Where has the TEA Party been the last three years of Obama?

I used to go to TEA Party rallies. The TEA Party is a skeleton with three quarters of its bones missing. The current TEA Party is essentially a money raiser focusing on keeping some paid staff who focus on raising money. There hasn't been any significant events in years.

Nice try, but that card has no value in this game. You might as well toss the joker on the table.

Please remember what Reagan and Bush taught us. A Tax Cut without a corresponding Cut in Spending is really just a Tax Deferment. Please keep your children and grandchildren in mind. The Bill will become due. Dont be fooled by Tax Cut and Spend Reaganomics. It feels good, but its just amcheap Sugar High.

Trump's closest economic advisor is Stephen Moore, a supply sider closely aligned with Art Laffer. "Supply side" economics is what I call the perpetual motion theory of economics. Reagan and Bush 43 bought into it and so does Trump. Bush 41 correctly labeled it "voodoo economics."

Trump is an avowed Tax Cut and Spend Republican.

And I complained about Bush's spending non-stop.

The first order of business should be to cut spending. Even I am getting tired of hearing myself say this.

Where did anybody get the idea that the debt does not matter? We know that it has not mattered to liberals under Obama but it is another reason that Trump was voted in over Hillary who never made mention of getting the debt under control.

Deficits haven't mattered to Republicans since Calvin Coolidge. They pay lip service to it but generally Tax Cut and Spend. And Spend! See Ronald Reagan. Invest accordingly

Does that mean you support cutting spending?

Do you support legislation to balance the budget?

Not necessarily. Just pointing out that while Democrats Tax & Spend, Republicans Tax Cut and Spend. And Trump has said that he loves debt and is the self proclaimed "King of Debt".

Maybe you should have picked a better title and first post if you wanted that to be the subject of this thread.

"Cars are too fast, but I'm not here to discuss cars but the best Flowers's for planting in Spring."
