"SNIP.....

“House Republicans plan to run on tried-and-true issues in 2020: repealing Obamacare and reducing the national debt, even though the GOP fell short of both goals the last time the party had full control of Washington,” Bloomberg reports.

Said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarth: “The first thing we would do is make sure our debt is taken care of.”

......SNIP"


Their point is we can't afford biden care or climate mitigation or any other democratic idea. They will repeat and repeat it. "We are too poor". Same way they decertified unions.Lies.

1. ROFL!

How are they going to bullshit that?

[Iliyah]

3. Lie . . .

Their dwindling base will suck it up, the sane Americans will know right away it's not the truth.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Its all the liberals fault.

All part of the world wide all powerful liberal conspiracy against real Muricans?

[JHB]

19. Same way they always do: by making noise about it, the media being too "both sides" to call bullshit

It's been pretty much standard operating procedure since the 90s.

The last wheezing gasp of actual concern about deficits by a Republican in power was GHWB signing a feeble reform of the unsustainable 1986 tax cuts.

The people who now completely control the Republican party are the ones who crucified him for it.

[TheFarseer]

40. I always argue with my dad about this

And he says it’s OK to vastly overspend on the military because defense is a legitimate function of the government and school for illegal immigrants and free health care for drug addicts is not. Anyway, that’s what he says.

[unblock]

2. Wow! They're planning their post-election loss obstruction campaign already!

[spanone]

5. Their hypocrisy is STUNNING.

and they will blame Democrats for trump's debt.

[Vinca]

6. Now that's funny. Dimwit 45 is running up the tab like he's going to declare bankruptcy.

[CDerekGo]

7. Lipstick on a Pig?

Jeez, GOP has managed to create the ALL-TIME high National Debt with this Administration, and NOW all of a sudden, reducing it is a concern? I can see they're already preparing for a Democratic takeover of House, Senate and White House. They have their 'talking points' already lined up. Let's certainly hope that the Reporters who have the microphone (Fux Noise doesn't count) will have the cojones to ask about the reason why this Nation has the debt it currently has when the GOP starts spewing their nonsense.

8. F U C K T H A T !

9. Oh let me guess!

Cut ACA healthcare, medicare, SSI, food stamps, housing assistance, etc

But cut the war machine or raise taxes on the rich? No way!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

27. Exactly

[Newest Reality]

29. Right!

The clarion call is now going to trumpet the need to cut everybody off of everything they can because those are useless expenditures. That is an obvious and typical cycle and the deficit becomes a ruse and a tool that they utilize after increasing it.

This time though, the situation is far more dire and at the level of a major crises brewing, so the services and programs really need to be expanded and increased just to maintain at least a semblence of societal order and functional structure since we have many 3rd-World realities emerging around us.

The cuts they are going to wield their barbaric axe at are not going to be as easy to justify or enact because of that. Add to that the relentless sucking sound of increasingly unequal distribution of wealth and, hopefully, more people will wake up to the potential of an impending Feudalism at hand.

There have been estimates that, if the wealthy and corporations continue the current trend of profit and acquisition of wealth, resources and property, they could literally own everything globally within a few decades. That should be a sobering thought and it does play into reasons for supporting the commons and well being of the population in general.

34. It's why police depts are getting militarized

Excess military gear is being sold to PDs around the country. We aren't that far from a military fascist state.

[TruckFump]

10. With Trump at the top of their ticket????

[KPN]

12. Lol. Too funny ... unless we don't have a clear

set of talking points that make the truth painfully obvious. Who the hell does that for the Democratic Party?

[CanonRay]

13. Oh. Now debt is suddenly important again.

How many times can they use the same old bag of tricks

[fleur-de-lisa]

14. The Onion?

[Doremus]

15. He said as the ink wasn't yet dry on the $1+ trillion tax cut for the rich.

A very funny man, quick thinker. And such a patriot.

16. eliminating the national debt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2000

Donald campaigned/ran for Prez in 2000

Trump focused his campaign on the issues of fair trade, eliminating the national debt, and achieving universal healthcare as outlined in the campaign companion piece The America We Deserve, released in January 2000. He named media proprietor Oprah Winfrey as his ideal running mate and said he would instantly marry his girlfriend, Melania Knauss, to make her First Lady.

17. Donald recommended defaulting on the national debt.

Donald recommended defaulting on the national debt.

Negotiating with the creditors to take less money.

Don’t forget that much of America’s debt is owned by Americans, not just the Chinese and other foreigners .

Donald Trump's Glorious Threat To Default On The National Debt Is Just The Conventional Wisdom

20. What planet are they from? nt

[Takket]

21. This just in! Arsonists to run on reducing the fires they started

[wiggs]

22. Same as Melanie running campaign against online bullying. 'I really don't care, do you?' nt

[ck4829]

23. I guess that means they're not banking on a Trump reelection

Since, you know, the national debt is only a concern when a Democrat is president.

[BSdetect]

24. The greater the lie ........Goebbels.

[maxsolomon]

25. They count on the short memories of the voters.

1. they delivered a tax cut. voters like tax cuts, even if they wind up paying more. it sticks it to the gubmint, and people hate gubmint.
2. the debt is growing. this is obviously the fault of tax-and-spend libtard soshlysts, and the only solution is to cut "waste".

it's a pretty easy sell; their internal polling and focus groups must tell them it will.

[GoCubsGo]

39. Like Gore Vidal said,

this is the United States of Amnesia. Unfortunately, they still haven't found a cure for that.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

26. Do they think that it is one that will be "sexy" enough for 2020?

and one that any Democratic candidate can beat them over the head for with nothing but their own votes for Trump bailouts and irresponsible tax cuts.

[Shrike47]

28. This is SO funny! They run it up while promising to reduce it and some people buy it again!

Some voters are gullible. They count on it.

[lame54]

30. As long as Trump golfs there will be debt

[lagomorph777]

31. HAHAHAAAAAAA! Hilarious! GO FOR IT RUSSIAPUBLICANS!

[Prosper]

32. Penalize non productive trading and reward

goods and services investing and the national debt will disappear with the resulting rises in GDP and income tax revenue . Poverty is a choice forced on the working class by big money refusing to work.

[Wounded Bear]

33. And the deplorables will fall for it again...

[GoCubsGo]

37. Unfortunately, a lot of non-deplorables will fall for it, as well.

Which is how they keep getting elected.

[Wounded Bear]

38. Sad, but true...nt

[ooky]

35. In other words, they are going to campaign on lies again.

What else is new?

[GoCubsGo]

36. The debt that THEY ran up with their stupidass tax cuts?

LOL!!! That's rich. Same shit, different year. It's sad and pathetic that they pull this same stunt every time they take power, and even more sad and pathetic that Americans keep falling for it. Every. Fucking. Time.

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. Best laugh of the day so far.

[keithbvadu2]

42. When will you republicans do that fiscal responsibility thing that you only preach but refuse to pra

When will you republicans do that fiscal responsibility thing that you only preach but refuse to practice?
