It was 20 Trillion when Trump and the Republicans passed their payday loan tax scam.

Deficit has been going up ever since.
How much did it go up under the previous occupant? While I do believe the issue needs to be addressed to put this all on Trump shows your bias!

When most American Republicans say they hate "socialism", they mean the benefits other people get.

All Republicans love socialist programs like the military, the Wall, and corporate welfare, but a lot of them rely on SS and Medicare as well.

When the average age 60+ Republican sees their SS and Medicare go away, you better believe that they, and the generation coming up behind them are going to abandon the Republican party in droves.

The military, wall, etc. are not socialist programs. They are all necessary tools to keep our country safe. The Republican party is not going to do away with SS and Medicare stop drinking the leftist kool-aid. It may have some changes to it down the line but it's not going away.

Are you opposed to tackling the fraud and waste in those programs?

Better hope you don't have a child born with a severe disability. Or develop a life-changing illness in your 20s. Or ever get old.

Robbing the poor, to give to the rich, is at the core of the Trumpster credo. Even though the majority of them will suffer from it, they're too stupid to realize it.

Demented Donald Trump, the devil unmasked. Now attacking the least of society in order to line the pockets of his pals the super rich. The one thing that DDT excels in is bankruptcy. DDT is just as toxic as ddt was.

You and yours need to read post #33 and then come back and make the same false statements but you won't be able to with a straight face.
