We’re about $22 trillion in debt. Since LBJ declared War on Poverty, we’ve spent approximately $22 trillion on it.
You make an excellent point. And so when idiots start in on demanding reparations - they need to be reminded:
They already got them.
It wasnt LBJ. Ive researched the debt and deficit extensively. The debt and deficit started to skyrocket under Reagan and pretty much continued (with a little bit of leveling off under Clinton) under all other Presidents. Hate to say it but the tax and spend policy of the conservatives is what has really caused this problem. We need to cut spending and raise taxes to get this problem under control.
