    Israel Declares War

    @Gideon300 in case you're wondering why Israel would do this... Israel wanted to create a democracy for Jews. If Jews only made up 6% of the population when Israel was created, how could they then have a democracy that favors the Jews? Well, they had to murder, displace, and terrorize...

    Israel Declares War

    This is historically not true. It's just as crazy as telling living Jews that were in concentration camps that the holocaust didn't really happen. We have Jews and Palestinians living today who share their stories. I've heard an Israeli Jew express his guilt in an interview because Israel kicked...

    What I don't get is why people think these Republicans who do this are "conservative". It's the OPPOSITE of conservatism to increase debt by not cutting back on entitlements while simultaneously lowering taxes for corporations. As my buddy @ZNP says, there is no such thing as coincidence. It's...

    I don't think the data is lying either. I think the interpretation of the data can differ based on context. If I loved Bill Clinton, I would absolutely interpret the data to show he was an economic genius. If I was objective, I would take into account the dot com book and not automatically...

    True, you use the term "government revenue" for what GDP actually is. "Government revenue" is really the taxes and non-taxed resources collected by the government. I explained this earlier but you're the pro when it comes to economics.

    I think people know the truth about why Republicans don't care about our national debt even though they claim the title of being economically conservative. If I was a senior citizen or close to being one, I won't have to face the consequences of the national debt as I will more than likely be...

    Someone who thinks GDP growth is the only thing to consider is incapable of teaching anyone about economics. They might be the same or slightly better off getting a lesson from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    And this is why I say you don't understand economics. You can't decrease taxes and keep all the entitlements you were previously offering/paying for and NOT expect to go into debt. How do you pay for the entitlements? It's fantastic that the GDP increased, but someone has to pay the piper. What...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    I appreciate you actually looking at the data. The only part I'm more cynical about is Bill Clinton. I don't think he was an economic genius like Republicans think Reagan was. Jimmy Carter could have been president in the 90s and the dot com (.com) boom would have made him look like an economic...

    My goodness... Yes, GDP increased.... but our national debt outpaced it. Why do you ignore this fact?

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    If you have an elementary level understanding of economics, one would think GDP is the only variable to consider. We can artificially grow GDP... in fact, we did after the financial crisis in 2008, remember? What happened in the 80s and in 2008? That's right... our national debt exponentially...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    If "government revenue" doubles and our national debt triples ($738 billion to $2.1 trillion from Reagans time), do you really think that is good? That is "preposterous". You don't think this was a contributor to inflation? What you don't seem to grasp is that you can't cut taxes for...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    The fact that Reagan believed in borrowing money to subsidize corporate welfare means he wasn't really an economic conservative. An example of economic conservativism would be Texas making it a state law restricting them from every going into debt. They must balance their books by law.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Do you refuse to believe that because of corporate welfare aka Reagonomics of the 80s, the US had to borrow a significant amount of money which ultimately exponentially grew our national debt? Percentage wise, he ranks third of all time, and the most in our lifetime. You are mistakenly using...

    No kidding that spending leads to debt. Who said differently? I never said "revenue creates debt". You said "revenue creats debt" and then said it was preposterous. I said corporate welfare leads to a greater debt. U.S. Debt by President: Dollar and Percentage Click the link please...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    More revenue is one aspect, but it also creates more debt. Look at the national debt since Reagan. Corporate welfare is killing the middle class. I would rather make $120,000 a year and have no debt, than make $1,000,000 a year and add $500,000 to my personal debt every year.

    It just reminds me of Cruz and Trump honestly. They will go back and forth with Trump coming out on top, only for Trump to win and later on they will be bros again. The negative image Cruz had during the 2016 primary was short-lived, as I envision DeSantis' will be as well. It's just a big game...
