POTUS on ballooning debt "I won't be here" when it blows up

[UsualName]

Schizophrenic Republicans alert

That's how tax cuts work. You cut taxes, the deficit increases temporarily, then you get a huge bump in tax revenue.

GDP increased 40% under Bush despite having 9/11, a burst tech bubble, the financial crisis and hurricane katrina.
GDP only increased 23% under Obama despite literally having nothing of note happen under his presidency.
GDP is already up 11% under Trump. We're at $20.6 Trillion GDP and going strong.

Nothing of note happened during Obama’s presidency?

Are you brain damaged? We were in the midst of an awful economic situation that brought us to the brink of a full on depression.

I just don’t understand how you right wingers act like this never happened and how damaged the economy was when Obama took over.

It’s absolutely mind boggling that you don’t factor the Great Recession into your analysis. Were you in a coma from 2007 to 2010?

Yet Bush left a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit after coming into office with a surplus and Trump increased the deficit from 600 billion to 1 trillion.

There are 3 branches of government. The shit shows you mention are when democrats controlled 2/3rd of government. The good shit like the surplus is when republicans controlled 2/3rds of government.

Im not changing the goalposts to fit my narrative. You start talking in dollars, and when I point out Obama spent more dollars than Bush, you change it to percentage increase in deficit. When I point out the big increases in deficit happen under democrat controlled congress, you say republicans lit the fire, but ignore democrats threw gas on it.

This thread is the epitome of fake news.----lefties see something that they think is favorable to their narrative and immediately re-elite it without checking anything out.
