Could the Leftist’ MO be any more obvious?

Why constantly allow these bottom feeders to get the drop on them and deflect like this?

Democrats talk like a child whining because the can’t have ice cream they are disconnected from reality they think the tax payer is a money tree.

The democrat party is a party of socialism and failure from the day it was founded.

Kakeem accusing republicans of exactly what democrats do. Jeffries ought to know exactly how that goes.

But, crashing the economy is policy for the democrats. They don’t mind destroying the economy. They don’t mind turning the U.S. into a 3rd world banana republic. Banana republics always find money where there isn’t any, and democrats admire that.

The bad news is . . .

An integral part of the GDP equation is government spending. If you reduce it, well, you get the picture.

GDP = C + I + G + (X − M) consumption, income, govt spending, exports minus imports

You cut spending, you cut GDP. By definition. And sportsfans, note that in the world of deficits and debt, if you cut gubmint spending, well, spending is mostly salaries. If you don’t pay salaries, then you don’t collect taxes on them.

So spending reduction’s impact on deficit is reduced by the taxes not paid.

Blah blah. Behold what happens when capitalism fails (as it did in 2009) and only government activity and accumulated debt keeps the wheels turning.

And now you know why policy is irrelevant in politics. Only Draining the Swamp matters.

The economy is being propped up by massive government deficit spending after our economy was wrecked by Biden's policies . The minute the borrowed juice stops flowing we are going to be in a world of economic hurt.

So what the hell is wrong with MAGA? Make America Great Again! Apparently socialist Democrats want a third-world America.

"Hakeem Jeffries: ‘Extreme MAGA’ GOP Trying to Crash Economy for ‘Political Benefit in 2024"

....... HA .... We all know this is a joke!!! ....... Because Republicans like to merely talk up a storm about the Cause de Jour ...... Then at the very last minute cave ..... Then go on all of the talk shows and talk about all of the good stuff they got out of the deal .....

.... However, If the shoe was on the other foot and a Republican was president .... The Democrats would allow the default then make the most out of it and blame the Republican President for allowing the first default in history. The GOP Doesn't have the balls to do that to the Democrats ..... After all .... That would be too mean spirited right??

The problem is one side is fighting to prevent a collapse.

The other side welcomes it.
