A Good Time For A Government Shutdown

The deployment will cost somewhere between $42 and $110 million for the WLB's publicity stunt and election scare tactic to frighten his moron base.  Kindly don't talk to me about "deficits" dear republicunts.

Neither side is serious about the deficit. For that we would have to make cuts and tell people no. I haven’t seen any politician do this, and when they do, it is just partisan B.S.

Actually the deficit does tend to go down when a democrat is in office, though the debt continues to rise. Still, democrats haven't done nearly enough lately.

I think that Clinton did a fairly decent job concerning the deficit.   It's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed, and we keep kicking the can down the road.  It's going to come back on us shortly.  We definitely have a spending problem.  The government's revenue from taxes have increased recently, but so has their spending.

I understand some debt is supposed to be good, but surely not tens of trillions.

Yeah, because your history is as rotten as your theology.

Bill Clinton erased the Reagan/Bush the Smarter deficits by pushing through a tax increase on rich fucks and by the end of his term was running budget surpluses.  Of course, then Bush the Dumber came along starting wars all over the map and cutting taxes on those same rich fucks and, to the utter astonishment of republicunt asswipes everywhere, we were back to deficits.  Funny how that happened, huh?

I hope the House is angry enough to keep the government shut down. We need a civil war. Get rid of Pence, Trump, and the whole lot of them all at the same time.

No, we have a problem with stupid fucks who think government should only fund the things they personally want, and nothing else. Doesn't work that way. I would be highly surprised if you weren't one of those fucks.

Yeah..... No Government Regulation.... unless it is reproductive rights then fuck ya!  The government can put a GPS on your genitals for all these xhristard douches care.

5900 troops guarding a boarder nearly 2000 mile long. That's one soldier every 1749 feet. Unless they patrol in pairs, which will leave gaps twice as large.

Yeah. He's got that shit locked down!

And even then, it's still one of the most militarised borders on Earth, and, unlike any of the other countries on this list (except for the Bangladeshi-Indian border), we haven't been at war with Mexico since 1848, and we don't have incredibly powerful terrorist groups to warrant troop surges of that magnitude. Looking up terror plots involving the Mexico-US border in recent years, I found an article on Politifact that was able to find exactly two. Neither either one involved people who were actually FROM Mexico. The latter didn't even cross as part of the plot, unless you somehow suspect the plot was 23 years in the making.

I’m not well versed in politics at all but as a point of clarification are we talking about national debt or national deficit because I liked bill’s financial policies
