You REALLY want to try to defend Tumpy as fiscally conservative @DCPatriot
Bring it. Because you can't. The damages done by Tumpy the clown to fiscal conservatism and libertarianism are epic, and plain on their face.
It seems some would prefer to rewrite history. Go ahead and try. I will be here to defend the truth.
@roamer_1 I normally don't like arguing with brick walls,so I will post this once and then try to leave the discussion.
NO modern one-term President can carry the burden of an infalted budget that he inherited on this shoulders because the first two years he or she is dealing with a budget agreement that was already signed-off on before he or she took office.
By the second two years they can begin to make some changes,but even then it is uphill.
To make the radical changes we need,we need to have a President like Trump,and in addition to that,we need to have a conservative Congress that will vote for the new spending bills the new President wants passed.
Even then it isn't a slam-dunk because of the spending bills already passed.
The flip side of this is the Dim Presidents usually seem to get credit for cutting back spending their first year or two in office,DESPITE the fact that they had nothing to do with the budget in effect when they take office for the first time.
It is almost impossible for ANY first-term President to control spending because the deals have already been made,even if they haven't been made public yet.
As for Trump,we will never know for sure what he would have done with a second term because the Dims,the RINO's, and other "Rude Orange Man" haters made sure he wouldn't get a second term by allowing the DNC to steal the election by using bogus ballots.
I will finish this post by flat stating the condition of the country today is PRIMARILY due to the Miss Manners Republicans,and you know who you are,that refused to help Trump or to vote for him because of his manners.
Ok,NOW I will finish this post by adding the "Miss Manners Republicans" are THE vilest creatures known to mankind,and you should all ESAD.
