    33 trillion in debt and still going, 1.375 trillion deficit in '22, but throw money at Ukraine and Israel

    inflation at 9.1 percent not long ago

    10 million illegals, I mean "asylum seekers" in 3 years

    nothing to be critical of at all

    Deficits are a problem, no question about it. I 100% agree with you. But why are you calling it out now? Every single president in my lifetime has run a deficit minus Clinton for 2 years.

    You must have been REALLY pissed off during the Trump years then? Right Bill? You're not a hypocrite are you?
    Clinton never actually ran a true surplus. He borrowed from social security to show a fake surplus. It was still a good performance though relatively speaking.
    Regardless, even if you account for that then he came the closest to running that surplus but that wasn’t the point of my comment.

    Calling out Biden now for deficit spending is disingenuous because everyone runs deficits. Trump did worse damage if that irritates you now.
    Don't look at me, I voted for Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.
    I respect that. The one thing I respect about Ron Paul is that he stuck to his guns. He didn’t dance on both sides of the fence when it suited him.

    Buck can't connect the Reagan revolution to the good Clinton economy which continued the growth

    W started two wars and then Obama brought the shitty policies that Biden brought back

    Trump had a better economy.

    And a growing lead daily

    People forget Obama started 7 wars. People forget that.

    Nobel Peace Prize indeed.

    I don’t see how Biden can brag about the economy when most people are pretty down on their personal situation and cost of living

    Feels like a mistake

    The fourth-quarter data provided more evidence that the recovery remains on solid footing. Consumer spending, the bedrock of the U.S. economy, grew at a 2.8 percent annual rate, only modestly slower than the prior quarter. The housing sector, which was battered by high interest rates in 2022 and early 2023, grew modestly for the second quarter in a row. Businesses stepped up their investment on equipment. Personal income rose faster than prices as the strong job market continued to benefit workers.

    Gotta admit, watching you guys try to spin doctor this information has been more entertaining than the Barbenheimer double header!!!

    Always great when consumer spending increases less than the inflation rate. Booming I say!
    You gotta excuse SheDog……I already knew the guy can barely read.

    Are you just the alt of @HHusky, or only his lover?

    So you practice whataboutism, while complaining about others doing it.

    Wow. @HuskyBitch is a Hypocrite, too. Whaddayaknow?

    Haven’t been to the tug in awhile. Is @HuskyBuck on the same level as @HHusky in faggotry?

    Seems like she might even have taken the lead.

    It was nice having football dominate the thoughts

    Who could imagine that the federal government pumping hundreds of billions into the economy might lead to minimal growth?

    With the taxpayer money being spent in government work projects, 10% GDP should be the expectation because this is unsustainable. Almost hope Biden wins so it will exacerbate the upcoming chaos and the fat, happy Democrats dependent on their government salaries/retirements/contracts will be blindsided by it.

    On this day in 2020 has was $1.80 and the mortgage rate was 2.75%. Biden sucks! But we know it's Obama, Soros and the WEF.
