    Financially irresponsible government?

    Republicans consistently explode the deficit. In more than 60 years, no Republican has ever reduced an annual budget deficit from one year to the next, much less actually eliminated it and gotten all the way to zero (surplus). The last Republican president to reduce an annual budget from one year to the next was liberal Eisenhower, with a top marginal tax rate out of 13 brackets that never fell below 90% and was as high as 94% at one point. And he presided over what is arguably the most prosperous era of widespread broad-based middle-class prosperity in our history.

    In the same time period, four Democrats have reduced the annual budget deficits — LBJ, Clinton, Obama and Biden. LBJ and Clinton got all the way to surplus (Clinton each of his last four years in office). Obama reduced the enormous deficit he inherited from Dubya Bush every year in office except his first. So far, Biden has reduced the enormous deficit he inherited from Trump every year in office, though neither of them got all the way to surplus.

    And when Democrats spend, it is on economic INVESTMENTS that grow the economy, such as infrastructure, education and the things that make us more productive.

    In contrast, Reagan, both Bushes and Trump all exploded the deficit with irresponsible military spending, corporate welfare and tax giveaways to the few richest elites at the top.

    Fiscally irresponsible Republicans and conservatives have a lot of nerve to wag their deficit spending fingers in anyone else’s face and lecture us about “fiscal responsibility.”

    — The district Marilyn Lands won by TWENTY-FIVE PERCENTAGE POINTS was already a heavily Republican gerrymandered district that was solidly red. That is what is so amazing, and such a warning to anti-freedom, anti-liberty Trumpublicangelical cult worshippers who want to micromanage control of every detail of people’s private, personal lives.

    When you tell THEM that you’re taking away their freedoms, all of a sudden the people who didn’t care when it was someone else being hurt suddenly care when it is THEIR OWN freedoms and liberties on the line.

    The problem for red state Trumpublicangelical cult worshippers is not that they have a district that is suddenly blue and can be re-gerrymandered, but that they lost a solid red gerrymandered district where that was not supposed to happen.

    And you can be sure that PROgressives and Democrats are going to be hammering that message home as hard as we can until November. And Democrats have the money to get their message across (and also organize a ground game to get people to the polls), while state Republican parties are financially bankrupt (literally) and is political disarray and the national Republican party is funneling all its revenues into Trump’s legal defense.

    The Trump “God Bless America” Holy Bible.

    It’s holy. Bigly. Bigly holy.

    The only “freedom” or “liberty” conservatives care about is eliminating the public regulatory oversight of their efforts to run roughshod over the rights of workers and consumers.

    As for those “pesky regulations” that protect workers, consumers and our shared environment and infrastructure from predatory oligarchs (or OILigarchs) that “infringe” the “freedom” and “liberty” of ginormous corporations and the few richest elites to trample the rights and freedoms of workers, consumers, our shared environment and the rights of middle-class working people?

    The predators want those protections to end because, yes, they do “stifle” their economic growth — their opportunity to REDISTRIBUTE the wealth of working people to themselves, the few richest elites who already have the most — instead of promoting the economic growth and broad-based, widespread middle class prosperity that we enjoyed in the Golden Age of recovery and prosperity from FDR to LBJ when we taxed the rich, supported workers (labor) and consumers, provided free public education through college and families could live the American middle class dream on a single income. It was the greatest period of broad-based, widespread general prosperity in the history of humankind.

    Corporatist conservatives — the Wall $treet Bank$ters who crashed the economy while they got rich — hate public policy oversight for exactly the same reason criminals and street thugs hate the police.

    Name calling, misrepresentations, whining and tantrums. No credibility. No positive responses or engagements. Nothing but ridicule and disgust for the troll.

    In the world of Trumpublicangelical cult worshippers, “Every accusation is a confession.”

    “I’m melting! I’m melting!” whines the snowflake.

    As one example of how Americans are finally seeing through the Republican reality reversal (claiming to be the party of “freedom” or “liberty” while eliminating the rights and freedoms of real Americans, just this week there was a special election in bright red Alabama to fill a vacant seat in the state legislature. It was a safe red state. The Republican who had won the safe red seat by a wide margin got convicted of fraud (such a Republican thing to do), leaving the seat vacant.

