There must be massive cuts in spending at some point. This ^^^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name a time a Rep President shut down the govt over not getting enough total spending? I'm not talking about a one time item like the border wall.

Pres. shuts down the Gov. for more spending, and Rep. shut down for less spending when a Dem. was Pres. and no Rep. really says shit. Republicans only worry about spending when there is a Dem. Pres. The Dems. always want to spend more period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump just did for more spending. I guess you can't read, I said Dems. always want more spending, so it would follow that no rep. could shut down the gov. for something that never happened.

My bad on the second one but the only reason Trump did was for border wall spending. Total spending he was unhappy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total spending he was unhappy with. Yes the wall Mexico was going to pay for. Lets face it if Trump was serious, he woudn't have agreed to the spending. I'm sure he knows full well cutting spending will bring down GDP even more, he is a long way from the 4.4 GDP needed to cover the tax cuts.

Didn't you know if you ramp up spending the budget will magically balance itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
