She’s a fine one to talk about ‘scams’. Her dad was the mob boss of Maryland according to Savage’s ‘Political Zoo’ if memory serves.

So if ‘mob daughter’ Pelosi wants to talk about scams, what about Obama’s scandal-riddled budgeting? Did she complain about that? Trump’s been manning the helm brilliantly, catching economic headwinds like a master economist.

And what did Pelosi say about the Clinton Foundation? What did she say about this?

Pardon of Drug Lord for Cash

“Hugh Rodham received a contingency fee in connection with a pardon application for Glen Braswell and a fee for work on Carlos Vignali’s commutation application. In 1995, Vignali was convicted of masterminding a scheme to distribute 800 pounds of crack cocaine...”

Democrats only care about deficits when Republicans are in the White House and Republicans only care about deficits when Democrats are in the White House.

How would they know what impact a tax cut would have on revenue collection before the end of the tax year?

Fiscal year ended on September 30th.

Love to see the democrats deficit and debt reduction plan. No such thing exists as we know.

In all fairness there isn't a Republican one either.

PASS ANOTHER TAX CUT!

Because trillion dollar deficits aren't large enough?

A “conservative” Congress should reign it in.

Deficits only matter to Democrats when they are in the minority.

Tax cuts are always welcomed and a good thing. If you disagree Nancy want you on her staff.

You don’t need to cut spending at all. Just hold it steady for 10 years. Inflation and increase revenues from tax cuts and import tariffs will wipe it out.

You idiot, revenues are up after the tax cut. It’s the spending and not the taxation that is the issue. But you knew that.

Revenues are up, not a lot, but up.

When your revenues grow by 1 or 2 percent but your spending grows at 7 or 8 percent then you have two choices; increase revenue or decrease spending. So far Congress has shown no enthusiasm for doing either.

So long as you decrease spending to make up for them. But that's not happening.

We continue to say that and yet it never gets done.

A 20% import tariff and a few more tax cuts to stimulate the economy will increase revenue by at least $500B/year and increase 3-4% per year so yeah, I do NKOW that. This will null out the deficit, not the debt. The debt will have to be “out grown” over many decades as soon as the deficits stop.

REVENUES INCREASE WHEN YOU CUT TAXES SO THERE IS NOTHING TO MAKE UP FOR.
