I Hate the GOP So Much... And Trump Too!


EXCERPTING:

Tea party Republicans arrived in Washington seven years ago with a clear, loud message from angry voters: Slash spending. But once again, spending is going way up.

“Part of our job right now (is) that we keep pounding that Republicans still stand for fiscal responsibility,” said Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., who chairs the House Republican Study Committee, a coalition of conservatives.

* THAT'S A LIE. McClatchy is LYING to you. The Republican Study Committee hasn't been a coalition of conservatives for... ages. The "committee" was co-opted by the GOP Leadership years ago.

* Folks... it's SO easy to manipulate the ignorant. Either you know that what I'm telling you is true... or you didn't know BUT DO BELIEVE ME now that I'm telling you... but for the average person just READING this crap without ME to correct the record... they're already basing their reactions on a false premise.

* As to the spending... THAT is true. It's WAY up. Thanks to Trump. Trump sucks. He's NOT a leader. He's thrown his lot in with Ryan and McConnell and that's that.

The [REPUBLICAN] bill could add as much as $320 billion to the debt over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and push the fiscal 2019 deficit past $1.2 trillion, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a research group. The [REPUBLICAN] deal included about $100 billion in offsets, not enough to assuage many conservatives.

It was one of the biggest deficit-busters since the 2009 economic stimulus plan that spent nearly $800 billion as the nation reeled from the Great Recession of 2007-09. Since then, other budget bills have been approved by familiar Republican-Democrat coalitions, with tea party loyalists usually opposed.
What stings this time is that for the first time since 2007, Republicans have controlled the House, Senate and White House for the past year.

 * Trump betrayed us.

* America is done.
