving behind for our kids.
so, you're winning by sticking it to al gore at the cost of the planet you're leaving your kids? really owning him. nice work.If people like you hadn't massively overplayed your hand on doomsday climate change you could have eventually won over some of the right.

The Obamas better enjoy that beach house now, because his kids will have to snorkel through it.I do have kids, and they will be fine either way because I am going to leave them a fortune.

Giving you credit for supporting your cause comrade.All Americans can celebrate this.
Wonder if this is part of the $1.5T in savings??All Americans can celebrate this.
The Obamas better enjoy that beach house now, because his kids will have to snorkel through it.
The funniest part of it all, is libs like yourself acting as if the climate hasn’t been changing since the beginning of time.Ahhhhhh, so you are like @jakefest on this issue. "Climate change isnt real because Obama bought a beach house." You fail to mention that Obama's house is a cliffside property, well above expected rises in sea level.
It is amazing how easily you rubes can be fooled.
The funniest part of it all, is libs like yourself acting as if the climate hasn’t been changing since the beginning of time.
Your dramatics ruined your chance to garner open ears.
Don’t be a drama queen.
Simply anti-drama.Why are you so anti-science? Did a scientist beat you up in high school or bang your girl or something?
Simmer down, friend.so you disregard the science now because al gore was overly dramatic 20 years ago?
party of grown-ups indeed
We both know that which I’m referring to. No need in further explaining, as I can see you’re set in your beliefs.oh okay it's conspiracy theory time
gotcha
