When the press starts caging children to score political points, then by all means, “harass” them by non-violently playing them audio of the consequences. You sure are quite vocal vocal about this whole “harassment” thing while being conspicuously silent when people like the press are already harangued and cursed at during trump rallies. The people in the first paragraph are caging children. The people in the second are reporting the news. Which one has cause for being “harassed” again?

The Evil Genius Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 ...and in another non surprise, the stolen seat at SCOTUS has decided that 42 years of precedent has to be changed. The Janus ruling came back with a 5-4 ruling in favor of the plaintiff. That should just about kill off any power that unionized members had.

PleaseBlitz Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Here is an article on the ballooning of the debt by noted liberal rag Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2018/01/15/obamas-federal-debt-grew-at-a-slower-rate-than-reagan-h-w-bush-or-w-bush/#2706cff61917 Quote Republicans use a sound bite that the federal debt doubled under Obama. In looking at the numbers that is close to being numerically correct but falls short of being 100%. However when you take into account the Great Recession, making W. Bush’s temporary tax cuts permanent, increased Social Security and Medicare spending as more Baby Boomers retire and become 65 years old and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars he inherited the story is quite different. The first thing you notice when looking at the federal deficits from fiscal 2007 (the U.S. government fiscal year ends in September) is that it increased by almost $1 trillion from fiscal 2008 (two months before Obama was elected and four months before he was sworn in) to fiscal 2009. It remained over $1 trillion per year for four years and got below Bush’s last years deficit in fiscal 2015. It continued to decrease until Obama’s last year and has increased in Trump’s first year in office. Fiscal 2007: $161 billion (next to last year of Bush’s second term) Fiscal 2008: $459 billion (beginning impact from the Great Recession) Fiscal 2009: $1.4 trillion (Obama’s first year and in the teeth of the Recession) Fiscal 2010: $1.3 trillion Fiscal 2011: $1.3 trillion Fiscal 2012: $1.1 trillion Fiscal 2013: $680 billion Fiscal 2014: $485 billion Fiscal 2015: $438 billion Fiscal 2016: $587 billion Fiscal 2017: $666 billion (Trump’s first year of his Presidency) It is clear that the almost $1 trillion jump between fiscal 2008 and 2009 was due to the Great Recession. Tax receipts fell, expenditures rose and Obama and Congress passed the American Economy and Reinvestment Act to combat the recession. It then compares Obama to each President going back to Reagan. You can look at the data yourself. Quote President Obama’s debt actually grew at a slower annual rate than any of the Republican presidents even though there were events that negatively impacted the deficit that started before he became President. The Great Recession is probably the biggest of them as can be seen in the yearly deficit numbers. While all politicians use data to support their positions, the sound bite that the debt doubled under Obama is very misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is one side doesn't use it as a talking point and at least intends for the money to help people. The other side ****es about it when they aren't in power then just gives money to their rich friends when they are in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
