Lots of Trumpers show read that linked article. But it’s hard and has lots of numbers. Such as:
The federal government spent $1,822,712,000,000 in the first five months of fiscal 2019, the most it has spent in the first five months of any fiscal year since 2009, which was the fiscal year that outgoing President George W. Bush signed a $700-billion law to bailout the banking industry and incoming President Barack Obama signed a $787-billion law to stimulate an economy then in recession.
At the same time that federal spending was hitting this ten-year high, federal tax revenues in the first five months of the fiscal year were hitting a four-year low of $1,278,482,000,000.
After federal spending hit an all-time high of $1,936,268,470,000 (in constant February 2019 dollars) in the first five months of fiscal 2009, it eventually dropped to $1,595,941,280,000 in the first five months of fiscal 2014. That was the lowest level for the first five months of any fiscal year in the last ten.
Federal spending climbed from $1,702,631,750,000 (in constant February 2019 dollars) in the first five months of fiscal 2018 to $1,822,712,000,000 in the first five months of fiscal 2019.
I consider Reagan to be a good president, I owe a lot to his administration but his implementation of supply side and Iran/Contra will forever leave a stain on his legacy.
Think about what trump supporters and trump voters are telling their kids and grand kids. They’re basically telling them that they like 1 or 2 of trump’s policies more than they like their kids and grand kids themselves (and their futures).
This is just sickening. And it is no surprise that not a single Trump supporter is in here trying to defend this. It is indefensible. And the reality is that they don’t care. So many people have been exposed in the Age of Idiocracy…excuse me…the Age of Trump.
The two that I remember were Avgbear and the other name escapes me right now, but she had an avatar of some dude that starred in the Battlestar Gallactica series.
