Or maybe they aren't the super liberials you claim they are.I dont agree Reagan is that great but I do understand why many do and they have a sound argument unlike Trump supporters who think Trump is great president.
Obama inherited a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit,temporarily raised it to 1.4 trillion than brought it down to 600 billion where he left it. Bush inherited a nearly 200 billion dollar a year surplus and turned it into a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit and thats where he left it. Trump inherited a 600 billion dollar a year deficit and has increased to over a trillion and it continues ro rise.
I have a confession to make: In spite of my many misgiving about the Radical Leftists, Communists, Socialists, and the like, I find it strangely exciting to see AOC to be Bernies campaigning avatar. A live and energetic avatar at that. I guess when voters feel unrepresented by the established politicians, they become more “open minded about trying out the new guy”. Or idea. Especially for those who don’t remember or know the history of the Communists, etc., and their associations. Even Trump might be increasingly looking like part of the “establishment” to some. Although continued outrageous behavior by the Left seems to be keeping Trump as looking like the only sane choice right now. Strong economy with decisively strong labor and equities markets doesn’t hurt either. The establishment really needs to change their ways and lighten up on their corruption, cronyism, and continued assault on individual rights and privacy. Or they may be politically replaced. For a long time. So maybe AOC can provide the energy in Bernie’s campaign that he is lacking, but in the final analysis, it would be still be Bernie for President if he were to win the nomination and beat Trump. Biden seems overwhelmingly DOA to me. The optics of his recent interactions with outspoken voters does not sit well with those who are looking to feel represented.
Obama was President for 8 years and had high sustained budget deficits, considerably outpacing corrupt Bush in total. Trump has a soft heart for supporting all the funding that benefits Leftist causes at the expense of a higher Federal budget. Trump has been much less partisan than Bush was, in my opinion. Edit: Higher budget deficit, not lower.
You and CNN are missing a few years. Coincidentally, those years were the largest deficit years in during the Obama Administration. The deficits I’m talking about are the one Obama signed off on and that ended up being one of the reasons voters threw Democrats out of office en mass in 2010, changing the balance of power in the House, Senate, and Governorships. You are welcome to board the Trump Train. It may be in need of a paint job and the toilets could be cleaner, but at least it is taking us to a destination that is worth going to. Edit:
The full data is not yet out on Obama’s deficits? Is that because they are still counting or is something being held back? Is being over budget even allowed? Even looking at the chart you provided, add up Bushes total budget deficits and compare them to Obama’s budget deficit. Obama’s (Budget deficit) is bigger overall than Bushes. Try again. May I respectfully suggest either abandon your position or at least find something about Obama that can at least stand up to superficial scrutiny? Good luck. I’ll reserve a seat for you on the Trump Train. You can thank me later.
