@mghrn55 saidI get your point, but our country is on a precipice. I know you guys are cool with socialism, and that is for another thread. But, the fact remains, there is a lot of turmoil ahead in the USA prior to what we end up 'arriving at'. So, to make the most of the discussions, the present day activities are HUGE, and need to be minded. I heard Pelosi just today saying, in effect, that the media should partner up with the democrats and sell their plan. Also, Biden has given IRS the power to snoop bank accounts. And so forth. This is all going on NOW, as our sovereignty is being lost
You guys are talking about rising debt.
That opens the door to mention where some of that has come from.
You don't get to whine when Trump's name comes up.
And ok, some fair play.
Debt went up $8T under Obama.
But that was over 8 years, not 4.
And much of that debt was due to 2008 crash.
Debt under Trump was up $7.5T in 4 years.
But in fairness to Trump, COVID played ...[text shortened]... on Biden, there is no shortage of rebuttal material out there.
And debates are all about rebuttal.
So y'all want to play who said what to whom, and did this or that, years ago. Boring and useless conversation. I do indeed breeze past Sonhoouse posts now, no offense, he has his own gig, but we best turn on the news tommorow. THAT is what we need to make us all aware of.
My two cents. I don't care about Trump. Yesterday. Even how we all got in this terrible fix is irrelevant, we are in it now, and need to get a handle on it.
