I can't believe anyone who is against increased Federal spending actually supported Trump. The lessor of 2 evils is still evil.

Reagan leaned on Volker to increase interest rates knowing it would throw us into a sever recession.

His 35% approval rating in January of 1983 is a testament to the risk he took.

By July 1983, inflation was at 2.5%, down from the 11.8% he inherited from Carter.

After that, the economy exploded with growth, employment opportunities and higher wages.

By 1984, America could see daylight again...

Yet Reagan helped increase inflation by going along with increased spending and debt.

If you're against increasing the debt then be against increasing the debt. Don't give a pass based on party lines.

We can do it but your people can't. It's the Hypocrites Oath.

Debt that actually invests back into the country, with a plan to pay for it makes a lot more sense.

Stopped reading at this point....

That was up to Congress.
Ask them why they did not make the tax cuts permanent.

I'd rather ask why Trump pushed tax cuts that hurt the middle class.

I don't know what you mean "your people". Please let me know the last time an independent increased the debt.

I don't like Trump or Biden so miss me with the "your people" crap. And you still haven't called out Trump's debt increase. You simply turned it into the elementary school playground name calling.

You have that wrong. They helped the middle class.

But don't let a little thing like reality get in the way of your point, right? Ideology and hatred of Trump is more important than that

Wonder if Biden total included estimates for "The Wall?"
