GOP spending, we’ve seen it before

Sat., Feb. 3, 2018

The Republicans get into office promising to slash taxes and the size of government, and yes they do slash taxes on corporations and the rich. They also give a token amount to middle class and working poor to keep them in line.

To stimulate the economy they deficit spend on the military, because you can never have enough military. But military spending does not help our GNP; it is wasted spending. Since the corporations do not flood back into the U.S. the economy slows down, and the Republicans have to start a war to stimulate the economy again.

With a ballooning debt, and sluggish growth, the Democrats have to come back in to right the ship and fix the economy. And we start it all over again. Luckily we have a never-ending supply of low-information voters.
