I am curious if you have enough experience with my opinion on that topic to form such a firm proclamation about me.


Are you saying you are fine with large deficits then?

The National debt has now reached 21.5 trillion dollars. Link
The National debt has increased by 7.66% under Trump. And Trump inherited a good economy.

7.66% ?
and this is after he inherited the 74% deficit increase from Obama?

What were the time spans on both, again?

Looks like Obama was spending us out of an economic recession and into a measure of stability, which was more than achieved.

Is Trump trying to spend us out of economic stability? ; )

Not at all. I don't see people from the far right criticizing Trump over significantly increasing the deficit during good economic times. You haven't.


At least one Republican did.

"The other thing is there's a huge hypocrisy factor. Republicans lambasted President Obama to no end for trillion-dollar deficits and now they have put forward a trillion-dollar deficit," the Republican from Kentucky told CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday night.

"I think the American people are going to be surprised, upset, hurt that so the so-called conservatives got elected and then turned out to be not much different than the people they were criticizing," Paul added.

I notice he is essentially being ignored. We also don't see ajax or subby complain about it now that republicans control all three levels of government. He is right about the hypocrisy. Fiscal responsibility is not what the Republicans have been about for decades now.

Are you too stupid to know why or just too dishonest?
