What's this?

You have some strange bias against dems that clouds your vision

Republicans give away just as much shit, the difference is they don't pay for it and it goes to wealthy and corporations instead of people that actually need it. As an example, the GOP desperately wants to repeal the estate tax so spoiled dicks like Don Jr. don't have to pay taxes on whatever his fat father leaves him, but rediscover fiscal responsibility when we want to help the people really struggling? I will never understand that. Especially for the "Christian" party.

And we are in a pandemic that will kill a half million people in a 12-month period! Obama and Biden will run up the deficit cleaning up messes left by the prior GOP presidents. GOP presidents run up deficits to pander to wealthy donors and corporations all the time.

Nope, entirely the opposite. -- HAZER 01/15/2021 09:21AM

But you blamed Obama for it in your post -- wahoo138 01/15/2021 10:22AM
