You should be a lot more careful of your repeated use of the word “lies” since you’re now having to backtrack.
And “Gullible” is certainly not a word to correctly describe me. “Cynic” or “Skeptic” would be much more appropriate.
You on the other hand appear extremely naive, and not only willing, but anxious to swallow and then perfectly regurgitate whatever your favorite politicians feed you, without even the slightest application of actual critical thinking.
That’s fine, at least it’s Republicans you’re supporting, even though that mindless level of devotion is much more typical of the left. Hope you have a good rest of your day.
You need to follow your own advice because . I do not support Republicans, I support only those Republicans who fight for this nation. I will make concessions only because we need to have control with Trump back in the White House. Otherwise, Trump can never begin to be effective.
I haven't backtracked on anything, and you know that s the truth. If it were true, you would have brought the receipts.
You say you're a skeptic, but that is not true, because you present arguments that are worthy of skepticism, but you are not the least bit skeptical of your sources.
Let's take the example that I honed in on, which is the bipartisan non-profit that was started over 40 years ago, and has undergone many changes that make the qualifier of being bipartisan, laughable at best.
It stated that the tariffs and tax cuts added X amount to the budget over the next 10 years. That's a complete projection, and none of these clowns are particularly reliable with their projections. That's the first thing you should be skeptical of. The amount of debt under Trump was 7.8 trillion. Now the also stated that Trump was absorbing debt that was created by others before him, and that forecast was 3 trillion. So if you take the 8.4 trillion forecast over 10 years, that means the + 2.5 trillion and the - 3 trillion means the result would be a -.48 reduction of the 7.8 figure. yet they have increased the Trump debt amount to 8.4 trillion, instead the 7.32 it rightly was. 34.8 - 27.32. Furthermore, your source stated: Over the course of President Trump’s four years in office, the gross national debt grew from $19.95 trillion to $27.75 trillion – a $7.8 trillion increase. So, he rounds up to add 50 billion. Chicken feed right. What else has rounded up?
There exact statement is:
A better way to measure how much President Trump added to the debt is to evaluate the ten-year debt impact of the laws and executive orders he signed. We estimate that those added a combined $8.4 trillion to the debt over a ten-year period
An estimate is not a fact. It is thus not a credible number on which can be justified to add to Trump's debt spending, or take away from Biden. Especially when they do not provide how they came to arrive at that estimate. However, you point to that as if it is a stone cold fact.
You buy your source on face value, I do not buy it on face value. On the flip side you do not buy my source, and you would be correct to be skeptical of both sources. As am I.
Because critical thinking compels me to be skeptical, when there is no uniform method to calculate the debt accumulated by concrete figures, but instead use estimates to project their result. It's too easy to play games when "estimates" are used.
You on the other hand appear extremely naive, and not only willing, but anxious to swallow and then perfectly regurgitate whatever your favorite politicians feed you, without even the slightest application of actual critical thinking.
Well, you can make that claim, but you had better take a look in the mirror, because you have no receipts to back up that claim. Thus, you are projecting ,like a good Democrat would, what your problem is. You're neither skeptical as you claim, nor are you a critical thinker. You are gullible to accept tactics that have been used for decades to build up one candidate over the opposing candidate.
Just out of curiosity, what was your take on Covid? Did you question it, or did you assume that your government wouldn't lie to you?
Just sayin'.
