Are House Republicans gonna attempt to fix this mess they caused before they leave?

So our current government shouldn’t address deficits and trillion dollar debt loads because “Obama did it”?

No, but that is a big part of what we can attribute the deficit to, MCC seems to think a deficit exists solely because Republicans cut taxes and increased the defense budget. He forgot we need to pay back that $20T debt left behind.

They seem to forget "Obama did it" with a Republican House (where all spending originates) and Senate.

If only there were some fiscally conservatives to stop Obama from signing spending bills sent to him by a Republican Congress

No. Republicans have been in charge of the House & Senate for the past 8 years. Including the last 2 with a Republican President. Spending originates in the House. Who has controlled the House the past 8 years?

They scamming you fam. They only fiscally conservatives when it comes to cutting spending on the middle/lower class.

Ok, so which is it, Obama gets credit for current boom in economy (as he suggests) or he gets the blame for low GDP growth and doubling our national debt?

I have no idea what you're talking about. But i know it's an attempt to change the subject because you won't address the massive spending originated by Republicans under Obama & Trump.

So now that you are backed into a corner you're going to play dumb? You have no idea what I'm talking about? I laid it out for you very concisely. I'm not changing the subject, I'm explaining why Trump has a deficit and where the money is going...to pay interest on Obama's debt. You know, the debt he promised to slash in half??!!

Now you are here trying to blame Congress for the debt when it is the President, by law, who approves congressional spending. Obama approved it.

[siablo14]

They've had the purse strings the past 8 years. Six under Obama & 2 under Trump.

I'm starting to think all this talk by Republicans about debt & deficit is just that. All talk

Hypocrites especially Ted Cruz and Sugar Adam Ali

[siablo14]

"We're (republicans) fiscally conservative...democrats want to give away free stuff, doe."

Hypocrites!
Are you one? We you squabbling about the deficit Obama was in?

Not playing dumb. All I know is you refuse to acknowledge the House Republicans spending the past 8 years.

According to the constitution where does spending originate?

To much money on entitlements we've paid into?

Entitlements are socialist programs. Liberals really are insane. Socialism has been proven time and time again to be a drain on a country's economy. Yet those people who ask for socialism complain when the government is bleeding money thanks to socialist programs.

******s want socialism, socialism ruins the country, ******s ask why the country is ruined. Happens over and over and over. Just a never ending cycle of stupidity.
