Ryan incurred the entire $21 trillion??? I didn’t known that.

Nice deflection. The root cause of the debts goes back to FDR’s social security and later Medicare.

Late to post and I hardly read any of the replies but just want to say that the Poll states 3/4's do not want Socialism, but how many of those still vote Democrat?

Really goes without saying, but it's the Democrats that want to bring us there.

Right, because Obama had nothing to do with it. He ran up the debt MORE THAN ALL OTHER PRESIDENTS COMBINED. ALL.

Dont be so modest, the GOP loves socialism. See Medicare and Social Security schemes for further evidence.

I think part of the reason is that Democrats are not honest about their platform. They will tell you all day long they don't support open borders but it's completely obvious that they do. Nancy Pelosi is proposing millions in infrastructure spending to work on roads at the entry ports. Here is her convoluted double talk quote: "[The plan] we are proposing is to build the infrastructure of the ports of entry, to strengthen that, the ports of entry, spend the money, the hundreds of millions of dollars, but accessible to have the scanning technology to scan cars coming through for drugs, contraband of any kind, weapons even," Pelosi said.

I swear she is either illiterate or trying purposely mislead. I am going to guess it's the latter.

Ok, so why were food stamps at an all time high when he left office? Didn't he 'fix' the economy?

No, but he incurred 80% of the increase from 2008-2016 (he controlled the House from 2010).
