    Fact check:

    The debt literally doubled during W's reign of Socialistic terror. It went up 68% under Obama.

    To be fair, the debt did go up more in raw dollars under Obama.

    If you want to equate debt percentage increase to Socialism, Reagan is Stalin:

    Christ you are dumb. Do you prefer the Trump strategy of reducing tax receipts and increasing spending?

    Growth and revenue exploded under Reagan. Obama is Mr under 2%

    If you want to justify massive federal debt growth because of correlated GDP growth, that's fine. It's probably even good.

    That wasn't the argument @salemcoog was making though.

    It will work out if there truly is large growth, otherwise we fucked x2. Not sure doubling down is the right move.

    The point is spending exploded the debt and that was a democrat congress. If we are just going to over spend no matter how much revenue we get then fuck it. It blows up the argument that we NEED to pay MORE

    I agree with that point as well.

    The unrelated point that @salemcoog made was that debt explosion is tied to Socialist policies. If that's true, then Reagan and W were better Socialists than Obama.

    No, our economy was centered on home mortgages, some assholes got greedy and crashed the system. Then they were given 100 cents on the dollar which did nothing for the millions of people and businesses that were screwed when the economy crashed. You can't come out of a depression by lowering taxes and yelling at immigrants.

    The bailout was fucking stupid. The subsidizing of the nation was necessary because the easy option of jumping into WW2 wasn't readily available.

    Until rednecks like you admit that America isn't the greatest country in the world anymore we will be stuck with one foot off the merry-go-round.

    Immigrants from multiple countries will risk killing themselves to come here everyday.

    The whole world looks to us for their entertainment and loves our culture, if not our politics. A quarter of the world's nations and most of Europe would be swallowed up by Russia, China and the Middle East psychos, if we suddenly left them to fend for themselves.

    We are still the number one country for innovative products and services.

    All of the other so called Utopian countries like Sweden would be shit holes if not for the protection, aid and leadership that the US offers.

    We allow them to be so "great".
    Pretty much this. Acting like USA plays under the same rules as the rest of the world is laughable.
