How can the deficit be growing? It is already about as high as it can be. Last year under Biden it was a whopping $2.8 TRILLION. Let me repeat: the deficit last year under Biden was a whopping $2.8 trillion. That is the second highest in the history of the US by far. Under Trump, excluding the Covid year, the deficit never topped $1 trillion. So the Biden deficit was triple what it was for Trump for non-Covid years.

re: agip

Another example of Republican wealth destruction. You think maybe this is the sort of thing that has caused every recession in the last 40 years to happen under a Republican president?

Yes, this is the sort of thing that causes US recessions. How would you like to be a US business that lost millions because of a 'conservative' publicity stunt?

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's short-lived policy of requiring state troopers to conduct secondary inspections of trucks crossing into Texas from Mexico cost the United States almost $9 billion in just 10 days, Axios reported Tuesday.
The policy, which Abbott enacted on April 6, snarled truck traffic at the border and led to a protest by Mexican truckers that stopped trade at some major crossings. On April 15, Abbott ended the double inspections, for which he'd received withering criticism from both sides of the border and the aisle, after striking deals with the governors of the four Mexican states that border Texas.

re: agip

do we really want utterly spineless nabobs running the US government? Apparently. GOP leaders initially condemned trump until they realized 'law and order conservatives' actually were in favor of riots, beating cops, insurrection, sedition, overthrowing democracy.... and trespassing.

In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol building, the two top Republicans in Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy and Senator Mitch McConnell, told associates they believed President Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot and vowed to drive him from politics. Mr. McCarthy went so far as to say he would push Mr. Trump to resign immediately: “I’ve had it with this guy,” he told a group of Republican leaders.
But within weeks both men backed off an all-out fight with Mr. Trump because they feared retribution from him and his political movement.

Why would you compare a Trump non-covid year deficit to a Biden covid year deficit?

re: Sally Vixxxxxxxxens

McCarthy is a major supporter of the big lie.

(McCarthy)planned to call Mr. Trump and tell him it was time for him to go.
“What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it,” he told the group.
Mr. McCarthy said he would tell Mr. Trump of the impeachment resolution: “I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign.”
He acknowledged it was unlikely Mr. Trump would follow that suggestion.

Fetanyl is the leading cause of death in Americans between 18 and 49. Why are you willing to mask toddlers by force to combat a disease science shows doesn't affect them and they do not spread but not secure the border? Why are you willing to shut down the entire US economy for 2 years but not secure the border?

You're a MONSTER.

Reminder that he's senile.

He's almost catatonic, stares into space at a loss for words and confused out of his mind while his staff shrieks shrill screams at reporters asking them to leave immediately lest the severity of his condition be revealed on camera.

The deficit is already over $500 billion in 2022. We're not even half way through yet and Biden didn't even get half the spending he wanted....

Trump was very disappointing on spending. Biden makes him look like Rand Paul.

Biden and the radical left were pushing hard for the Build Back America bill. It was originally slated to cost $5 trillion. Fortunately Manchin shut it down. Imagine what $5 trillion would have done to the deficit.

Imagine what it would have done to inflation which is already out of control.

Fact check: How do fentanyl overdoses compare to deaths from COVID-19, other causes?

WRAL

In the year ending in April 2021, there were 21,335 deaths from the coronavirus in this age group, along with 22,442 from automobile accidents, 17,114 from cancer, and 21,678 from suicide. That adds up to 82,569 deaths, or more than twice the 40,010 deaths from fentanyl overdoses that year.

Lol. Agip is paranoid a recession might happen under a Democrat president, and is scrambling to find a way to blame Republicans. This is the best he can come up with. 🍿

Yeah man. A global recession might happen because of drug inspections on the Texas border. Won't have anything to do with the business cycle, interest rates, the pandemic, the backups at the west coast ports, the war in Ukraine ... definitely the Texas governor's fault

I meant that is the SORT of thing that Rs do that causes recessions. the sort of bad economic idea meant to rally the base but is just stupid. Like ending the iran deal and taking millions of barrels of oil off the global market. Like starting trade wars. Like ending the child tax credit. etc.

You have no idea what causes recessions...

The Iran deal was a disaster.

We don't need a drop of Iranian oil.

Trade wars serve a purpose.

If you want the child tax credit extended put it in a stand alone bill instead of hiding it in a leftist wish list monstrosity bill like Build Back Better. It is gross how you lefties surround important things with trillions in pure pork and then lie about why the things get voted down.

Okay. What SIMILAR R policies caused the previous recessions?

Ending the Iran deal didn't cause a recession. Reducing the child tax credit (which they created, and increased) didn't cause a recession. Starting a "trade war" (which Biden fully supported, and has since done almost nothing to end) didn't cause a recession.
