Define winning.
It’s definitely not one party with all of it.
No, because spending is far from the only issue.
Capable of lowering the deficit.
Iirc, it’s about 28%.
exactly.
Ok. If you think so.
Here you go.
That’s what makes dems better than republican’s
52% of Republicans.
Stanning for health insurance companies might not be working folks.
Do you want to lower the deficit or fix healthcare or save the environment or fight terrorists or …
Of course. If we’re going reduce the deficit we’re going need a level of taxation capable of paying for our spending and deficit reduction.
Democratic Presidents tend to do this when they’re constrained by a Republican Congress.
Poor people in American have medicaid.
Sounds good. America is more than capable of anything it prioritizes.
There’s another side to that equation.
I will NOT vote for anyone who is going to raise my taxes.
You want to reduce the deficit, rein in Centgov - cut spending.

During FY2016, the federal government spent $3.27 trillion on a budget or cash basis, up $18 billion or 1% vs. FY2015 spending of $3.25 trillion. Major categories of FY 2016 spending included:

Expenditures are classified as mandatory, with payments required by specific laws, or discretionary, with payment amounts renewed annually as part of the budget process. Expenditures averaged 20.3% GDP between 1967 and 2016, generally ranging +/-2% GDP from that level. The 2016 spend was 20.9% GDP, versus 2015 spend of 20.6% GDP and a recent 2009 peak of 24.4% GDP.[1]
Only if you severely neuter the insurance companies would it be feasible if not you get Obamacare which helped the insurers while driving up the premiums for a lot of Americans.
At this point we have the worse of all worlds. I read over 50% of people don’t go to the Dr because of price. And another 35% avoided getting their medication refilled.
