This highlights the hypocrisy of the GOP. They have been screaming for 8 years about the debt and the deficit. Now they have an opportunity to do something about it, and they punt.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - He has the lowest favorable ratings of any previous President at this point of his term. And, it keeps going lower.
The stock market was at record highs before Obama left office. It is simply continuing the climb, which, IMO, it will eventually stop and perhaps even fall, as history shows.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Was Obama from a party that traditionally championed fiscal responsibility? You expect a Democrat to tax and spend, what I have a bigger problem is a "tax cut and spend" Republican.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Bush mde no attempt to pay for any of the cost of the war. According to them the Iraqis were going to pay for it. Obama inherited that deficit. Having finished arguing about the past, Trump wants to borrow another $1.5 Trillion and give that the the moneylenders, leaving you to pay for it.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Thanks. It was low-lying fruit, the first one I found so I ran with it. Maybe doing a media bias check before posting would keep things less divisive. Add it to the list - spell check, grammar check, political check, bias check....
