Did We Just Hear Three Democratic Candidates Talk About Reducing Deficit and Debt?
What is this, 2008?

Most moments in Democratic presidential debates this cycle can be classified in one of three ways: 1) Let's raise all the taxes! 2) Let's spend all the money! Or 3) Let's squabble endlessly over the dreamy-time details of the tax/spending increases on Medicare for All. That, and whatever stupid slap fights the moderators want to egg on.

So color me flabbergasted that not one but two of the six candidates on stage tonight, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D–Minn.) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said—out loud, even—that they intend to reduce the deficit. Klobuchar, who used to make noises about deficit hawkery back when George W. Bush was president, went first, asking viewers to check out her plan online. And here it is!

Their global warming policies alone would drive the budget totally out of control.  More lies. :#@$%:

Both parties, "talk"

The usual result, a standoff then settlement, with increased deficits to cover both Guns and Butter

We are way past managing debt... The long term destruction continues unabated with absolutely no one actually doing anything about it.

It wasn’t that long ago when then candidate Trump had a “plan” to reduce the deficit and debt in eight years

By design, I think... Neither side wants the strict austerity it would take to actually turn this thing around.

Whenever somebody running for office says “I have a plan for…”  I  instinctively cringe

Well, obviously that did go as planned.

I wouldn't believe any democrat-communist regarding "the debt".
Not a word from any of 'em.

Me neither. The difference is, I don't believe the Republicans either.
