Spending Cuts, Anyone?

Joey is cutting defense budget for China's benefit

Curious interpretation of what I wrote.

It's a basic summary of most things you write.

It's pretty accurate, no?

The US defense budget in 2021 was $705 billion. In 2022 it was $753 billion. In 2023 it rose to $816 billion...and you claim Biden is cutting the budget. Dawg, you're a liar.

I do not think this and have not posted it.
Republicans all bad, Democrats all good.

Not even close.

By the way...I pointed out that the republican hold up on the debt ceiling was not the "right thing to do" because it actually didn't save money. You ignore that and posted that they are doing the right thing.

Debt ceiling deal reached by McCarthy, Biden to try to avert default (azcentral.com)
China owns Joey and explains why they send the family so much money.

Joey is reducing the number of ships our navy has
Xi is increasing China's by a 1/3 more and your tiny self thinks it's funny

F*cking amazing answer to having been caught lying. Dawg.

China counts tiny patrol boats...yup, they have a bunch.

Carriers? They have two...ship borne missiles? Oh..we have twice as many. Missile subs...they have 6..we have 14

None so blind a those who refuse to see.

No worries.

Yes. Republicans bad....That is your opinion.

And your focus.


I do believe that reducing spending would be good for America, no matter what side does it.

Spending is out of control. Time for both sides to come together and do what is best for America.

You still haven't answered the questions I asked...

So open your eyes...

Out of curiosity, I peaked into a couple of other sites like this one that I know of that are dominated by right-leaning posters. One of them bans members who even hint that they lean left in their posts. They ain't even talking about the "deal" at those sites. One little old thread in each of them with only a handful of posts. They ain't happy posts either.

I find it to be irrelevant.

You're stuck on Republicans all bad. I'm more interested in what's best for the nation.

We see things differently. I'm fine with that.

People who believe that Democrats are always wrong are no better than people who believe Republicans are always wrong - They are in fact both victims of the same narrow-minded intolerant flawed thinking.

Both sides have these types of folks, although our natural tendency is to see the fault in one and not the other. That is our flaw.

Okay. Well...I wasn't even talking about who is right or wrong. I was talking about the reaction or lack thereof of mostly hard right-leaning posters in those forums to the "deal".

Yes. And there are hard-left leaning posters as well, no?

 

[write on]

Republican politicians like to say they want to lower debt, but history shows that they are complicit with the Democrats in raising it year after year.

Both sides will squabble like poorly behaved children, both sides will blame the other for everything, and some partisan voters on both sides will fall for it. Nothing new under the sun.

Meanwhile, the debt just keeps getting bigger, the government more bloated and inefficient, and the politicians ever more corrupt. That's our system at present.

Faith in government is faith wasted. They have their best interests at heart, not ours.

There is at least a sliver of good news in that they are fooling fewer and fewer people everyday. Eventually, we all answer for our actions, and there are no exceptions.

In the end, it's all good.

McCarthy is finally realizing what he needs to keep his Speakership knowing that he'll have the far right at his throat.

It's called bipartisanship.

Something that was lost during the 4 years of Trump.

I asked how much money they'd save. You don't know....but are sure it is a good move, because they are republicans.
