And why do you think that the first couple want to do anything about the debt problem? Their actions so far haven't given any indication debt reduction - the kind that would be necessary to do anything about the national debt - is any kind of priority for them?
I'm not even remotely a fan of our national debt, either. It's just that... if you actually cared about that issue, you'd be supporting Democrats. Full stop.
Clinton balanced the budget. We were talking about eliminating the national debt by 2010. Not the deficit, the debt. Then Bush showed up, cut taxes for the rich, and in a few months they were talking about working hard to cut the deficit in half in ten years.
Yeah, no. No you wouldn't.
I don't even disagree. But the thing is, Trump isn't a standard Republican. In fact, a very significant component of the Republican opposition to Trump comes from the fact that he threatens to disrupt their gravy train. The fact that prior Republicans have also been bad on the budget isn't an argument in favor of Democrats. None of the current Democrats have anything like Bill Clinton's fiscal responsibility.
Oh, I do. He's like a completely different president in regards to the budget. Last time I think he basically left the issue to Congress, because he wasn't ready to handle it on his own, and that didn't work out great. I absolutely agree on that. This time is different. This time he's making moves that he never even tried last time. This time he's not deferring to Congressional Republicans.
I have no idea who you're referring to, but it absolutely wasn't me.
Bill Clinton isn't running the party. No current Democrat candidates look anything like Bill Clinton.
For one, the spending cuts need to happen even if you raise taxes. We are in too deep a hole for tax increases to dig us out of. For another, they should negotiate for keeping the taxes they want. Offer spending cuts in exchange for keeping taxes. You know, do their job as politicians.
What does that even mean?

That’s one thing I can agree with the Trump admin on then. Support of de facto independence for Taiwan.The US State Department has dropped a statement from its website which stated that Washington does not support Taiwan's independence - a move which has sparked anger in China.
China said the revision "sends a wrong... signal to separatist forces advocating for Taiwan independence", and asked the US to "correct its mistakes".
The department's fact sheet on Taiwan-US relations earlier included the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence" - this was removed last week as part of what it said was a "routine" update.

Trump lost money by becoming president. Perhaps the only person to do so in the past 100 years.
Yeah, coming on the heals of Big Man Biden, I can't take this complaint seriously.
And yet, he's cutting spending. And that's what people are (predictably) most upset by.
That there is your fantasy narrative.
Your willful blindness and history of extreme mental gymnastics doesn't make your position all that credible. *shrug*
Every accusations, etc.
Investigate every person that has the gall to dissent.
