Hey Red? You are a liar. Scoreboard! The Republicans' concern with fiscal responsibility is no longer operative because they are WINNING ELECTIONS. "Facts". This is why I laugh at you.

Gee. the GOP has won control of the legislative process in all federal offices and a majority of the statesand you yell SCOREBOARD?
Ok.
Thanks.

How about veterans affairs?

How much do you want to chop on that, YG?

[Yankguy1]

 I don't want to "chop" any of Veteran's Affairs What makes you think I do? I'm not a member of a party whose whole basis of opposition AND running for office was "fiscal responsibility" "balanced budgets" and eliminating the deficit. In other words I'm not a fucking liar.

The GOP has lied about what policies they would enact and what the expected effect of those policies would be in every election since Ike. Republicans winning elections is disease currently being cured, an ailment that has led to every dark and shameful chapter in our last century of history.

Americans are so lucky...when the killer terrorists start shooting and hacking off heads [as in London], the Americans can whip out their guns and shoot back!
Me, I'm not allowed to carry guns, so I'm just a sitting duck for the nasty terrorists.
The nasty terrorists have swords with which to hack me up, guns off all types with which to mow me down in the street or in my home, and bombs to blow off some or all of my limbs.

Donald trump understands, about terrorists...hence his immigration and travel bans

Travel bans? Like the old Chris Rock joke: “I ain’t afraid of no Al Qaida, I’m scared of Al Cracka!”

On his Facebook page, Clark had posted dozens of videos spanning years delving into absurd conspiracies, including beliefs that Satanists run amok and control the world. He believed Pizzagate is real (it’s not, but it did lead to a seriously dangerous situation) and more recently that someone deep within the U.S. intelligence community is posting clues to troll boards, including 4chan and 8chan, about a coming political reckoning.

Clark is accused of starting the Holy Fire that has burned nearly 20,000 acres in Southern California and is only 5 percent contained.

The latter, referred to as QAnon, has suckered legions of conspiracy-minded parties to believe that President Donald Trump is secretly busting a massive pedophile ring. They also believe the president will be liberated from all suspicion in special counsel Robert Mueller’s FBI investigation into Russia’s possible influence on the 2016 presidential election.

As HuffPost reporter Andy Campbell has pointed out, the conspiracy has led to real-world consequences. In June, a man armed with an AR-15 drove an armored vehicle onto the bridge near the Hoover Dam in Nevada where he had a standoff with police before officers arrested him. While blocking traffic, he held up a sign that read “Release the OIG report,” which QAnon had recently been posting about.

Clark’s arrest earlier this week once again puts the spotlight on the possible real impact of conspiracies.

It bigger than that. All across the country now, everyone sees you and everyone smells you coming up the street. It’s clear as day, the less we trust you with the better off we are.

Infrastructure

Defense

Opioid treatment

You're not OK with that stuff, YG?

I'm not okay with the infrastructure bill because it is a sham that fails to do what we need done by a wide margin.
February 2018:

"We will build gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways, and waterways all across our land," Trump said in announcing the plan. "And we will do it with American heart, and American hands, and American grit."

The program, he said, would produce "the biggest and boldest infrastructure investment in American history."

But a review of the plan by analysts at the Wharton School – Trump's alma mater – found that most of the incentives would fail to attract anything close to the $1.5 trillion goal.

March 2018: "President Donald Trump said his much-hyped infrastructure plan will likely have to wait until after this year's midterm elections."
May 2018: "President Trump's legislative framework for a sweeping overhaul of the nation's infrastructure appears all but dead in Congress."
July 2018: "Eighteen months into his administration, no credible proposal for anything near that scale has been made. To the extent that the Trump administration has a plan at all for public investment, it involves pumping up Pentagon spending, not investing in roads, bridges, transportation, better Internet access, or other pressing needs of the civilian economy."

It's a joke - and a bad one.

https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/the-impact/economic-impact/

Even though the U.S. Congress and some states have recently made efforts to invest more in infrastructure, these efforts do not come close to the $2.0 trillion in needs.

That was 2017. The need is not shrinking and every day that the Administration and the GOP drag their feet, the problem gets worse and more expensive to fix.

I'm not okay with the "defense" because of waste, excess, corruption, and a dozen other reasons. Our military budget is so much larger than other countries' budgets that it is laughable, in a maniacal sort of way.

"Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned the military they better spend (the extra money) wisely"

In his dreams.

...
Opioid treatment is even more of a laugh.

This is a free book from the Hoover Institution called Dueling Populisms.

The author is Victor Davis Hanson. I doubt my left-leaning friends will care for him much, but he has some interesting perspectives.

Red, on the days when he is alert, would probably find it probative and informative. Kiid has no chance in hell of understanding it. Bambu will think it's brilliant, then he will get to the end of the Table of Contents.

[barton]

Take a sip of covfefe and chuckle as you recall that GOP is the self-anointed party of fiscal conservativism and deficit reduction.   Nothing from Redward on what happened to that pillar.

Self Annointed?
Since 2010 the GOP has gained about 1000 legislative seats across the country by winning  ELECTIONS !
In other words by winning the consent of the governed.

So, still nothing from Red on what happened to the fiscal principles of the GOP.   

Say one thing.  Get elected.  Then do the opposite of what you said.  Uh-huh.

I know you're not too bright and anything more than 280 words is a challenge for you, but do you read what you link to?

Someone didn't read their own link.   Teehee.
