Couldn't Have Said it Better Myself

The studies I’ve seen say we would need 8-10% GDP growth to close the deficit.

Whoever told you 3% was lying to you.

@Jezcoe

Do what about exploding deficits shows anyone that the theory works?

Need to see sustained 3% GDP growth. Time will tell.

We are likely heading into a downturn and maybe even a recession.

What would you say when that happens?

@ComfortablyNumb

Can you answer the question or not? I’d like to expand the discussion here.

You’ve made an absurd claim and are looking for me to respond within that context. I don’t accept your argument, so there is no question to answer.

Substantiate your claim and we can then proceed.

For President, there were two and only two viable choices.

I think you mean “there were only two people likely to win”.

The fact that other candidates had no chance of winning doesn’t make voting for them non-viable.

@Plasmaball

He did? Could have fooled me…pro business yes…pro reducing spending? No.

Trump doesn’t have the keys to the budget, congress does. Spending comes from them, not from Trump. DEMs love to spend, and they still have a large say when it comes to spending.

Trump’s failure to reign them in doesn’t mean he isn’t a fiscal conservative.

The GOP has had all of the power in the past two years.

They are the ones that got rid of the Paygo rule that the democrats put into place.

This is all on the GOP. Can’t blame the Dems for what is going on now.

At least… can’t blame them if one wants to be honest.

If I am a pro-lifer, fiscal conservative and socially conservative - why in Gods name would I vote for a pro-choice, Keynesian who is socially liberal???

You just described trump.

[Plasmaball]

He jas a veto pen…he can push for certain legislation as well…he isnt a fiscal conservative because he isnt one…neither is the gop. Neither are you

If we have another recession, it is a fair bet we won’t see 3% GDP growth.

Trump is a supply side fiscal conservative. That is a fact.

@peek-a-boo

Trump and the people he has surrounded himself with are Fiscal Conservative Supply siders. Anyone who believes otherwise doesn’t really understand what a Fiscal Conservative is.

Stop focusing on deficits, because that in and of itself has nothing to do with Supply Side or Keynesian Economics.

Then why is the deficit exploding?

One member on this forum, doesn’t equate to many conservative experts.

So as long as a person is pro-life they can raise hell and botch everything else…right? FTR, I’m actually pro-life, but don’t believe something like that should be legislated. Should be between the woman and God.
Supply side??? If that’s the case how is 45 fiscally conservative?

[Plasmaball]

No but the context of his posting over the last decade does…

The debate centers on whether or not Trump is a fiscal conservative. DEM deficit spending habits is irrelevant to that debate.

He is a pro-choice Kenysian. He promised the government would pay for everyone’s insurance. He favors government spending big to stimulate the economy and favors artificially low interest rates.

So it is safe to assume you’ve got nothing else. Because President Trump is not governing as a fiscal conservative. Lol

The GOP doesn’t have 60 votes in the Senate. Stop playing games.
