(55,855 posts)republican fiscal policy is a racket. they drain the treasury and run up huge deficits, giving massive cuts and giveaways to rich donors, who naturally kickback a portion to get their republican politician re-elected.
then a democrat becomes president and all of a sudden they're all about fixing the deficit. they love tax hikes just so long as it's a democrat they can blame it on and of course, as long as it doesn't hurt the rich too badly. but then, they don't really mind even that too much because it gives them an excuse to hit up the rich for more contributions so they can get in a fresh tax cut for them, etc.
rinse, repeat.
every little everything democrats do has to be fully paid for. then donnie comes in and immediately burns a $2+ trillion hole in the deficit for no good reason whatsoever.
rules for democrats, no rules for republicans.