    In the special election to fill the vacancy, a Democrat believed she might be able to eke out a narrow win if her campaign centered around personal freedom and liberty issues in the wake of heavy-handed Republican policies on reproductive freedoms, including birth control and IVF in her state. Marilyn Lands, the Democrat, not only won the “safe” red seat, she blew it away, winning by a landslide margin of 25 — TWENTY-FIVE! — points (62% – 37%), something no poll had foreseen.

    As results in election after election since Dobbs have shown, especially when reproductive rights are explicitly on the ballot or candidates have run on them as central issues, Democratic turnout is energized and even Republican women won’t tell pollsters how much the issue of personal freedom means to them, but in the privacy of polling booths, they are getting the message and sending one of their own.

    The American people are finally beginning to see that, despite their lip service to the contrary, Republicans are not the party of “freedom” or “liberty” for middle class working people.

    When conservatives talk about “freedom” or “liberty,” what they mean is “freedom” for ginormous corporations to run roughshod over the rights of workers, consumers and our shared environment, but want to micromanage and dictate control over every aspect of everyone else’s personal lives.

    In reality, conservatives want to take away liberty and freedom from everyone else and micromanage every aspect of others’ private lives.

    Conservatives are the ones who want to dictate total control over private relationships (dictate who you can or can’t marry or even what behavior is allowed behind closed doors), private medical choices (reproductive choices such as abortion, IVF or contraception, medical or recreational marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies, gender-identity care), tell us what books we or our children can have access to, or try to force PRIVATE religion into PUBLIC policy and religious rituals into public meetings or subsidize it with special tax advantages (socialized religion).

    — Yep. TROLL-TRIGGERED into a complete meltdown with a bad case of hyper-repetitive diarrhea of the keyboard, whining, crying and begging.

    Must be the spring thaw. The snowflakes are melting.

    Not going to be baited into going down that rabbit hole of irrelevance and outright disinformation, no matter how grotesquely he misrepresents — lies about — what I have said and posted, or how pathetically or repeatedly he begs and whines like a spoiled little kindergartener for me to repeat the sources that have already been referenced.

    Debunked, discredited conspiracy theories, outright false statements on subjects unrelated to the thread, and juvenile, pathetic name-calling do not merit a response.

    As to the actual subject of this thread:

    A true billionaire Christian would be giving Bibles for free, not selling them.

    Billionaire? Christian? Donald “Don the Con” Trump is neither.

    “Don the Con” is a fraud, a phony and a grifter and the gullible suckers keep on falling for his scams.

    And there goes @Jack7528 repeating the lies and stereotypes of the PEACEFUL Black Lives Matter protests and movement against the rampant murders of African Americans by rogue law enforcement officers.

    There were protests all over the country, and virtually all of them were PEACEFUL.

    The few where violence erupted were instigated by Proud Boys and Oath Keepers outside agitators, some of them even wearing blackface to try to look like BLM protesters, that stirred up violence in a few cases, as TRUMP-APPOINTED FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress (which I have provided links to many times in the past).

    It was Trump and his Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who were responsible for the rare instances of violence in the summer of 2020.

    It was Trump and his Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who were responsible for the armed invasion of the Michigan state capitol.

    It was Trump and his Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who were responsible for the attempted kidnapping and murder of Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.

    It was Trump and his Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who were responsible for the attempted hostile overthrow of the United States Capitol and the disruption and overthrow of a Constitutionally-mandated pro-forma certification of the election.

    It was Trump”s Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who were carrying Nazi and KKKonfederate treason-flags into the White House.

    It is Donald Trump who has promised to be a dictator “on Day One.”

    It is Donald Trump who has promised to suspend the Constitution.

    It was Trump and his Proud Boys and Oath Keeper domestic terrorists who are the authoritarian fascists being opposed by ANTIfascists — with bullets in 1944 and ballots eighty years later.
