Conservatives pretend to care about the defict.
How quaint..........
How quaint... a "liberal" (who we KNOW doesn't care about deficits, because he probably doesn't pat taxes), making light of deficits, taxing and spending, by projecting towards a "conservative", as if that nullifies the deficit spending by Biden and the Democrats. (see signature)

US Deficit Skyrockets Thanks To Biden's Massive Government Spending

Summary:
https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/04/us-deficit-bidenomics-government- spending/
The federal government's deficit for fiscal year 2023 is set to double
thanks largely to large amounts of government spending greenlit by the
Biden administration, according to budget experts surveyed by The
Washington Post.
The deficit will most likely reach $2 trillion, doubling from 2022's $1 trillion deficit, because of President Joe Biden's increased government spending on the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as higher Social
Security payments due to elevated inflation, according to the Post.
This deficit jump is one of the largest in a time outside of major
crises such as wars and recessions, and signals a further increase in
interest rates and more economic difficulties in the near future.
"A debt growing much faster than the economy will drive up interest
rates, reduce economic investment, and over time make interest payments
the largest federal expenditure - risking a federal debt crisis," Brian
Riedl, an economist at the Manhattan Institute, said, according to the
Post.
Explosive piece in the Washington Post (by @JStein_WaPo assisted by @BudgetHawks) showing that the budget deficit is set to to
$2 trillion this year.
This is basically unprecedented in U.S. history during relative peace
and prosperity.

The recent deficit jump could potentially impact Biden's hopes for re-
election in 2024, as voters respond to economic difficulties. Biden has
touted his goal to reduce the deficit in his "Bidenomics" plan, and
criticized former President Trump for his response to the deficit
during his time in office, according to a White House press release.
Biden has repeatedly claimed that his policies reduced the federal
deficit, but government spending only reduced after COVID-19 related
spending measures expired following Biden's entrance into office.
The government has spent $1.61 trillion more than it brought in since
October 2022, marking a 122% deficit increase, according to the U.S.
Department of Treasury. If the deficit continues to grow at this pace, Americans will earn an estimated $9,000 less per year in 2049 - a 10%
decrease - compared to declining debt, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
"To see this in an economy with low unemployment is truly stunning.
There's never been anything like it," Jason Furman, former economic
advisor to the Obama administration, said, according to the Post. "A
good and strong economy, with no new emergency spending - and yet a
deficit like this. The fact that it is so big in one year makes you
think it must be some weird freakish thing going on."
The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller
News Foundation's request for comment.
Fuck, Joe Biden!
===============================================================================
The Liberal Argument Outline
1. Use spun facts:
These can be found on Huffington Post, Daily Kos, MSNBC, and many other liberal sources. What they do is take facts, polls or arguments and add a liberal spin in a weak attempt to make bad news for liberals look good. These are easily debunked and exposed as lies by going to the original source and posting the hard, cold facts with NO spin.
Note: At this point, you have won. It should never take more than one
post to win an argument with a liberal. It is recommended that you claim victory and disengage at this point. If you continue, for fun or
experimental purposes, no further logic will be forthcoming from the
liberals.
2. The Next Step For The Liberal Will Be To Attempt To Discredit Your
Source
If it is Fox or any perceived "right wing" source, they will refuse to
believe it. If it is a non-partisan source, they will claim it is right
wing, if it is a left of center source, they will find another lefty
source to "prove" you are wrong. They will not discuss the facts
themselves, as they know they have lost. If you must go down this road
(there is a high entertainment value), don't allow this diversion. Go
back to the facts.
3. The Limbaugh Defense:
This is one that comes out early and often. Although you know they never listen to Rush Limbaugh and have no idea what he says, they will drag him out and claim you are a Ditto head. This is another diversionary tactic. It has no relevance and is an attempt to change the subject. The more desperate they are, the more childish and ridiculous the reference to Limbaugh becomes: Flush, LimpBag, etc. Ignore this and re-post the facts. DO NOT BE DIVERTED.
4. The Personal Attack:
Another common thread. Also designed to divert the lost argument. NEVER give any hint of personal information. Even something as innocuous as "I am a chef".
They will attempt to engage you and call you a liar to divert attention
from the original lost argument. Ignore this and re-post the facts yet
to be refuted.
5. Name Calling:
Still another diversion. If you fail to give them any personal information, they will attempt to draw you out to gain more insight into your personal side. Then they will return to step 4. Ignore this.
6. The Liberal Bat Signal:
When they find out they are unable to engage
you, divert you or goad you into a completely irrelevant topic, they
will send out the Bat Signal. This is where a bunch of Liberals (or
often, the same one using several names, i.e., Rudy) post a number of
rapid fire posts congratulating the Liberal on handing you your head on
a platter. This tactic often works on even the most logical and
disciplined of us. The urge to rant must be resisted. Your rant will
supply them with all the personal insight they need to spew hatred and
personal attacks. The best tactic here is to use the same tactic back at
them.
Keep in mind, a Liberal will never admit you have a valid point (Dutch
did, once), much less that you won a debate. So, the only reasons to
continue a dialog with a liberal after the initial statement of facts
that established your victory are for entertainment and educational
purposes. If you refuse to take the bait and demand the topic remain on
the original premise, they will eventually just go away and try to find
someone else that will engage them on their terms.
Now, go away, Snowflake.
