I've Never Liked Hillary...

He has not. The debt growth this time around is from the precipitous drop in revenue, thanks to the Lesser Depression, and non-discretionary spending (emphasis on non-discretionary). And flight to safety in Treasuries.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

taxes were lowered revenues went up. those are the cold hard facts. you want to attribute it to govt spending increases... but govt spending is always increasing.

Reagan lowered taxes and increased spending, widening the deficit and exploding our debt, financed by the Chinese. (Yeah, yeah, blah blah, "debt under Obama!"--not discretionary spending.) Under Reagan the US became a debtor country for the first time in her history.

Please show me any data, real GDP, real GDP per capita, productivity and wages, etc., that would support "morning in America" was anything more than the Fed cutting interest rates back.

Politifact rates Hillary Clinton's claim that "no GOP candidate has talked about controlling college costs" as completely false

http://www.politifact.com/florida/s...y-clinton-says-no-gop-candidate-has-talked-a/

What?

Hillary claims, "government not doing anything about college debt"... Isn't that a problem GOVERNMENT created?

Hillary "brings nothing to the table as potential POTUS". Her thing is nothing more than, "I just wanna be president, GODDAMNIT!!)

Interest rates were lowered revenues went up. Hemlines went up revenues went up.

it happened after all the tax cuts.
And when traced we see that even after the bush tax cuts the top rate paid more in revenues.
at some point even a leftist has to admit that Keynes himself was correct when he said in slow economic times tax decreases can create a stronger economy hence increasing revenues.

Sometimes companys lower prices to increase market share and revenue.
Raising prices sometimes leads to lower revenue.

I realize it takes about a 120 IQ plus to think in systems.... but I am pretty sure you have it.

Interest rates were lowered revenues went up. Hemlines went up revenues went up.

The Greatest Quote!

"My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment, in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that and I'm proud of that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment."

-- Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014

For tax return 2015, refresh your memory

As a brief reminder for those who forgot or for many that didn't know, here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015:
Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%
Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%
Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%
Estate tax went from 0% to 55%
A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added.

Remember: These taxes were all passed solely by the Democrats, without a single Republican vote.

I pay US taxes, though indirectly, as I've explained before.
