Republicans, Trump Lies and Deceit National Dept Dangerous as GOP Leave Mess to others!

“The hypocrisy is astounding”: this tax bill shows the GOP’s debt concerns were pure fraud

There is a long-running, almost metaphysical, argument about the GOP’s deficit hawkery. One school of thought holds that it has always been pure cynicism. Republicans passed the Bush tax cuts without offsets and paid for neither Medicare Part D nor the Iraq War. When they began decrying the deficit and debt during President Obama’s administration, under this theory, it was nothing but opportunistic political attacks, and it was obvious they would be abandoned as soon as Republicans regained power.

The response many Republicans gave was that the party had lost its way under George W. Bush, but it had recognized its mistakes and rediscovered its fiscally conservative soul. The Tea Party and its relentless campaign of primary challenges was proof the Republican Party had changed, and would stay changed.

Under Trump's watch, national debt tops $21 trillion for first time ever

This time they leave ZERO for Bail Out like Obama had to deal with as the GOP left the country with a huge deficit. War could be on the horizon after Trumps no deal with Iran, that allows them to start building Nukes. The USA has as much military as we did prior to WWII, 1940. Trump and the Republicans are a Danger to the world as Trump pisses of most of are allies and seams to be uniting are enemies like Russia, China and now Mexico. Now that they have Fucked the USA like Paul Ryan they leave the mess for others, that is Very dangerous!

bc the wholeeee fiscal revival will be here next Dem president. They run up a bill...then shame the Country about 'entitlements'(As if), and they get their bill paid for w austerity and talking down to everyone. They do it over and over. It's their go-to gig but when they do it, the Dems just stare at them and never call them out.
